The hidden iPod was spotted by <a href="https://x.com/kianworld/status/2113519872999301172?s=20">users on social media</a> on Friday. It's appropriately stocked with music from the early 2000s, like Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" or Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." The iPod seems to pop up on any non-existent Apple Music page, so you can find it by just adding a string of random letters after the main Apple Music URL. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">theres a hidden fully functional ipod as a 404 page on apple music <a href="https://t.co/vLYpnkHG4x">https://t.co/vLYpnkHG4x</a> <a href="https://t.co/0cSz4SF1kp">pic.twitter.com/0cSz4SF1kp</a></p>- Kian (@kianworl …</blockquote></div></figure> <p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/1017413/apple-music-ipod-404-page">Read the full story at The Verge.</a></p>
