Apple kills ‘Rewound’ app that turns iPhone into classic iPod

San Francisco: Apple has removed an app called Rewound from its App Store that turned an iPhone into a virtual iPod with a click wheel like an old-era MP3 player.

In a post written on Medium, Rewound said it is launching a Rewound.fund to revive the app.

“Since we have been deprived of revenue by Apple, we are starting this fund for development of a Rewound Web App for iPhone/Android and Android native app,” said the company on Tuesday.

Rewound app let people customize their iPhones to look like a 2000s era MP3 player.

It grew exponentially across the world from Japan to China to Iran to Russia and the rest of mainland Europe.
