Insignificant number of users/purchasers probably. How many people don't have a smartphone with a music service on it? And out of the people that would prefer a device like the Nano for certain activities (e.g. gym) how many need a new version? I still have the first Nano that had a video camera and it works as well as the day I bought it.

And for those who do, Apple would probably prefer to sell you an Apple Watch with 2GB of music storage than an iPod Shuffle.

More than six billion?


Maybe those expensive wireless earphones could even keep a playlist in memory and then you can go for a run without the phone..
