There are some products that have been old, they may have fallen out of people's sight, but every time they think we are full of memories.
In 2010, I also saw the "Apple Watch" on my classmate wrist, this small, exquisite product successfully attracted many people's attention. I still remember the good family's good family to show off the best, this is the latest product released by the "Joe Gang", called iPod nano. At that time, I still don't know who is "Joe Gang", and I don't know anything about the iPod nano series.
I have been to know for a long time, IPOD? NANO 6 (official standard title iPod nano (6th generation) is convenient to describe the following referred to as iPod nano 6) is not "Apple Watch", but many people use the dial size as "watch" To use - the real apple table Apple Watch appears, wait until Tim Cook and his One More Thing link after four years. That year, Jobs has left us, Apple Watch is the first new product line that was opened after his death.
If there is no iPod nano 6, Apple will still release the Apple Watch answer may be affirmative, but it will eventually be a look that we see today. Throughout, Apple Watch and the old foreigner iPod nano 6 do have thousands of contacts. It can be said that as one of Jobs leads, it affects and guides the design of Apple Watch from a sense, until today, "remains".
Unexpected coincidence
iPod nano 6 is first a music player, as a sixth generation iPod nano product, inherits the core concept of Apple iPod music player: listen to music, carry a small, long-term battery, reflecting the iPod Classic advertisement Language - Put a thousand songs in your pocket.
But the other side of this product is Apple to try to create an iPod nano of a touch screen. It is the first iPod nano that supports multi-touch, and is also the first iPod nano with a dial, when it When I first appeared at Apple's Apple Conference in September 2010, Jobs said half joke:
It also has more features, such as FM broadcasting, such as a watch, you can also add an arm to make it look a watch, and photos feature, etc.
When he introduced these new features, there was a laughter under the stage. As a music player product, these features are obviously not that important, but no one will think that this seemingly joking has brought unexpected feedback after the product release - third-party manufacturers launched for them The strap, more and more users try to put the music player on the wrist.
These third-party straps have brought better reason to buy iPod Nano 6 at the time: it can not only listen to songs, but also be used by daily use. Since the product is able to provide 24-hour music broadcasting time, the albums and motion functions are added, the dial is also full of technological fashion, so that the music player "Do not work" is also not inferior to ordinary watches.
Although there is no specific data, this change is very rapid, including Lunatik, HEX, Griffin, Incipio, Switcheasy, etc., which started quickly production of iPod nano's watch, even now iPod nano 6 has been discontinued, you can still be on Amazon. Search them.
There is also a big star on the wrist, and the manufacturer HEX even shared the Snoop Dogg and Justin Bieber and others wear iPod nano 6 as a watch. Obviously these stars not only are faithful apple fans, but also have many Fans's natural billboards, huge star effects are the best flow in today, happy is not just Apple, and there are numerous accessories manufacturers.
Thus, in 2011, the Phil Schiller, a senior vice president of Apple Global Product Marketing, said that these third-party straps are "very interesting", and then the official also joined 16 new clock interfaces in the system update and Improvements to sports function, we are very familiar with Mi Mice on Apple Watch, which is this time to join iPod nano 6.
Similar square watch dials, inheritably consistent rice mouse clock interface, with music playback, also have sports function ..... These unexpected coincidences let iPod nano 6 and Apple Watch have some "blood" relationships, At this time we went to Apple Watch products, you will see some of its neglected features.
Beyond the existence of iPod
It is difficult to create a watch that everyone likes, but to create a smart watch that everyone likes is not easy, so I have experienced some experience from iPod? Nano 6.
The reason why IPOD NANO 6 can become an alternative "watch" that people love is in that it finds fashion and technology balance points. As the Apple iPod nano series, colorful color itself can reflect personality, plus a variety of diverse dials and massive straps, can create unique personality, even if users wear every day, can produce fresh feelings.
The refinement of technology is its strength, in addition to playing music, the product itself supports the calendar, FM broadcast, photo album, and exercise such as the function of the traditional watch cannot be achieved. Apple also maintains a longer battery life on the basis of these functions, naturally brought people to play a sense of satisfaction of the watch.
Ipod nano 6 Because these reasons become people's favorite products, this has become an important source of apple watch finds inspiration in the future.
Ipod nano 6 The time positive value Apple launched the iPhone 4, although digital music and publishing are still an important pillar of Apple, but iPhone has undoubtedly become an important pillar of Apple, apple observes the development trend of mobile devices, and make more excellent The personal mobile device is naturally planned, so although Apple Watch is born four years later, it is obvious that Apple has observed this type of product for a while.
A potential trend is that personal wearable devices are beginning to popular, wearable equipment manufacturers Jawbone in 2011, with the UP bracelets, make many people started such products, Misfit is almost a boom at the same time, wearing a wrist The sports tests, fashion color, etc. have the function of the smart bracelet, can be the reason why people love it, is Apple already have the characteristics of the iPod nano?
In response to reports, the Apple Watch released in 2014 was in 2011. After the sale of Apple Watch in 2014, Apple Design Team Soul Characters John Ivy mentioned when accepting ABC news interviews, Apple Watch project they have done 3 years. When the apple team was designed for three years, Ivy's answer was surprised: If it is true, there may be millions. In addition, he is also very satisfied with the confidentiality of the product:
feels good. I mean, when you have spent 3 years, the team is relatively small at the time, and this transformation is really shocking. For us, when we quietly design a product, then suddenly there have been millions of talents know what you do, this is really a huge shift.
So as an ONE MORE Thing appears, we saw the strange but familiar feelings brought by the collection of fashion and technology:
It has a square touch display with multiple dial devices
It has a detachable diverse person
It self-running, exercise detection
It can get more applications with mobile phones
Its unique digital crown has created interact with the unique wrist
Apple has focused from iPod Nano 6, from Jawbon / Misfit, from traditional watch, the lesson learned from traditional watches, and many new features make Apple Watch looks a lot more excellent than similar products.
Remember the question of Tim Cook to show Apple Watch? Why is there a touch screen to give Apple Watch? Because in a very small area in the watch, you can't see the screen content when you use your fingers, this is the problem that the people who have encountered on the iPod nano 6, but Apple not only inherited iPod nano 6. Good part, and try to improve those bad experiences, the uniqueness of digital crown is even for people to remember the IPOD series iconic disc, which is the result of summing up lessons.
As a more private, it can also reflect personalized wrist tools, and traditional watch manufacturing brands can provide thousands of thousands of chosen manufacturing methods and not suitable for Apple, but after countless improvement, Apple makes Apple Watch like the IPod Like the Nano 6, it becomes a fashion technology product that everyone is willing to try. Everyone can find her favorite strap and find the idling dial, wear this watch to exercise, go to work. When it appears in any occasion, you will know that this is a cool product, it is a popular symbol.
Be
Apple Watch has come to today, its senior iPod nano series has already been discontinued, and Apple Watch has also become more mature and more popular from newcomers. The shipments of 2017 have even reached 18 million, sales And sales continue to rise than the previous year, Apple surpasses all Swiss watch brands have become the largest watch manufacturer of this planet, this has to be said that it is once again successful after IPOD, IPAD, and iPhone.
To a certain extent, we have seen the brilliance today, from Apple's unique creation and innovation experience in our products. But if there is no iPod nano 6, will today's Apple Watch will be welcome? I don't know, but at least it is certain that now I will take a collection of iPod nano 6 from the drawer. When I see the familiar Miqi dial walk, this familiar feeling is still going back to the afternoon of the student's era, then It is really cool when it is.
