Sealed for 15 Years! - iPod nano Historical Unboxing

Quinn from Snazzy Labs opens a first-generation iPod nano—one of Apple's most important products ever.

This is a sealed in-box, never-opened first generation iPod nano—a device that I consider one of Apple’s most important products ever—and it’s one with a fascinating history. But before we get to this, we gotta rewind a bit because there's a lot of history from Apple's near-bankruptcy in the 90s to where they are today.

I love how DankPods is that one crazy guy that keeps slowly popping up everywhere eventually

Steve Jobs really knew how to present a product. Taking the Macbook Air out of an envelope, iPod nano out of his watch pocket, passing a laptop through a hula hoop to show that it's wireless, etc... I remembered thinking Apple was so revolutionary, it was literally bringing sci-fi into reality. I miss him.

Back in those days, every time Apple had a keynote, I was totally glued. Steve Jobs was so good at selling their products, I just wanted to own all of them. They've gotten a little too slick and shiny nowadays. Steve had a way of speaking to the audience like he was showing off a new toy.

I will never get over how fantastic your videos are Quinn. Well-researched, beautifully produced, and just so fun and entertaining!

In true DankPod lore we call this a “na-no”

[Chrispbacon]

The fact that 1 lossless album can be over a GB shows just how far we have come in 15 years wow

Let it sit on the standard adapter for a couple hours. The battery MIGHT reform itself.
Second option is to use the macbbook for a couple hours. Put the ipod on top of something cold (maybe from the freezer) for a couple hours. Put it in a safe area in case of fire. Last option is a new battery.

So happy to know that Quinn watches Dankpods! Maybe when things open up there could be a collaboration to review some nuggets? Just a thought!

Just watched this, ran to the next room, opened my "old stuff that I don't use anymore but I might use again one day... maybe" drawer, toke my nano out, plugged it to the computer, installed itunes, waited on it to update stuff and things, and it still works, after all these years. I love this little bugger!

Flashback podcast is really influencing new Snazzy videos and I’m loving it

[cookedtomato]

Every time I hear the word nano, I hear DankPods saying it

As an owner of the iPod mini at that time I was absolutely green with envy when everyone else was getting the nano while I was stuck with a mini. I loved it nonetheless until its last day after a good two years plus of use. The nano was just so cool with its insanely small design for what was then a pretty decent capacity.

[jevans]

I worked at the Apple store from 2004 - 2013 which is what I would say are the most interesting Apple years.

I would have never thought back then that opening a brand new nano would have commanded such attention. I must have opened hundreds of these with all the store openings I did.

Plugging it into the old 5W wall brick was some old head shit and I 100% support it
I've been loving these retro reviews, keep it up!

Incredibly hacky, not-at-all recommended fix for the USB power issue: splice the cable
Feed it steady 5V1A from the wall brick but leave the data lines in tact and plug that other, more different USB directly into the computer

12:10 Oh man, this takes me back… It’s January 2007, and I had just turned 13. I took my birthday money and was so excited to buy an iPod (Nano, 2nd gen). One small problem… Only dial-up internet was available where we lived, and Apple had stopped including an iTunes CD with the second gen. I wired my laptop into the phone jack late that night and initiated the iTunes download. ALL NIGHT. That is how long it took to download. ALL. NIGHT. Real time, it was probably 5-7 hours for what was a 45 MB file, if I remember correctly. Fortunately the connection didn’t time out, but you talk about serious anxiety waiting for iTunes to finish downloading just so I could sync like three CD’s worth of music. My goodness…

Man after more than a decade, seeing you come back after you left and with better content and production than ever before, I still love watching your channel. Thanks for staying snazzy.

[Mooooooof]

I had this in late 2005, it was a crazy upgrade from the iPod mini when it was announced. So cool and unexpected especially as iPod mini was a big seller at the time.

[MJake]

I have iphone as most of us do, and I still cought myself thinking - I would go to GYM with ipod nano :)

That introduction of the ipod history was so amazing. 9:05 Steve Jobs is such a genius 💗
