iPods Last 21 Years. In iPod Years.

Apple says they build iPods to last 4 years. That makes one iPod year worth 20.75 human years. So the average human should purchase at least 20 iPods during their lifetime.

The iPod is 5 years old this year.

**Update** The Apple spokesperson was misquoted. Apple iPods are built to last "for years", not "four years". Darn liberal press. :-)
