While Apple has apparently abandoned the market for dedicated music players and retired the iPod brand, Innioasis has copied the design of the Apple iPod Classic including the click whee with an affordable music player that sports modern features like USB-C and Bluetooth.

The Innioasis Y1 is a music player that clearly copies the design of the Apple iPod Classic or the smaller 3rd-gen iPod Nano. The manufacturer even includes a click wheel, which allows users to quickly scroll through lists, control playback and skip songs. Even the menu structure was inspired by the Apple iPod, but the software differs from the original in many ways.

Additionally, Innioasis has also modernized the specs in several important areas. For example, the Y1 offers a USB-C port for charging the integrated 1,250mAh battery. The battery is expected to provide a runtime of 35 hours of music playback or four hours of video playback. The small 1.8 inch-hard drive of the iPod Classic is replaced by 128GB flash storage, which results in a capacity that is actually smaller than that of Apple's old music player.

Thanks to Bluetooth 4.2, the music player can be connected to wireless headphones, while a 3.5mm headphone jack is also available. Furthermore, the player supports 21 different file formats for music and audiobooks and features an integrated FM radio. Innioasis provides no technical specifications for the built-in amplifier and digital-to-analog converter, but considering the price, buyers should not expect miracles regarding audio quality.

Price and availability

The Innioasis Y1 music player available for $54 on Amazon. More details regarding the features can be found on the official product page.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
