The iPod nano is a mid-range iPod portable media player designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was first introduced on September 7, 2005, and combines features of both the iPod shuffle and iPod classic. It was intended to replace the iPod mini, which was discontinued on the same day. The replacement of the mini took Apple-related websites and the press completely by surprise since, although there were rumors about a new flash memory-based iPod, there was no prior notice of the popular mini being discontinued.

Development work on the design of the iPod nano started only nine months before its launch date. The nano uses flash memory, like the shuffle, but with a miniaturized version of the color screen and click wheel found on the iPod classic. The battery and other internal parts were also reduced in size from the mini.
