And his words were prescient, since the launch of the music player marked a before and after in the industry. The design, with a wheel in the center to scroll through the menu. This first model evolved over time, and the most important change came when the thickness was significantly reduced.

In 2004 the iPod mini was released, which had a capacity of 4 GB.
In this case, the evolutions were not significant, since it only had a second generation, but it was essential for Apple to bring out the iPod Nano in 2005, which has become one of the most representative devices of the brand and whose first version was sold in capacities of 1, 2, or 4 GB. In addition to music, it had the ability to support photographs. The most important changes occurred for the third generation, which was published in 2007. This time, the screen changed to a square shape, the back was chromed, it had a completely new interface, added the ability to play videos and also it had a much smaller wheel for scrolling through menus.
