This is a sealed in-box, never-opened first generation iPod nano-a device that I consider one of Apple’s most important products ever-and it’s one with a fascinating history. But before we get to this, we gotta rewind a bit because there's a lot of history from Apple's near-bankruptcy in the 90s to where they are today. - Věda a technologie

we love to see it!
The man himself
NaNo!

15:47 - Stand back everyone - Quinn's arming the nugget.
Na no
*nano*
Eyes up!
OOOOH IT HAS THE BLACK SPOT
Nah it has been wiped
I love how DankPods is that one crazy guy that keeps slowly popping up everywhere eventually
Ayyy
Ohhhh my pkcell
Frank has been out late with the boys.
yesss i instantly thought of him when i saw this
Arming the nugget!
Steve Jobs really knew how to present a product. Taking the Macbook Air out of an envelope, iPod nano out of his watch pocket, passing a laptop through a hula hoop to show that it's wireless, etc... I remembered thinking Apple was so revolutionary, it was literally bringing sci-fi into reality. I miss him.
I just learned that is a watch pocket!
Yep. Not it’s just ‘we prepared a video’.
He didn’t know how to take care of his kids tho
You miss someone you never met that was a sleezy scumbag? Pretty sure he wouldn’t of liked you at all
@@megami215 You’re the scumbag here. Move on and take your anger somewhere else lmao
Back in those days, every time Apple had a keynote, I was totally glued. Steve Jobs was so good at selling their products, I just wanted to own all of them. They've gotten a little too slick and shiny nowadays. Steve had a way of speaking to the audience like he was showing off a new toy.
It was his pure passion for what he does coming through. I was the same I loved the way he presented things and showed off new products
Totally agree. The keynotes are way too sanitized now. The Jobs keynotes were, like you said, a geek showing off this cool new thing to the type of geek who is nerdy enough to actually tune in to a presentation about it. I think another part of it was that the Jobs era happened at a time when computing was progressing by absolute leaps and bounds, so there was an energy to it that just isn't the same anymore. In the late 90s we all basically had big clunky desktops (either Mac or PC) that couldn't do a whole lot and a very new internet that had a lot of potential but hadn't been around long enough yet. Just ten years later we got usable laptops that didn't weigh a ton, really fast desktop chips, graphics processors, amazing portable devices (ipods, iphones, etc.) and the internet was really hitting its stride. Nowadays everyone has a supercomputer in their pocket, and their expectations are commensurate with that, but back then I think we were all just amazed at what was becoming possible.
He does give off some vibes.
Steve Jobs' charisma played indeed a huge role. This was also a time when new revolutionary products were being introduced. The release of Apple Silicon Macs is the only new exciting thing at Apple I've seen in years.
It was a different time for sure. But sometimes I wonder if they have changed or if i I’m just getting old. The sad reality is that nothing will ever be as good as it was.
In true DankPod lore we call this a “na-no”
na-no
na-no
I will never get over how fantastic your videos are Quinn. Well-researched, beautifully produced, and just so fun and entertaining!
Thanks so much!
@@snazzy That’s what she said!
Agreed!
Get a grip he reviews tech
@@nam3go3sh3r3 And what are your accomplishments might I ask…
I don’t see you providing free and entertaining content…
So happy to know that Quinn watches Dankpods! Maybe when things open up there could be a collaboration to review some nuggets? Just a thought!
na no
YEAH MATEEEEEE
The fact that 1 lossless album can be over a GB shows just how far we have come in 15 years wow
The SACD 5.1ch version of Pink Floyd’s Time is 1/2gb alone, I could put that song on the original nano twice (it wouldn’t play though because it’s a wav, and even then it’s so high bitrate that even my iPhone 6s struggled with it)
Let it sit on the standard adapter for a couple hours. The battery MIGHT reform itself.
Second option is to use the macbbook for a couple hours. Put the ipod on top of something cold (maybe from the freezer) for a couple hours. Put it in a safe area in case of fire. Last option is a new battery.
Flashback podcast is really influencing new Snazzy videos and I’m loving it
Hey, that's a good podcast!
