History of the iPod nano

Now before we get in to all the different models of the iPod Nano, let’s first talk about the circumstances surrounding its release. The iPod nano was a replacement for the iPod mini, and this move was very risky at the time since the newest model of iPod Mini was released just eight months before and was selling very well. Actually, I remember seeing these colorful iPods everywhere at school and in public since the iPod mini was the best-selling model up to that point. But Steve Jobs knew Apple had to replace the iPod mini with something even better since other manufacturers were beginning to catch up with its design and features.

So in September 2005 that’s exactly what Apple did. Jobs took the stage and unveiled the original iPod Nano in the most spectacular way possible.

The nano was almost half the thickness of the iPod mini and introduced all kinds of new features like flash storage, which meant there were no moving parts, making the device even more durable and compact. This alone was a huge benefit since the iPod Nano was a portable device and would likely be dropped from time to time.
