Apple has added a hidden, interactive Easter egg on its website to mark the 25th anniversary of the original iPod. The Easter egg turns the standard error page on Apple Music into an interactive version of the iPod. Users can explore the device’s controls, browse select songs, and listen to short previews.
Apple’s website adds a hidden Easter egg to mark the 25th anniversary of the iPod
The first Apple iPod was introduced back on October 23, 2001. Today, i.e., October 23, 2026, marks the exact 25th anniversary of the gadget. The music player played a major role in shaping the company’s history. It changed the way people carried and listened to music. While the tech giant discontinued the product, it remains a topic of discussion among the legacy fans.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the iPod, Apple has added an interactive Easter egg on its website. The Easter egg was first spotted by the user Kian on X/Twitter. The Easter egg can be accessed by going to music.apple.com/ipod. Normally, the page displays a “Page Not Found” message. However, instead of the error message, the web page now shows an interactive version of the original iPod.
The interactive iPod refreshes the memory of legacy users
The interactive iPod on the website resembles controls found on the original device. Users can click its buttons to explore pre-installed songs. Moreover, the familiar scroll wheel works by clicking and dragging. Basically, the Easter egg recreates the look and basic operation of the original iPod. It gives users a chance to try out the original iPod’s interface without actually owning the hardware.
The digital iPod also includes songs by artists who were popular around the time the iPod launched. Users can select songs and play 90-second previews directly on the page. The Easter egg is a nice and thoughtful way to pay a small tribute to the product’s anniversary. It lets visitors revisit a device that played an important role in Apple’s growth.