Every time I hear the word nano, I hear DankPods saying it
na-no
na-no
na-no
Just watched this, ran to the next room, opened my "old stuff that I don't use anymore but I might use again one day... maybe" drawer, toke my nano out, plugged it to the computer, installed itunes, waited on it to update stuff and things, and it still works, after all these years. I love this little bugger!
tell me, does it have a black spot in the middle of the screen, because if it does that means the battery has expanded and i wouldn't plug it into a charger for risk of fire.
@@easysneezy No black spot. It's working and charging fine, though I haven't tested how long the charge lasts.
That introduction of the ipod history was so amazing. 9:05 Steve Jobs is such a genius 💗
Plugging it into the old 5W wall brick was some old head shit and I 100% support it
I've been loving these retro reviews, keep it up!
Incredibly hacky, not-at-all recommended fix for the USB power issue: splice the cable
Feed it steady 5V1A from the wall brick but leave the data lines in tact and plug that other, more different USB directly into the computer
Another thing to consider is, connect it to the mac via an unpowered USB hub. That might limit the power it delivers to 5W.
Remember, the iPhone 11 came with a 5w wall brick. Ain’t so old school lol
Some isheep still fckn use that brick...
I'm loving these looks at older apple products please keep them coming!
12:10 Oh man, this takes me back… It’s January 2007, and I had just turned 13. I took my birthday money and was so excited to buy an iPod (Nano, 2nd gen). One small problem… Only dial-up internet was available where we lived, and Apple had stopped including an iTunes CD with the second gen. I wired my laptop into the phone jack late that night and initiated the iTunes download. ALL NIGHT. That is how long it took to download. ALL. NIGHT. Real time, it was probably 5-7 hours for what was a 45 MB file, if I remember correctly. Fortunately the connection didn’t time out, but you talk about serious anxiety waiting for iTunes to finish downloading just so I could sync like three CD’s worth of music. My goodness…
This comment just reminded me that download managers used to be a thing that let you pause them if you lost connection!
Oh man, I can remember setting a few songs or an album to download over night too.
I have iphone as most of us do, and I still cought myself thinking - I would go to GYM with ipod nano :)
Until their battery’s explode
Ur better off using an iPod video with an iflash micro sdcard converter
Get a 3rd gen nano they don’t have the battery problem as the rest of the nanos
Never let anyone one else judge what you use.
I saw an old guy at the Y with a large handheld cassette tape player walking the track, while I stream music from space with my watch and beam it into my head with Bluetooth.
Man after more than a decade, seeing you come back after you left and with better content and production than ever before, I still love watching your channel. Thanks for staying snazzy.
As an owner of the iPod mini at that time I was absolutely green with envy when everyone else was getting the nano while I was stuck with a mini. I loved it nonetheless until its last day after a good two years plus of use. The nano was just so cool with its insanely small design for what was then a pretty decent capacity.
I worked at the Apple store from 2004 - 2013 which is what I would say are the most interesting Apple years.
I would have never thought back then that opening a brand new nano would have commanded such attention. I must have opened hundreds of these with all the store openings I did.
I had this in late 2005, it was a crazy upgrade from the iPod mini when it was announced. So cool and unexpected especially as iPod mini was a big seller at the time.
Really love these vintage unboxing videos dude, keep 'em coming! Awesome!
ah the nostalgia, it was my first ever Apple product as well, I loved this thing and took it everywhere, but mostly in my pocket together with a key and dust, hence why it looked very scratched up in the end, it still worked tho. BUT many years after they came out with the Video-Nano I got an email from apple for a replacement program stating that the batteries in these old Nanos are known to explode and cause severe damage. So I send them the old scratched one (I wasnt using anyways since they just had the iPhone 3G rolled out) and got a brand new shiny Video-Nano that I then gifted to my mom. thanks for bringing back memories with these videos.
Had one of these, absolutely loved it - was passed onto my sister and got used for years. This really was an incredible product and my teenage years wouldn't have been the same without it.
