iPod Nano Makes Rare Appearance in Apple Ad for Thinner iPad Pro

[sracer]

Recently revived my old classic with a dead hard drive with a 512gb sd card. It’s been nice!

Indeed! 👍
I have a 5th gen iPod Classic that I'll be doing a battery and SSD swap soon. Last autumn I refurbished my brown Zune 30 and Creative Zen Vision:M with new batteries and SSDs. Dead simple to do.

I quite disagree actually, hate camera bumps and if Apple counts the screen bump on the Nano it should count the camera bump on the Pro IMO

If Apple sold an iPad Pro without any rear cameras, or camera bump, at all, would you buy it?

 

[MrGimper]

Nah, I'd prefer it actually be possible to hold the thing, and I'll just charge it when I'm sleeping like a responsible adult.

You sound like you'd have trouble turning door handles.

All these weak-wristed people on MR

Is it actually good to be as thin as a tiny little pocketable iPod?

One could argue the iPP has become too thin for comfort and ergonomics .. and in proportion to its overall size

I find remarkable and sony eink devices to be easier to hold due to how light they are

Nice personal attack, but in truth the lighter the iPad is the more utility it has. A heavy one is not something anyone with any level of wrist strength is going to hold for any period of time.

"I'd prefer it actually be possible to hold the thing" .... just reacting to your comment.

iPadOS can do just as much as the iPod nano as well!

Not true! On the iPod nano you can also track your steps and listen to the radio .

I'm still pissed about the pencils not being cross compatible.

Same, but I think it's understandable. They probably moved the relative positioning of the charging coils and magnets to accommodate the landscape camera.

This is a much more joyful ad than that horrendous industrial press destroying musical instruments etc..

I love that commercial.

 

[Azeroth1]

I honestly don’t understand their obsession with making super thin products even more super thin.

I can appreciate the engineering of it all, but as a consumer I could care less.

 

[AF_APPLETALK]

This commercial triumphs over that crushing one lol

 

[sracer]

I was suggesting the current camera was overkill for document scanning. The focal length also is not ideal for document scanning. Cases do tend to solve the problem of the bump, I agree.

I believe that the existence of the camera bump is the primary reason why Apple no longer makes smartcovers for iPads anymore. Folio cases (with sufficient thickness to match the bump help mask the bump).

It’s like measuring your neck and saying hey, I’m thin. Don’t look at my fat ass. 😂

I know you are joking, but I still use my 2015 nano to listen to the radio. I sometimes go to football and rugby games by myself, and the nano is good for listening to the radio coverage during halftime and after the game without having to worry that the network can handle everyone using their phones.

I love that commercial.

As I said, there’s no accounting for taste. It was such a terrible ad that it got pulled and Apple sent out an apology. Lol. But no, you’re correct!

In all honesty no, since I am no longer interested in iPad Pro as I found iPadOS too restrictive. That said I really dislike the bump on my 2018 12.9”

Are we certain this is a real Apple ad? I can’t find it on any of their pages anywhere. But that’s awesome if true. I love their old ads
