The history of the iPod nano

Since its introduction in 2005, there have been several generations of iPod nano. Apple's small music player has been at the heart of the company's music strategy for over a decade, and has seen a lot of changes in its lifetime.

I have had an 3rg gen nano since it's release.

It's followed me through high school and university. It's been in sweden, england, greece, turkey and many other countries.
It's been playing King Crimson, Sci-fi audiobooks and compressed mp4 rips of Futurama and M*A*S*H in bed at home in stockholm, in sleeping bags in wild reserves in the north of sweden and on tossing sailing boats. And nowadays It's always in my pocket whenever I excercise or if I'm unsure my phone battery won't last..

Out of all the stupid and uncessecary high tech junk I have aquired over the years, this little thing I really love :)

what's wrong wearing the nano as watch? I think is better than the iwatch, one of the last creation by steve job before he passed away, I think the 6th gen nano watch is the true iwatch

I still use a 5th generation iPod nano that I got when I was a senior in high school. It's a 16GB Product(Red) version that I ordered with the engraving "Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud", the opening line to Motorhead's "Overkill". I hate the new nanos that dropped the click wheel.

This video made me want to go out and buy a new iPod Nano. Great job pal!

When you said fat nano I was laughing so hard

I love my 3rd gen fat nano. Also, what's with the yellow finger?

Anyone else notice how much hardware can be packed into the newest and smallest ones, WITH the giant 30-pin port and oh look, they managed to fit a headphone jack. (Keep in mind some of these are even thinner than the iPhone 7)

I have to say that the 7th gen is my favorite, before I got that I had a 5th gen, which I liked but I never used the camera or its crappy speaker and I had ran out of storage on it. But I love how the 7th Gen has Bluetooth and a big touch screen.

I use the 2010 model for 5 years now. And yes, in a watch band. No problems with volume control, because I use the inline remote of the headphone. And it is definitely the best Nano ever!!! 👏👏👏

The 2nd gen Nano was my first MP3 player back in 2006. I upgraded to the 3rd gen in 2007, and then moved to the iPod touch in 2008.

I still have a blue 4th gen 4gb iPod Nano. Still works great today. :)

Great video. I have every iPod nano and my favorite is probably the 5th gen, w camera. I also used the 6th gen as a wristwatch with steel band for a few years back in 2013. Nowadays I use an iPod video 5.5G upgraded to a 64gb microsd storage. Sounds awesome!

The 3rd gen is my favorite. I traded it in for a 5th gen when those came out because I needed more storage. My 3rd had the lowest you could get on it (I can't remember what that is now). I still have and love my 5th. I keep it in my car mostly for throwback music

[cracklasco]

5th gens gotta be the most innovative and best model. Camera, and speakers. Where can you go wrong, how did they go so far backwards with the next generation?!

in april i got a pink gen 5 and i love it so much. the audio had better studio mode than spotify (that may be because the audio i use on the ipod is directly from discs so its the highest quality) and the click wheel is so fun. i got it partially for the camera for shitposting, and i dont regret it. the only problem is the battery is wack like it only lasts maybe 6 hours at most when playing music when the screen is off and the meter will go from being empty to half full within a minute, but thats only because i bought it 2nd hand when it was 11 years old. the next ipod nano im gonna get is the gen 7 because it looks really cool, ill probably get yellow because yellow plus pink is a perfect match and because its my favorite color. all in all the nano gen 5 is really good and if you want to only spend about 20 to 30 bucks and want a clickwheel id reccomend it (for me 100 songs took about half a gb at 256 to 320 kbs so for small libraries 8 gb is great) . if you dont care for clickwheels want more space and want to spend maybe 60 at least get a gen 7.

The iPod nano and shuffle were discontinued last week :(

I still remember my old iPod nano, I had the first generation one in black and I received it on my birthday when I was around 11 or 12. It was so cool and groundbreaking at the time and if you had one, all of your peers were jealous!

[Christodoulosts]

I have the light blue 7th gen... And I'm still in love with it!!!!

[albaformiga]

I have a 6th Gen Nano and I love it to bits

[RickThorne]

3rd generation was my first ipod and I use to love it, is very nostalgic to me
