The End of an Era: What Was Your Favorite iPod?

The classic 6th Gen iPod was my favorite, up to 160 GB storage.

This one.

My favorite iPod was the nano, specifically, the 4th and the 5th gen iPod nano.

5th gen nano:

iPod shuffle 4th Generation.
Super small with built in clip.
Lots of colors.
Inexpensive.
Very focused experience.

I have a soft spot for the OG because that was the device that got me interested in Apple as more than a computer maker.

I’d used Macs from ‘99 up to that point, but the iPod was such a cool product that I became invested in their industrial design. It’s hard to imagine now, but that first device was like a piece of art compared to other portable music players.

That was the turning point for me where they were no longer just the words ‘education’ and ‘creative’, and a company that made computers “that guy” (There was always someone like me…) would use; they were a lifestyle brand.
