When Apple introduced the iPod nano, it reimagined what a music player could be: impossibly thin, flash-powered, and beautifully simple. It replaced the iPod mini overnight and became an instant cultural icon - “1,000 songs in your pocket,” reborn in a smaller, sleeker form.
This handcrafted frame preserves that legacy through a complete teardown of a real 1st Generation iPod nano. Inside, you’ll find authentic components like the logic board, LCD display, click wheel, headphone jack, and polished casing — carefully cleaned, aligned, and mounted by hand.
This piece blends art and engineering — a tribute to Apple’s leap into miniaturization and the timeless design philosophy that continues to inspire. A must-have for collectors, design and tech enthusiasts, and anyone who remembers the dawn of digital simplicity.
The iPod Nano 1st Generation was released in two classic finishes - white and black - each defined by its polished acrylic front and stainless-steel back. Iconic Tech Studio retains this original presentation, framing each teardown in the color of the authentic sourced device.
