iPod 7th Gen iPod nano is amazing!

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.

I purchased the first gen iPod (Classic) as soon as it was announced. I've owned the third, fourth mono, fourth color, and fifth generations, the iPod Mini, and the first gen shuffle. It's taken me until this past week to acquire the 7th Gen iPod Nano.

I am blown away by this minuscule device. I've loaded nearly 1,800 256kbps songs onto it. The user interface is a JOY to use. The UI is smooth and seems less "intuitive" than it feels like it's anticipating my thoughts. It even has the top-tap to scroll back to the top of the list. It has Bluetooth that works with my AirPods, my car, and other speakers. It has a built in radio that uses your headphones as an antenna - I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Some HD radio stations even have some ability to display the song AND you can bookmark that song to reference later. This device has brought more "wow!"s and smiles to my face than any device in recent memory.

When people complain about Apple unnecessarily making hardware too thin, I can hold this crazy-tiny thing in my hand and I'm just blown away by how cool it is. Personally, I prefer hardware that feels like magic over something that has a battery large enough to last a week. I've missed the feeling this iPod has brought me.

I can't hate on how powerful and profound phones have become today. It's effing amazing that one device can play music, take pictures, stream movies, enable all the world's communication platforms, can allow you to conduct critical business or topple governments while FaceTiming with your SO. But using a more simplified and intentional device like an iPod is something I hope everyone has the opportunity to appreciate. Productivity, or over-productivity, seems less apt to offer the joy of well designed futuristic feeling gadget.

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.

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.

Yah what I figure given its older Bluetooth tech. Glad it’s working for you.
