Maybe AI could make us a new Nano?
Love my set of them. They are essential for my gym workouts.
I'd love to have new ones though.
(I know, I know -- we are never getting them 😞)
Gotta commend Apple that all of these old iPods still work. Great little players.
I love the iPod, - it was the device that introduced me to the world of Apple, the so-called 'halo effect' - and I still have two (fully functional and perfectly working) iPod classics that (still) travel abroad - indeed, travel the world - with me, and which I use regularly (they are just brilliant on long journeys).
The iPod nano was an amazing device, (gadget), beautiful, functional and exceptionally portable.
Terrific thread.

Interesting. My hesitation is the future when the battery craps out. I hear those are basicslly no replacement option unlike the mini or classic iPods.
I was an iPod fan own each one but stop in 2007 when the iPhone came out.
I currently have a modded mini, 7th gen classic, 7th gen modded with moonlit market Bluetooth and haptic.
Although difficult, battery replacement is not impossible. iFixit has other component replacement guides as well as a general teardown guide. Refurbished units are also available.
Wow that’s great I did t know batteries can be replaced! Interesting how does it work with AirPods?
Last I heard, the 7th gen does *not* work with AirPods Pro 2, but other AirPods models are ok. You should do some investigation before parting with your money if Airpods are important to you. I don't own AirPods of any kind, but the Nano pairs and plays fine with my Bose QC45s and Anker Soundcore P20i bluetooth earbuds.
I actually will have the experience of "trying" to replace the battery this weekend. I bought a "never opened" iPod nano 7th generation last week to find that the battery wasn't working.
Update: I watched so many videos on how to replace the battery. I felt extremely confident only to just simply destroy my display and home button. Taking the display off seem SO simple in every video

also, fwiw, i think when someone makes a video, they likely use a device they've already repaired/opened before. typically that makes every step and clip give just a bit easier.
sorry to hear it.
Removing the display panel. It looked like the battery may have leaked at some point and caused the lcd to separate. Everything was corroded. I should’ve taken a pic but disposed of it quickly yesterday at work.curious, which step went wrong?

I think you're right about previously worked on iPod nanos. I called the few repair shops in my area and they all refused to change the battery. Saying they didn't want to be liable for damages. I've got to laugh at how telling those statements were lol oh well lesson learned. I will stick with iPod classic mods.curious, which step went wrong?
