## iPod 袜子：一款古怪的苹果配件 苹果于 2004 年 11 月推出 iPod 袜子，这是一套六只色彩鲜艳的针织棉袜，旨在保护 iPod 在旅途中免受刮擦。 史蒂夫·乔布斯以一种假装严肃的态度将其呈现为“革命性”产品，售价 29 美元。 尽管因妨碍访问 iPod 的控制功能和相对较高的价格而受到批评，但由于其通用性和鲜艳的色彩，这些袜子出人意料地受欢迎。 评论褒贬不一，iLounge 给予了“有限推荐”。 苹果在 2012 年 9 月左右停止销售 iPod 袜子，迅速将其变成收藏品。 到 2014 年，转售市场的价格飙升至高达 90 美元。 今天，人们将其铭记为一段“古怪”但标志性的苹果历史，经常与更近期的古怪配件（如抛光布）进行比较。

## iPod 袜子：苹果历史中的一个回忆 一个 Hacker News 的讨论重新提及了苹果的“iPhone 口袋”——最初是 iPod 袜子——一种针织配件，售价 29 美元（约合今天的 49 美元），主要用于保护早期的 iPod 免受刮擦。这次讨论引发了怀旧和乐趣，用户们分享了使用袜子保护 iPod、早期 iPhone 甚至 Kindle 的记忆。 许多人回忆起即使在 2004 年，价格也出乎意料地高，并且后来它成为了收藏品，在二手市场上的售价高达 90 美元以上。 讨论还涉及了现代手机保护，将当时对保护壳的需求（由于设备脆弱或机械部件）与当前对纤薄、裸露手机的偏好（尽管它们玻璃易碎）进行了对比。 除了怀旧之外，评论者还开玩笑地谈论了未来苹果的配件——比如 Vision Pro 的内裤——并强调了一个简单的针织产品在科技世界中令人惊讶的寿命。

Protective knitted case for iPod devices

iPod Socks in orange and green

iPod Socks were a set of multi-colored cotton knit socks introduced by Apple Inc. in November 2004 for protection of iPods from damage during travel.[1]

The socks were jokingly presented by Apple CEO Steve Jobs as a "revolutionary new product" at a special music event held on October 26, 2004.[2][3] They were available in a package of six different colors, including green, purple, grey, blue, orange and pink, for US$29.[4]

Apple stopped selling the product sometime in September 2012.[5] The set soon became a collector's item, with aftermarket prices rising as high as US$90 by 2014.[6]

Jeremy Horwitz of iLounge gave a rating of B− for the socks, indicating a "Limited Recommendation". Horwitz noted the product's two-toned design and ability to hold an iPod of any size, but criticized the socks for inhibiting access to the screen and controls and high price.[7] In 2021, Chaim Gartenberg of The Verge described the product as a "bizarre piece of Apple's history" comparable to the Polishing Cloth, noting that the socks remained relatively popular during its availability from 2004 to 2012 due to their "relatively universal size" and bright colors.[8]