Same! I still have my 4 gb nano. I'm feeling the nostalgia wave after seeing this video
These retro reviews are definitely my favorite. Great video!!
I have an iPod nano fifth generation, and it still works! Mine was it 8 GB model. I love it!
It was back in 2009 when I got it! My first ever Apple product I’ve ever owned in my life.
I absolutely loved my nano back in the day. Never left without it. The collector in me felt weird watching you unbox such a relic but I bet it felt amazing to get that puppy open.
The video iPod was the game changer. Before that I wasn't interested in iPods etc, but then that device came out and it was a game changer. It worked as a video/music player, and also as an external drive with my iBook. Both my iBook and iPod had a 60gb drive, so that was the perfect setup for college for me. I've still got the iPod and it works fine, solid build! Great videos btw!
Please continue this video format! Absolutely loving it!
It’s pretty unbelievable that the Nano looks so sleek even today. I remember working one of my first jobs when this came out. All the teens wanted one. I still have mine and love it.
I have one, it was recently passed to by my aunt, after my uncle passed of cancer in 2009. It still has all his music on it, I will not be deleting his music or adding any of my own. Just happy to have it an remember him by.
Honestly I feel like I was lucky to grow up with iPods before smartphones and even the iPod touch took over its place. I had the fat nano because I was a bit too young for the model in this video, and my parents had the standard iPods, what most consider the classic iPods. One of my personal favorite devices growing up and introduced me to Audiobooks.
iPod Mini
Love these old/new unboxing videos
Watching this gave me so much nostalgia. My first apple product was a gen 2 nano and I loved that thing so much. The iPod nano is the reason I’m a iOS dev today. Loved the video and trip down memory lane.
Still rocking my iPod Classic 5th gen. Love it. Zero distractions while listening to music.
These time capsule videos are great! Keep up the good work Snazzy!
I remember back in high school when the iPad Nano first dropped and SO many kids got them as gifts for birthdays/Christmas. When my friend showed his to me, I recall being completely blown away by the technology. I was totally captivated by it's small size, that it had a color screen, and that it could hold so much music. It was the music player of music players, and anyone who was anyone had one.
I got Creative MuVo 1GB in 2005 - comparable small, cheaper, removable classic AAA battery, classic USB, works like flash drive, no stupid itunes and it still works today !
This was an enjoyable and fun retro video. Picked-up my first iPod model a used classic 5th generation in 2014, because my new automobile had a special port for iPods. Mine also came with the original box, 30-pin charging cable, set-up guide, and CD-ROM. In addition, I picked-up two Apple iPod charging stands (keep one at home and the other in the office) with their matching white remote controls. Daily, I still use my iPod a home, in the car, and at the office (smile...smile).
Ahhhh the memories. I loved my first gen nano, black one just like the one you have here. Although, in 2011 there was recall on nanos that were produced between 2005 and 2006 and mine fell into that list. I found out about the recall somewhere around 2015 and they still replaced it with a 6th gen nano. I definitely miss the 1st gen though. Thanks for the memories.
i got one of these at launch and absolutely loved it! Couldn't believe how small and light it was.
Really love these videos revisiting older tech
Im watching this back to back with the DankPods video of the same subject, and is so much fun the difference in style!
This was my first ipod back in the day, still remember how much I loved it
I LOVE that dankpods is getting recognition on youtube. Warms my heart
Never stop doing these videos! they are very entertaining in the time of the Tech Draught!
It just hit me that the famous “that other button seems to work as well” is no more. It was all foreshadowing.
I found one of these 12 years ago in a snow bank while on a walk. Dried it out and used it for years in my car. This brings back memories :)
Same here 1st gen nano was my first apple product.
Mine too!!! Brings back so many fond memories.
I still miss my ipod. It was amazing when they came out. Had a couple of the larger Classics.
I had a 4gb version of this and loved it, I then kicked myself for sending it back under the apple battery replacement scheme only to get a 5th gen nano as a replacement. Fast forward about a decade and good old ebay had one going for £6 with a knackered battery. Replaced the battery and enjoyed the device again, yes it lacks the additions that modern smart phones have but that's part of the elegance, its about listening to the music :) great video as always. Cheers
Similar situation here but I had gotten a 2 GB white first gen nano from some e-waste bin.
