    Apple should really do a 25th anniversary edition iPod with a scroll wheel, modernized battery, and modernized storage.

    Do some nice nostalgia marketing for the zoomers and people that had one back in the day and it would sell like hotcakes.

      That would at the very least have to have Bluetooth (and at that point they might as well add wifi, since that is more or less the same modem).

      That would make a damn nice 149$ apple music machine, slap some stripped down firmware on it, so they can argue why it only supports apple music streaming.

        That price may be wishful thinking. Aren’t even their base ear buds $130?

    The iPod nano 3rd generation holds a special place in my heart, i was about 14 when my mom bought me one as a birthday gift and i still cherish it till today where I charge it maybe once a year and listen to my (very curated) metal catalogue from back in the day... it was the only ipod i ever had or needed

    It obviously can't hold a charge anymore and every time i reach for it i'm praying it still works

    Congratulations on figuring out the NAND upgrade! I tried soldering another flash chip onto the Nano 1G, but gave up when it didn’t detect:
