This one and the iPod Nano 6th gen are some of my favorite iPods. They’re also some of the most obscure and different ones of all the iPods, but I think that’s why I love them.
Had one for 7 years now and recently got a product red because mine was starting to die on me. Fenominal device. I love that i dont need to waste my phones battery to listem to my music collection.
I know this is almost a year late but they actually did do a refresh of the iPod nano, shuffle, and touch all in 2015. Mainly being new color ways to match apples design from that time period. I think he’s just referring the specific one that he has which IS from 2015.
I still use mine to this day. Though it doesn’t do some simple things that other iPods did (like browse through an an album or an entire artist library through the song menu), it might be the best iPod Apple ever did.
@@zacharystainesnever had one but I'd be down to get one if they released a new model. Thing is compact and practical, I don't need a big phone since I don't play on it (PC gamers rise up)
@@Chronoxile I have an iPod classic 5th gen which I still use on long rides. I play some games on my phone, so when it runs out of battery, I boot up RockBox on the iPod and play some Gameboy games.
I loved my seventh-gen iPod Nano, and I was so sad when I lost it in June 2022. :( The seventh-gen Nano is such a sleek, focused, convenient device. I also had a sixth-gen iPod Nano, which I wore as a watch and was honestly one of the best things I ever bought. Sadly, these Nanos often have their on-off buttons wear out.
Trust me... The same thing I had.. I was like 10 or 11 years old.. and didn't knew it was apple product.. father just game me on birthday... Now I got to know I had such a legendary thing
Also in 2015 flash was still somewhat expensive (I think max you could get was 64gb on most phones) so it made sense to have a device with less storage that would be dedicated to music and podcasts and your phone dedicated to only your favorites, apps, and photos
I don't know that it is any more forgotten than the rest of the iPod lineup. The iPod itself is just obsolete now for more people than it isn't. These were still super popular during my college years.
Still have mine and use it all the time. When I needed a battery replacement, I took it to the Apple Store and all the staff were so excited to see it!
I still use mine all the time at the gym, well when I go anyway. I don't like having my bulky phone on me but I certainly don't record myself working out. It's just the right size to allow me to listen to my music
I bought this iPod a few years ago and it’s pretty cool it’s actually pretty nice to have in my pocket while working out and it’s the only iPod that support’s Bluetooth too so I don’t have to worry about wired headphones
I had one and loved it, the only thing that I prefer about a real big boy smartphone is that I can stream music. I don’t need to make phone calls or google things!
Also people have Itunes where they bought ALOT of songs that don’t really work for Apple Music now! Haha people wouldn’t understand because it’s another Apple scheme more money lowkeyyyyy😅
I bought myself a 2nd hand one of these off of eBay, it was a lot cheaper than a new one but came with the box, earbuds and everything. The only issue? The screen had a few lines of dead pixels. Other than that? It was a solid 16GB nano. I’ve been more than happy using it. Edit: Misremembered storage
This was also like my 4th iPod. I remember the first generation of iPod came out when I was in college. My favorite design though is the one with the camera built in
I loved mine, I had a prepaid android that was kinda crummy at the time. These were reasonably priced and easy to carry around, especially to the gym. I still like to use it on flights so I can save a little battery power on my iPhone.
i still have the one I bought back in 2012 and I was coming from the iPod Nano 6th gen which was a tiny square that clipped onto clothing. The 6th Gen had button issues over time due to Apple just using a cheap tape to keep them in place. The 7th Gen was a far better device and made navigating playlists much easier as well as having a lot more batter life (I got more than it was rated for). As of right now the Nano still holds a decent charge and gets use as a music device for the gym or at my desk when I don't want to run down my phone's battery playing music. The Nano also has a headphone jack which can come in handy.
I always found it cool how this was the only (I think) apple product with a home button that didn’t have a ‘squircle’ symbol, but rather a circle to match the circular app icons. This, of course, ignoring the touch-ID home buttons
I’d still buy iPods nowadays. I hate taking my heavy bulky phone when I’m doing any sport. That’s why I still use my 2 iPod shuffle’s on gym, longboarding and cycling. I don’t want the distraction of a phone.

My 2015 car has a specific USB port that integrates with iPods, which I kinda forgot about. That port is way mote useful than the HDMI port it came with thats audio only for some inexplicable reason.
I still have mine, although I don’t use it anymore. Back in 2015/2016, I found it helpful for when my phone would die (which it did all the time) so I was more than happy to have a back up music player always ready in my car.
I was the first one in my school to have a iPod. I remember I use to rip all my cds and put them in my iPod. Those were good times. This brings back memories and I will miss the iPod.
I had one of these. I bought it because it was more comfortable to carry around when i went for a walk compared to an iphone.

I bought it in january of 2013, but just one year later i started to listen to music via streaming, so there was no sense in having an ipod anymore, but it was cool anyway.
It also made sense for kids, and yes, I know I know you could just give a kid an iPhone and not put service on it but the iPods were smaller and were cheaper so they were just better for kids to have, now thats the touch, as for the Nano and the shuffle, some people would like to just able to go somewhere and listen to music without bringing their giant iPhone
If I could force Apple to do one thing it would be to double down on MagSafe accessories. I’ve thought of half a dozen or more creative and functional ways it could be utilized but currently isn’t. I’ve had to DIY half the MagSafe products I own because the market is just so underserved that nobody has invented them yet. Third party companies are making some slightly interesting/unique MagSafe-compatible products but they’ve barely scratched the surface on their potential.
I had this iPod as a kid back in 2015 and it was my favourite thing in the world because I always wondered how they fit so much tech and features into something as small as the iPod Nano and it never fails to amaze me and bring back memories each time I boot it up
I remember when this came out thinking it was so high tech with the touch screen compared to the previous models. Still wouldn't mind one actually for exercising
@@zacharystainesNot an update though because the 7th gen was released in 2012, making it from 2012 not 2015. Doesn’t matter if a new colour got added, does that mean the iPhone 13 was released in 2022 instead of 2021 because it got a green colour update?
I grew up with a 4th Gen iPod nano (which I still have!) but I always lusted after this and the 6th gen. I'd absolutely lose my mind whenever I got to play with them at a store display, and absolutely BEGGED my grandparents for one. Honestly, if they let me copy songs from Apple Music to one of these, I would be willing to pay $300+ to have a separate device with all my music saved locally, not taking up storage or battery on my phone.
