I'm someone who collects iPods. I'm so glad you called this an iPod nano because so many get this confused with the iPod shuffle. You would not believe how many times that I said iPod shuffle then somebody shows me a picture of that

[@frankdegarcia]

You can add more apps, voice memos, composers, genre, playlists, genius mixes, songs, books and iTunes U. Most of these can be added in settings and voice memos is activated when you plug in headphones

“Please plug in headphones to use radio” that’s the only thing I remember from iPods

Best technology ever created. I rinsed out one for these for 8 years until it died. I wish they'd remake it with Apple Music and wi-fi

[@ShockerTopper]

Reminds me of my first cell phone that has the same background as an original gameboy screen. It had 8 options on the “internet” it was all text of course and was limited to such categories as: news/weather/sports/stocks/business and 3 others. That was with my first cell phone I had in sophomore year of college, although I got it freshman year of college. Back then no one had a cell phone even at the rich school I went to in Orange County California. This was a school in which most people’s first cars were brand new $28,000 cars on average with maybe a dozen Benz’s and beamers and some classic cars like a Chevy Corvair (67), a Chevy el Camino (73), a few 60’s mustangs, a Chevy Malibu (68) and a few others I can’t think of off the top of my head.

[@Gamda24]

My grandma used to have one of these

[@xgamergx13]

I had a 6th gen nano from my mom, but we didn't have apple's ecosystem so I only used the radio function. It died when I accidentally forgot to take it out of my pocket when washing my pants.

[@galaxyglow5187]

I have a pink 8 gb iPod Nano I wear as a watch. For the headphone port, I have a cute dust plug charm I got from Etsy. It’s a star with beads.

[@Froezone]

i had this as a kid, i loved it so much cause it was so small but could carry all the music a kid could need.

[@dreamshots_PIB]

Exactly the one i have, also the same color 😁 i have a gucci wristband to mount it on with the clip and made it the "first" inofficial apple watch 😂

I thought this thing was super advanced at the time. I was used to the older ipods.

[@RobloxianX]

Going from a Nano 6, to a Series 0, to a Series 4, to a Series 7 to the Ultra has been such an experience. Cant wait to upgrade to the Series X later this year!

[@OfficialNice]

Never had one of these but I imagine with the watch band it was the best way to run with headphones in before Bluetooth was super common.

[@Batsy69]

I still have it.. and that best part is, its battery is still very good

7th gen is the nicest

[@The894CAT]

I agree

[@Kelson01]

True. It'd be nice if apple would make a modern iPod just for music without any app store or distractions. But they won't. They could market it with apple music or some such. So often when I open my phone to turn on a song or change a podcast I get caught up in (a few minutes, or longer) of nonsense other stuff I'm pulled into when I see an app icon. And it's all wasted time. I've gotten a lot more disciplined and do that less and less but still...

[@The894CAT]

@@Kelson01 That’s what the iPod touch is supposed to be for, but it doesn’t actually solve that problem well. I often find myself wanting to just literally listen to music, so I get out my iPod touch, and end up browsing the internet instead. lol

My sister bought this as her iWatch. I believe Apple didn't like the 5th Gen nano being treated as a wristwatch, but third parties keep making watch accessories for it.

[@Cyber_Horse_Studios87]

Honestly I think Apple made this thing to be the prototype for the Apple Watch. They probably knew people would wear it like one after all. Especially since the first Apple Watch released only 5 years later… the design is similar in many ways too. Plus they never revisited this as the final nano took on a more “fit bit / mini iPhone” look.

[@aleksabalos6969]

Bought one in pristine condition in 2022 for 30€ because I didn't want to carry my huge phone in pocket for listening music, it is really awesome iPod, I used to clip it on my pants while using it, it always had excellent sound quality

Though it would be kind of a waste of apples time, I think it would’ve been kind of cool if they took the iPod nano seven and made it kind of like the touch screen iPod. Not necessarily with a camera, but able to download and install apps & such.

[@AdminHouse]

Relace thst bsttery

[@creativetech215]

The battery is prolly Completely dead. I bet its the capacitors holding it for that amount of time

[@Kelson01]

oh maybe yea. But a whole second of charge? Also note that it turned off immediately when it was only plugged in for a couple hours, and after being plugged in for over a week it started lasting for a little over a second.

[@RS-fz4ps]

This is funny people don’t know what this is. Can you get your hands on the first gen shuffle?

[@Kelson01]

I will get one of those very soon! :D Yeah and it's totally wild. These weren't super common though I think. But I was only 7 years old when they were announced so I don't have a great reference point.

[@lorenzo.delbello]

There is a watch strap for it

[@Greenteabook]

I was given one of these when my second gen was recalled for a bad battery. Then this one got a bad battery within three years. I learned *_early_* that Apple's planned battery death was happening.

[@sign_verken]

Yet they "can't fit" a headphone jack on new phones. If you cab fit it on that, and a phone that it cuts into the back of, you can fit it on your new phones

I hate Apple and have never bought any of their products. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't like this form factor back when it first was announced when I was about 16. I even remember thinking how cool it would be to wear it on a watch band and watch movies on. I was a dumb kid.

You can say what you want about Apple but their products work good and are longer lasting. Android is so laggy and trash after 5-10 years

[@ShockerTopper]

Hey Kiddo this isn’t some sort of “relic” from the past it’s a Nano made in late 2000’s lol. It’s not anything special. I don’t even consider iPod video’s to be anything worth talking about besides the fact they were $300 for the lower model and that was like half my paycheck at Best Buy at the time as a SUPERVISOR! Haha. It takes me back though to simpler times for sure. Whenever I see videos of kids talk about this stuff like they’re showing a vintage beta tape player it makes me laugh. Oh silly kids, you really got the short end of the stick by being born way too late and not getting to enjoy the last good years to grow up in (late 80’s/90’s). It’s funny hearing how jealous kids are that they didn’t grow up then as well, but at the same time I don’t feel that Gen-Z and millennials deserved to grow up then because that would infer they deserved a happy childhood and not the miserable one they had. I mean how could dumb kids possibly “enjoy” life without cell phones, full fledged internet and computers to write papers on! They would have been miserable being forced to hand write papers for school, actually have to go to REAL friends houses to hang out, and to be forced to converse with others while hanging out instead of being glued to their phones. So why would Gen-z losers want to grow up when we did? Haha…keep pretending it was better to have cell phones in school, social media, computers for everything and not needing to speak with people next to you. Oh ya and don’t forget these ancient things called “books” we were required to read for school and otherwise.
