Apple Officially Obsoletes Last iPod Nano Model

iPods were awesome, just music and a bit of other media and nothing else. No calls/texts interrupting your music, just the pure experience.

I *really* wish they would at least fix the issue of podcasts having no artwork and getting shuffled in with Artists before completely abandoning the iPod. I'd love to use mine with podcasts but this makes it really difficult.

AirPods should work with any Bluetooth device, I believe. I've connected them to my Kindle before.
It always just amazes me how long Apple products last without having issues. Some of the original nano’s are even still fully operational, I think that’s just a testament to Apples build quality with the hardware standards over the years. If you manage the battery properly, the products still operate without issue.
And people that don’t use Apple products wonder why we pay more money for products with “worse specs”.
God speed little guy. I miss ipods. I think most people will agree that the iPhone was certainly a more impactful and impressive product, but the iPod brought me more joy at its time.

Vintage Apple products 🙁
I would love to have a 1st generation and 7th generation iPod. I check eBay and FB Marketplace several times a week hoping to find a steal. But, it is usually like new and way out of my range, or in my range with a stainless back that looks like it has been sandpapered. My first iPod was a 3rd Gen 10GB—wish I would have kept it.

I still have a blue nano around somewhere. They were small enough to lose almost anywhere. Perhaps it's between the sofa cushions

I guess that's because Apple rarely bothers to update the Mac Pro in the first place. Might be different if they were updated as often as other Macs

Death of a legend.
I'm hoping they update the iPod touch at least.

Those things are awesome. Not worth ruining one still in the box - that might be a collectors item by now, but those Minis are really easy to mod to have a ton of space. You can get a high capacity CF card and put it right in, or you can get a CF to SD adapter and put in a large SD card. I know I've seen ones with 256GB, perhaps you can go even bigger. One of the benefits of the Mini is that is had a Wolfson DAC, which many folks thing sounds better than the DACs used in later iPods.
There's really nothing like that today.

Yep, my first Apple device was a 6GB iPod Mini in silver. It still sits on my desk as an heirloom piece. Good times indeed!

más opposed to ... Sony’s Microsoft’s or other MP3 player UI’s??

I would really love a new iPod classic with 2TB SSD storage. They don't need to change anything other than adding SSD storage, USB-C or lightning (or both!), bluetooth and wifi (for wireless syncing/headphones but keep the headphone jack). Otherwise the same old interface is perfect. I would buy that immediately.
