Apple lifted the veil on the 7th generation iPod nano in 2012 during a keynote during which the Apple brand also made the iPhone 5 official. Suffice to say that it has been a few years, at least quite a while for the manufacturer to consider that the device is too old indicates the specialized mediaMacRumors.
As a result, Apple will soon consider the 7th generation iPod nano as an old product. It will join the list of old products, a selection already made up of quite a few products. In fact, this classification means that the company will no longer ensure the delivery of spare parts to approved repair centers. It will always be possible to have the item repaired in the event of a breakdown, but subject to availability of the parts concerned.
The end of an era for Apple
Usually, Apple products are deemed obsolete around 5-7 years after their release into the market. It makes sense that the 7th generation iPod nano falls into this category, since it is now 8 years old. In this way, the brand invites users to turn to more recent products while avoiding repair centers having to deal with devices considered too old.
As a reminder, the iPod nano has no longer been sold on the Apple site since 2017, and for good reason, the iPhones have largely replaced the functionalities attributed to the device in the past.
The brand presented the first nano version of the portable music player in 2005, at a time when the product was very popular. Subsequently, Apple unveiled a few other models, making design changes over the generations. Officialized in 2012, the more compact model was the only one to feature a home button similar to the iPhone rather than the traditional wheel found on previous generations. If you miss this format, you can always turnvers l’iPod Touch, still on sale on the manufacturer's official website.
