Customers try out the iPod nano at an Apple store in Palo Alto, Calif., in 2007. (Paul Sakuma/AP)Apple has killed off the iPod nano and the iPod shuffle, the remaining music players in its lineup that were solely dedicated to playing music.

Ultimately, we moved on from the iPod nano and the iPod shuffle to the iPhone — originally thought of as an “iPod phone,” when we didn't realize what it and the smartphone revolution could do. Apple is more focused on services than ever — Apple Music, Apple Health, the App Store, Apple TV.
