Apple's iPod Mini, launched in 2004, was a strategic response to the growing market of affordable MP3 players, priced at $249 to attract more consumers.
Steve Jobs emphasized at the launch that the iPod had a 31 percent market share but needed to expand to compete with cheaper brands like Rio and Creative.
At a time when the tech world was cluttered with gimmicks, the iPod Mini distinguished itself by focusing on quality, branding, and a user-friendly experience.
The review highlighted how the iPod Mini's design philosophy and ease of use contrasted sharply with competitors' features like FM recording and dual headphone jacks.
