Rewound, the viral app that lets you turn your iPhone into an iPod completely with its classic click wheel design has been pulled from the App Store by Apple, the app's developer said in a blog post on Monday.
Rewound took you back to the iPod-era
The app, which arrived on Apple's marketplace last week, had already crossed 170,000 downloads before it was pulled. The concept behind the app was simple – it allowed users to download skins and transform their iPhone into an iPad Classic and enjoy some nostalgia playing music from their Apple Music library.
Why did Apple remove the app?
In an article on Medium, Rewound's developer explained that the American technology company had the app removed because it copied the iPod's design, charged a fee for Apple Music features, and could easily be mistaken for an Apple-designed app.

"Rewound was specifically designed not to infringe on Apple's trademarks and we didn't," the app's developer, Louis Anslow, wrote. "Rewound could look many ways. Not until users started sharing/using click wheel skins did they ban the app."