Sent in and got an awful 6th gen that loved to crash and lag and freeze, ans compared to a fifth gen I had at the time, I was awful.
Them I found a perfectly fine 4 GB white first gen that even had no engraving and a good battery for $25 and I snapped it up asap. Works amazingly well, but I'm really wishing I had the radio adapter.
A white 4GB one was the first I ever got, prior to that I had a certified nugget and a discman, good times. Long after that nano was irrelevant the battery recall happened and I brought mine in to an authorized store, got an 8GB 6th gen in its place. Sadly, the power button on that stopped working, but the iPod was more of a novelty as I used a smartphone as a media player by then.
No one asked
I loved my iPod Nano. I remember riding the bus to elementary school as a kid listening to music. Brings me back lol
Brings back many memories. I remember my friend in HS letting me borrow his iPod Video. That thing was so cool
Wow. I love your style. These are so much fun to watch. It is also great to hear you on Flashback.
I still have my iPod 3rd gen fat Nano, I got it one Christmas, it was all I asked for and wanted it for ages, to use in my car with my fancy stereo, and it still works today flawlessly although I don’t use it, had many an iPhone since then for music duties.
The timing on this is crazy! I almost bought the exact same thing (though I was between an iPod Mini and iPod classic!). Must be iPod season coz I was needing some nostalgia!
Update - I've purchased a refurbished Classic - hope it works out!!!
iPod nano was my first Apple product i ever had, never even heard about Apple at that point, in my country most kids still used CD players lol so when i would bring iPod nano to school and show to kids it was like magic to them, like something from a different planet lol
Thanks for opening that fossil up for us. It must have been worth a lot in it's original packaging, and it was really cool to see. I really do hope you get it working soon, and I hope you make a video of that.
Unboxing my nano in the backseat of the car on the way home from the apple store is one of my few core memories. I unfortunently only had the songs that my dad had on CDs, so I used it mostly to play the "Brick" game for hours. Such an inflential device
My dad bought one of these in 2006, still have the box with everything in it, the iTunes disk and the sleeve are still unused, and the iPod itself still works and still has pretty decent battery life
Get to it and replace the battery before it gets to expand and push the display out
I remember getting my first iPod, it was a green mini and I was in 8th grade. Was so stoked, one of the first songs I remember buying was that lime in the coconut song. Good times man
Early adopter here...bought the first gen iPod (two, actually) along with an ice iBook G3 and went hat in hand to my friends borrowing CDs to rip....then just loved the opening of the iTunes Store....we take it for granted now but for a music lover and prolific buyer of Vinyl....8-tracks....cassettes and finally CDs (by the hundreds)...iPod, iTunes and the iTunes stores was like a miracle had happened....good times.....
i still have my ipod nano i love it as much as i did when i got it for Christmas..i use it for when i go to the gym.
YES! Snazzy knows my new favorite channel! Dank pods best channel 2021!
Thank you for this journey down memory lane sir. I had so many iPods I can't count them. But I enjoyed them all for one reason or another. (:
This brings back. This was my first apple product too. What a enjoyable video. I geeked out so much watching this. So much nostalgia.
I got one of these for a birthday present when I was 8 or 9, and I absolutely loved it
Had one of these! Was my second iPod after a 3rd gen 20gb.. now that one came with everything! Case, dock, wired remote, cloth.. a whole heap of stuff. It’s why I bought it over the 10gb one. My all time favorite iPod was the 3rd gen nano.. the stubby one that played video. That thing was awesome! Had it full of tv shows and movies.
I got one today and I wanna ask whether it's normal that it's kinda little bulgy at the center (the selection/center button doesn't click as deep as the otherbuttons on the wheel)
i’ve waited for this one for so long
I love the detail and research you do on this man. Kudos to you, take my like.
Great video! Very nostalgic! And shoutout @dankpods! Glad you mentioned him he’s amazing!
