People are just remembering Apple's 'forgotten device' released just eight years ago

People are remembering one of Apple's most beloved products.

2017 was a sad day for Apple fans who had to say goodbye to one of its most beloved products.

While kids these days might not even know what an MP3 player is, it certainly was a game-changing device that essentially retired CD players.

The user interface and the sleek design of Apple's iPod was once a thing of beauty.

And both the Nano and the Shuffle, which were released in 2005, came out two years before the iPhone - designed as a cheaper alternative to the standard iPod.

But it's the Nano in particular that people truly miss.

YouTuber Zachary Staines recently uploaded a video titled: "Forgotten iPod," earlier this year and viewers have been reminiscing over the device discontinued in 2017.

"Is this Apple's forgotten iPod because I don't know about you, but I don't remember it at all," he said.

"This is the seventh and last iPod Nano from 2015.

"This thing is like a mini iPhone, except of course it doesn't support calls.

"But it does support the usual music, movies, podcasts, the good stuff.

"But see at the release of the iPod, the iPhone 6 was dominating.

"It's still one of the best selling phones ever.

"It does feel like the success of the iPhone does overshadow the iPod.

"But with the iPhone crushing as an all-in-one device, why have both?

"Though it does make a lot of sense for something like running, which is probably why they still sell for over 200 big ones, and man it's got me wondering."

Commenting on the clip, one viewer said: "This was actually my first iPod that wasn't a hand-me-down. I loved it, and since I shared a cellphone with my siblings at the time, I was able to still enjoy music & videos. I miss it, tbh."

Another added: "I genuinely used this iPod for years, loved it. Still works today."

A third person also shared: "This was my first apple device as a kid. used to listen to disney soundtracks and play around in the settings (my parents didn’t let me have games).

"I remember i was DEVASTATED after losing it on a summer vacation."

The iPod Nano withstood a lifespan of 11 years and went though seven different generations from September 7, 2005 to July 27, 2017.

The 7th generation device featured a 2.5 inch, touch-sensitive display and was the last and final iPod Nano to date.
