Apple iPod Nano 1st Generation Review and Features

The iPod Nano (stylised and marketed as iPod nano) is a discontinued portable media player designed and formerly marketed by Apple Inc.

The first generation model was introduced on September 7, 2005, as a replacement for the iPod Mini, using flash memory for storage. After its introduction, iPod Nano went through several differing models or generations. Apple discontinued the iPod Nano on July 27, 2017.

On September 7, 2005, Apple introduced the iPod Nano at a media event, with Steve Jobs pointing to the small watch pocket in his jeans and asking, “Ever wonder what this pocket is for?”

Advertising emphasized the iPod Nano’s small size: 40 millimetres (1.6 in) wide, 90 millimetres (3.5 in) long, 6.9 millimetres (0.27 in) thick and weighing 42 grams (1.5 oz). The stated battery life was up to 14 hours, while the screen was 176×132 pixels, 38 millimetres (1.5 in) diagonal, displaying 65,536 colours (16-bit colour).

1, 2, and 4 GB capacities were available. On November 11, 2011, Apple announced a recall of this iPod nano model due to a battery overheating issue. This recall applied to iPod Nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006.
