I firmly believe this was the best iPod they ever made and it saddens me that it's gone... I never understood why they didn't push ahead with this and then went to the touch screen. Of course in 2021 we're recording video and audio with 4K 60fps which would have been unheard of in 2009 (and 10 years from this comment who knows), but I remember using the 5th generation iPod and literally thinking things like, "I know the iPhone is better, but for a something that is marketed as just a music player, this is going way above and beyond."
@@copy.floppy thats not what they mean, they meant that being able to record on a stand alone DAP (Digital Audio Player) is unheard of, as even if phones are better, the fact that this device cant connect to wifi makes it more special as this device make you more connected to the experience of what it was made for
I bought one from ebay with a new battery, its so awesome! The DAC they used on this is so powerful its insane still blows me away 10+ years later. For example, I bought a pair of cheap but good headphones, ATH-M20x when I use them on my phone, I can barely hear the music, when I plug it into this I actually have to turn it down! It's such a cool little device way ahead of its time
If you convert videos with the handbrake converter with its accurate dimensions of the iPod it will work And honestly I didn’t mind watching series with it coz it keeps me away from social media and notification interruptions I even synced the whole Kanye West jeen-yuhs documentary and it’s resolution is fine by me coz it also come in small MBs after converting so I don’t even worry about my iPod storage being full
I remember the first time I had this was my birthday and it's the first ever Apple product I've ever had. I love that it's so easy to just place your songs at itunes and you just sync the songs to the ipod nano.
This was the very best iPod nano. The click wheel, smartvolume.. all it needed was Bluetooth and they could have kept that one going. I don't want to touch screen I don't want to have to look at my device to use it when I'm working out or doing something else. The camera was not great, but it was neat for the time. I find myself looking for another one
I remember being in 6th grade and I got this for my birthday. I was literally the coolest kid in my class because I was the first to have this. The filters were my absolute favorite. Nostalgia
I just bought an iPod Nano 5th gen two days ago from eBay! I never had any when I was growing up and my first Apple product was the iPod Touch 2nd gen! I had an Insignia mo3 player instead and I loved it so much! Now that I have adult money, I thought I want an mo3 player again and just saw dupes of the Nano, so I thought I'd check out this video and it's convinced me to bite the bullet and just ge tthe Nano! I love the pink colorway!😍 Reminds me of the old Fujifilm FinePix Z I've always wanted as well! What a time to be alive!
Don't use iTunes!!! Use iMazing to sync with these old iPods (or any modern stuff as well) and you can just copy your old music off onto your computer rather than losing it. iTunes is just a joke at this stage.
Great video! I used the 5th gen for a good 9 years before the hardware started to have issues, at which point I "upgraded" to the 7th gen (I just love having a dedicated music player and love the Nano line). I really like the 7, but I agree that the 5 is the best. Good price point, storage, radio, camera, and design. Even though my original 5 is retired, it still sits proudly on my desk. I love that thing.
Unfortunately, I just "destroyed" my second 5th Gen device at the gym. I really like the 5th Gen over all the others and one reason is the ease of use (learning curve initially) and the FM Tuner. I used the heck out of the FM Tuner. Now, I'm looking for my 3rd 5th Gen iPod nano but I can't seem to find a new one. I don't trust the ones on eBay from China. My search continues.
I had an Ipod Mini 4 gb and an Ipod 30 gb bought in 2007 (color display with games and more). Loved this device, but the color display iPod became obsolete in a couple of year because every phone could play mp3...It's incredible that youngest do not know the Walkman and the iPod at all...I'm 41.
Anyone remember that the iPod shuffle used to have a version with no controls except the 3 buttons on the headphone wires, you long press the middle to get the voice to call out the albums playlists you downloaded. Well, if you plugged in those headphones into an iPod Nano 5th Gen, the same function was available.

my 5th gen came in yesterday, still gotta test out the battery but it seems to be okay, definitely not as good as the one on my 3rd gen one but i think it’s okay cause it still lasts a fairly long time i think

the camera is in the wrong place so when you hold it , it is covered by your hand and after heavy use, the battery expands and catches fire, it is such a shame that they didn't fix these issues, then it would have been great!
It's so frustrating that they discontinued these great devices. Have you ever tried working out with an iPhone 12 in your pocket? Undoable. The thing is a brick. It is especially frustrating that they discontinued the iPod Nano because the way technology advances, Apple could probably now make an iPod nano that holds a TERABYTE - yet is no bigger than any of its predecessors. I would throw my money at them in a heartbeat for such a glorious device. And perhaps above all, it's just a breath of fresh air to have a device that is solely for music. No texts, no email, no internet, NO DISTRACTIONS... just you and your music.

I honestly don't like this model due to it not holding up over time. it's been stated in multiple videos multiple times that a few of these generations of ipod nano have battery issues, also they're very hard to repair
This is actually the worst iPod ever made as it was a victim of the black spot since apple made them so thin that the battery expands and puches out the screen and might explode. Trust me your money is better spent getting the iPod nano 7th generation with Bluetooth and no black spot problems.

Yooooo!!! Take my breath away by Alesso is one of my favorite songs!!! All of the songs on that iPod I have on my daily playlist. That’s awesome!
This was the best nano. It had coverflow, radio, a 12 hour+ battery life playing back and it was extremely silent and clean sounding
Thank you for explaining some of the great features on this historic device. I still have two of them...
You are looking at Nano's from when you were a kid, and I'm looking at Sony Walkman tape players from when I was a kid.
The only iPod Nano with a camera and built-in speaker, even the later iPod Nanos (the touchscreen Nanos) didn't have neither.

Tip:
If you have the acc files to the movies (like an mp4 file), you can convert it for an iPod via iTunes and drag and drop it to ur iPod.
Yeah. So I want to get these for my daughters, mainly because of color variety. If the newer touch screen nanos had purple I’d get those instead
