For a limited time, you can turn your iPhone into a classic iPod with a new app, offering a nostalgic blast from the past.
While Apple typically removes such apps from the App Store quickly, this one lets you experience the iPod interface once more—if you’re quick.
The app, My Classic-Retro Console, doesn’t advertise the iPod emulator outright. Instead, it’s marketed as a GameBoy emulator, but it includes an option to add an iPod skin.
The app works by allowing you to apply custom skins, and once the iPod Classic theme is added, it hides the regular controls and replaces them with a virtual Click Wheel for an authentic iPod experience.
Available for $2.99, the app also features an iPod-themed web player that supports both Apple Music and Spotify.
However, given Apple’s strict App Store guidelines, apps like this tend to get pulled quickly, so grab it while you can.
While Apple’s policies are understandable, it’s unfortunate that these apps—offering fun, nostalgic experiences—are usually short-lived.
If you’re looking for a bit of retro joy, this is your chance before it’s gone.
