Gallery: Apple’s 7th-generation iPod Nano grows up, gets colorful

In the past decade iPods have come a long way in terms of design, and the latest model Apple revealed today certainly continues the trend.

In terms of looks – it’ll resemble something like the lovechild of a Nokia Lumia and an older iPod Nano. 

It’s got a bigger, 2.5 inch diagonal multitouch display — the biggest display ever on the Nano — and a physical home button much like the iPhone. It will come in seven different colors, and will feature an integrated FM tuner, so you can listen to the radio wherever you go.

Other built-in features include Bluetooth connectivity, and a pedometer for those who like using their Nano for fitness.

Altogether, its the thinnest, lightest, and fastest iPod yet.

How did the iPod Touch hang on for this long?
iPod Touch

Like the BlackBerry, I thought that the iPod Touch died over a decade ago. The iPhone had cast such a large shadow over its little cousin after its introduction in 2007 that it might have killed it because it didn't want to share the spotlight with a device that didn't have the ability to make phone calls. My older brother was the last person I saw using the iPod Touch. When we were teenagers, he was envious of me carrying the iPod Classic, and always begged me to let him borrow it for whatever reason he may have had. So to avoid pissing me off even further, he got the iPod Touch, which was not only better than the click wheel iPod I had, but it was a cheaper option than the iPhone my parents (mostly my stepfather) couldn't bring themselves to trust him with in high school because he had lost other phones whether it was his fault or not. I can't remember if he bought the iPod Touch himself or got it as a Christmas present, but he lost it one day while visiting a hotel with my stepdad.

Today, my brother is happy with his iPhone 11, his second mobile Apple device after the iPhone 7. There are times when I have wondered if he ever missed holding the first touchscreen device he ever had -- especially on Tuesday, when Apple announced it had discontinued the iPod Touch, effectively ending the iPod line. You can still get your hands on the iPod Touch while supplies last, though it might get sold out by the time this article gets published.