Ah, mid-2000's Apple, those were the days. So much nostalgia watching this. The 1 GB iPod Nano--in white--was my first iPod (I was 19 at the time).
9:58 YESSSSSSS I'm so glad my favorite CZcamsrs know each other!
My first iPod was the iPod shuffle. What a beautiful device.
Amazing! The first-gen 1GB Nano was my first Apple product as well! Very strong nostalgia here.
Bought one when I was in high school. 2005 with my first pay check from my first high school job. My first iPod, 2G Black for $266.43 CAD. Went in for a iPod shuffle or mini not realizing the nano had come out. Was so impressed how tiny it was at the time lol. It was part of a recall a few years later and got it replace through Apples replacement program with a 6th Gen
dope for showing love for dank pods
watching this video about ipods took me back to 2002-2004 times... times when life was easy
19:43... The smoothest "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID" I've ever heard. Well played, boy!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I had purchased the 4GB white model from Circuit City shortly after launch. Played Brick during study hall many times.
Circuit City! A definite throwback. 😉
For me, I also have the iPod classic that was released around 2005. It is chunky but works smoothly and still no scratches or dents. Then the iPod nano with a camera that I also have doesn't hold any battery charge anymore so it was placed only on the dock to make it still useful. Great video and research btw. Wish Apple will still release iPods with click wheels.
So glad it turned out to be genuine, for you and us.
I am not referring specifically to this video but I have been liking very much where u've been taking your channel for the last 2 years(narratively, script-wise, etc) congrats on the mil
I remember getting the iPod nano as my first ever iPod and boy do I have some fond memories with it. I still have it though it ended up getting tossed in a storage bin an absolutely wrecked. I do plan on refurbishing it with all new parts top to bottom back to front
For me the iPod Nano 6th gen will always be the breakthrough. The way SJ presented it, was epitome of product presentations.
It even paved the way for apple watch!
the ipod nano was great, it was my first apple device and it was such a precious thing
Me and my Dad both got iPod nano's for Christmas. We ordered them off eBay and apparently had no idea there were 2 different models. The first was the model you have here, and the second was the next years model that was aluminum all the way around, which was the one I wanted. I remember being disappointed because I had never even seen the one with the metal back before, so my Dad traded with me. I was probably just being an ungrateful shit, but I would do the exact same thing for my son today. We're the same age Quinn, so I share your exact affinity for this device. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Love the video! Awesome research and presentation. Quality video as always!!
“…that other button doesn’t work” 😂
Appreciate the script writing on your videos!
I remember getting one of these for Christmas from Mom and Dad with a personalized engraved message on the back panel.
I won one of these back in the day. And then got sent two. And I absolutely loved it. Triple win :)
I remember getting that model. My biggest gripe was that it scratched up very easily. The integrated lanyard & headphones were great for that. Used to use it at the gym all the time. Back in those days, almost no one had an iPod or any apple product.
My first iPod was a used white 1st gen Nano. Still by far the best Apple product I ever owned.
this reminded me I need to dig out my old iPod classic and get around to ssd and battery modding it
Your video inspired me to find my 3rd Gen iPod Nano to see if it still works and sure enough it does! I plugged it into a power bank and it immediately came to life. I haven't used it in several years and I had forgotten how much fun it is to use. Thanks for the memory trip!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! Fat nano is the best nano.
Was stoked to see dankpods mentioned :D
Because of this video, I just plugged my 2nd Gen iPod nano (8GB) into my laptop. Everything works and the list of songs are still there. Funnily, the last time the songs were played was 9/17/2012. LOL
I recently refreshed all my old iPhones -- 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, 5C, 6, and 6S. I traded my other ones in towards the new 14" MBP.
I have the exact same nano, it got trashed alongside my moto razer when I fell drunk into a river. I still have it in its box somewhere 😅
I lived this little guy, it was way cooler than the next one
Great videos mate. very informative! just subbed
You can use powered hub to keep it with steady power and connect to Mac as well to test the connection to Music app.
