History

During a media event on September 1st, 2010, Apple announced the sixth-generation iPod nano, which among numerous new features would be designed around a high-resolution touchscreen in a "square" shape. Some significant changes are as follows: the device now features a smaller 1.54-inch screen at lower resolution (higher pixel density) that supports multi-touch, in contrast to the 2.2-inch screen of the iPod nano 5g. The device supports more than 24 hours of music playback with a single charge. The device maintains the same 30-pin dock connector of previous generations. The new iPod nano does not support video playback. Furthermore, the device no longer has a camera or voice recorder, as Apple's market research determined that many customers rarely used these features in devices of the previous generation. The iPod nano lost the built-in speaker. The sixth-generation iPod has the same price as the fifth-generation iPod. It still includes the Nike fitness option and the FM radio tuner.

Trivia

• The sixth-generation iPod nano presented in 2010 featured a square 1.54-inch screen smaller than the previous model, but with higher pixel density, representing a radical change in the device's design. • Apple deliberately eliminated features such as the camera, voice recorder, and internal speaker because market research had shown that most customers did not use them in previous models. • Despite the significant reductions in functionality, the new iPod nano maintained impressive battery life of over 24 hours of music playback on a single charge and the same price as the previous model.
