iPod Nano/Shuffle is perfect for those who LOVE music but don’t want to fill up all their storage on their phones. And with built-in Bluetooth technology, you can wirelessly connect to speakers, headphones, or car stereos.
Apple introduced the first iPod nano in September 2005, and over the nano's lifespan it has received several redesigns, from first to seventh-generation. In mid-2017, the iPod nano was discontinued along with the iPod shuffle, leaving the iPod touch as the only iPod sold by Apple.

Apple needs WiFi to verify Apple Music subscriptions, and the cheaper iPods don't have WiFi capability.
