Apple (and other brands) needs to bring back IPods. Kids should be able to listen to music and audiobooks without having a cell phone or a device that also serves as a screen for playing games, texting, or using the internet. Let kids be kids!
Personal MP3 players are still a thing, I think.
Kids probably look at them as early millennial relics though.
What I do see often is four or five kids with an outsize bluetooth speaker, streaming one of their playlists for the group to listen to. So an update on ghetto blasters.
