What cool features would you like to see?

I personally would like 512GB, a touch screen and AirPod support. Similar design to the 2012 iPod Nano.

Upcoming airpods with screen basically a ipod

Not Like Us preloaded

4th gen iPod Nano goated

Sd card slot
Can read external disks via usb c
Oled
3.5mm and bluetooth compatible
Separate physical buttons for volume up, volume down, play/pause, next track, previous track
Small as possible
Long battery life w replaceable battery
Easily reparable
Open source
Wifi compatible for network transfers

I got the 2012 nano. Still use it at the gym once in a while. It’s brazy how thin it is. Even got it working with my AirPods.

16gb tho

yeah i mean… yeah

Built-in sounding rod

A strong DAC, Good bluetooth audio, a customizable EQ that doesn't mess up the audio, 3.5mm JACK!!! And a good battery to power it all.

Oh u spitting too.

SD card support is a must. Music doesn't need to be transferred blazing fast lol.

Mmm saveable parametric and graphic eqs you can assign to songs or albums or playlists or headphones/speaker connections

What i mean by usbc external disk reading is ability to transfer from an external disk without having to connect to a personal computer.
If the charger was usbc then you wouldnt have to include another port

what?? this is news to me

small square with stem player inspired haptics

need.

I wouldn't. Not needed

I would package with it, or at least have an option to pack it with a vinyl and cd burner so you can put your physical collection onto it. AirPod support. I would NOT have safari, Instagram, and other apps to distract people from the music.

shi looks cool but still doesnt fill the niche of the ipod nano

Bluetooth, aux, USB c in+out, fast charging, wifi, runs android

Better buttons/wheel, bigger screen, controller support

Most importantly uses a snapdragon 8 so you can use it to emulate anything

None of that would happen

Apple being apple they would prob just make a music device that has apple music preloaded for streaming with barely any storage for offline mode and that's it

Apple needs to return to their LSD roots

nanomachines

meh apple patents things all the time

tech companies do this so they have the right to do something, millions of apple patents havent seen the light of day
