My guess is that an iPod Nano can’t replace your iPhone so you’re going to have one anyway. If you already have one, why buy something else that doesn’t offer any extra features? Same goes for things like battery life, I’m already charging my phone every night, listening to audio is a very small additional battery drain so my daily habits don’t change.
Combine that with the fact that a lot of people listen to music via streaming services, the Apple Watch exists (works well for runners that don’t want to carry a phone) and you can start to see why the market for an iPod nano is pretty niche these days.
I don’t mean to discourage you, love the research you’ve done and your passion for the concept! Just know that if you build it out it’s going to be a niche product. Nothing wrong with that.
- sandreas 3y agoYeah, you may be right... but I always see nostalgia discussions about how it would be to have a distraction free audio player with iPod features and size... So there would be definetely a market in my opinion :-) And since there are modern Android High Res DAP[1] devices like: HiBy M300 Sony A306 Astell & Kern Shanling M3 I just don't understand why they are ONLY focusing on bulky android stuff. Maybe to support Spotify, Audible and Quboz. [1]: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hi-res-portable-daps-comparison-chart-2022.961903/ https://www.head-fi.org/threads/hi-res-portable-daps-compari...
