While the rest of Apple's products still take pride of place, the iPod has been removed from its website.

Apple has just pulled the iPod from its website's main menu, giving Apple Music the portable media player's spot.

The main menu at the top of Apple's page used to used to advertise the company's hardware, like the Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad, and later the Apple Watch.

While the rest of Apple's products still take pride of place, the iPod has been removed, AppleInsider pointed out, and Apple Music has taken its place.

The iPod hasn't been removed from Apple's site completely. It can still be found at the bottom of the Apple Music page, or at the company's online store.

In the first quarter of 2007, the iPod made up more than 48% of Apple's revenue. But thanks to the iPhone and its smartphone competitors, the device's sales have been declining for years.
