So the third generation’s breakthrough was actually video playback. They just didn’t want to say it since they were taking it away with the sixth generation lolol
This device still was so ahead of its time. The size of it still blows my mind. I mean to think you could have like 3 thousand songs with a touchscreen on such a tiny device still is amazing when you sit and think about it compared to how far we had been up to that point.
I remember seeing a giveaway in a store like a decade ago where you could win a iPod nano touch and I stared at it for like 10 minutes it looked so cool
@@jaredf6205 so far, no one has done either something like this, or a hand-worn player with more memory and lossless formats. I bought myself one with a tiktok linatic metal baslet.
This was such an amazing product, and at such an amazing price too! I really loved having one of these as a kid, i always used to listen to the radio on it wherever i was. I miss Steve Jobs, and his Apple products...
Small, thin device. Surprising amount of functionality. Multiple colors that reflect personality. Customizable watch faces (including mickey mouse!). Multitouch. Wearable with the clip or with a strap on the wrist. 4 years later the whole industry goes nuts about very similar devices.
veoozo Trying to say this iPod nano is very similar to smartwatches which are suddenly a big hype. This device looks like those smartwatches both in terms of design and functionality.
When he said “I live most of my life upside down” I really felt that since he was gonna pass away one year after the iPod nano 6th gen is introduced 😢😢😢
This is how you do it Apple. After 5th and 6th Ipod Nano generation Steve going on track on what is Ipod Nano is supposed to be, small. Camera and other features is already in Iphone and people won't used Ipod for those reason, and Steve knew it.
As a kid I had a 6th gen iPod classic and I didn’t want to upgrade to the newer nanos because I liked the 1st gen nano the best and i liked my classic, but then I lost my iPod classic so then I got a iPod shuffle and i didn’t enjoy it as much as an iPod classic with the screen. But 6 years later in 2020 I bought a iPod nano 1st gen and I love it.
Shut up. He was an asshole and didn’t even do anything. He just shouted at his employees and coworkers who designed the things he than took for himself.
I think it's also sad that he bought into the cult of fruitarianism, wrecked his liver, and then wrecked his pancreas and second liver. Jobs was a true visionary, and it's sad that he decided to live a less-than-ideal lifestyle despite having the means for at least a more balanced vegan diet if cruelty-free was his thing. This was one of the founding fathers of the fourth industrial revolution, which turned the CPU from the brains of office equipment into something both practical and enjoyable for the layperson. While Steve Jobs is often derided as a form-over-function non-geek, it is form that leads to function, and Apple's designs have been thoroughly copied by an entire industry. They were simple-to-use, yet conducive to the complex as well. They were classy, but unpretentious. They were rebellious, but not unfamiliar. In my opinion, Silicon Valley is as much a culture industry as it is an electronics industry.
I absolutely LOVE this new nano, and considering the only thing that I use my iPods for (I also have an iPhone) for is music, so I think I will get one of these. Touch is the future, and I like it. If there was some way to include video playback in a simple firmware update, I think this thing would really take off, but for now...
if you ask me, this is a huge step forward. it has the usefulness of the older nano's, but the compact size of a shuffle. really, if you were in the market for an mp3 player with video playback, you wouldnt be buying a nano anyway. even on the 5g, the screen was too small and the battery seemed insufficient to watch a full movie. for on-the-go use, this is the perfect device. easy to use, small, affordable. -iPod collector
The best Nano ever! Well, from a gym perspective anyway. :) I had a Shuffle that I used at the gym for years and hated navigating through tunes and podcasts blindly. I was over the moon when Nano 6th gen arrived. I could finally see my music, controls and tracklists. Plus it had radio which my Shuffle obviously didnt. :) I have a 5th gen Nano in my car. Great device too! 7th gen nano is no good because it doesnt have a clip. Too small for watching video. Apple should have done away with the Shuffle and made the 6th gen Nano it's replacement. They could have kept the 5th gen nano form factor as the official Nano, gotten rid of the jog wheel, made it one big touch screen and kept the video camera. I'm sure Nano fans would have been happy with that.
Leon Schmid I owned one and I reckon it was a bit strange looking with all the unused space to the left and right of the click wheel. It really should have had the portrait display like the fourth gen one.
TechnoLadz Vlogs, Tech, Minecraft and More dude.....if there was his iPod nano still on the market, the iPod touch would cost much more.....because now the AirPods cost more than 200$...actually three is no room for a Nano...you idea is just wrong. Why should the iPod cost lower than the Airpods. You don’t think business ;-)
Just ordered one cheap with a white wristband and a matching plug for the connector. Soon ready to go running without my phone banging around in my pocket! ~ vintage Apple stuff ~
Huh, this has really held up over time. Sure it doesn't have as many features like pressure touch, video playback, etc. and it only has a max of 16 gigs storage. But it still does its job better than any other gen of iPod nano, purely because it's smaller. Not to mention you can wear it as a pseudo Apple Watch with 3rd party wristbands
everything you loved about the 5G nano was brought over this year to the iphone and ipod touch. the new design focuses on music lovers and fitness junkies and i think its about time we had an ipod for that group
Wow, that's almost unbelievable. I have one and I love it so much, so cool with the tiny touchscreen, so light and so wearable with that clip! Seriously. I think there was some serious losses from the 5th gen, but it became smaller, right? Now we have the 7th gen and it still has no camera, no speaker, no games, stupid round icons and it is too big to have a clip!
Apple should have turned this generation of the nano into the "Apple Watch". It seemed like it would have been perfectly made for a watch. I don't know why they discontinued this generation. They should have at least brought it back as the Apple Watch.
Poor Steve....back then he was so convinced that making things smaller and thinner was the way to go....totally WRONG decision. That is exactly the reason Samsung was so appealing to many with their larger screens and took full advantage of it. That tiny Nano with laughable features and specs was a joke.
This was the worst one. After the third gen they started going down hill imo. 3rd gen felt like a mini iPod classic which was what I think they were going for and I loved, 4th and 5th gen felt like toys. Then this crap, it's not what the nano was meant to be. The nano was supposed to be a smaller flash drive version of the iPod classic.
Everyone's talking about how this Nano was a predecessor to the Apple Watch, but this Nano also didn't have a home button! The swipe to go home feature predated the iPhone X by 7 years.
