This makes the final iPod in the iconic nano line-up a ‘vintage’ device. Vintage products are devices that have not been sold more than five and less than seven years ago. Once products pass the seven-year mark, they are considered obsolete. Apple launched a refreshed version of the 7th generation iPod Nano in mid-2015 and that waa the last iPod nano that Apple has made. That device is five years old now and therefore is getting added to the vintage list. Also read click here.

(MacRumours) Apple gave the 7th-gen iPod Nano a refresh in 2015 but it was just in terms of colours. The design remained the same. This indicated that the device was nearing its end of life. With the iPod Shuffle in mid-2017, the iPod Nano was discontinued. This left the iPod Touch as the sole iPod that Apple still sells. So what happens to devices on the vintage list? Devices on the vintage list can still get hardware service from Apple and Apple’s service providers and this depends on the availability of repair components, of course. Obsolete products, on the other hand, get no hardware service. Apple is planning to officially add the seventh-generation iPod Nano to the vintage and obsolete list on September 30, along with the 5th-generation ‌iPod Touch‌, which was originally released on October 11, 2012.
