Without a doubt, Apple has marked a great milestone with its portable media player. Not since Sony launched the Walkman has a portable device captured a market and has become the benchmark for all successful products in its market. Finding its lineage with the now-defunct brand known as iPod mini, the iPod Nano has spawned five generations of this sleek and stylish multi-format player, with one of its fourth-generation players being the Apple iPod Nano MB598.
The Apple Nano MB598 comes in silver and has a memory capacity of eight gigabytes. Other colors in their line include light blue, purple, black, yellow, green, orange, pink, and red. There are nine color options, and Apple calls this color scheme “nanochromatic.”
Released on September 9, 2008, at Apple’s Let’s Rock event, the Apple iPod Nano MB598 came as a surprise as it featured a new design that was very different from the previous model. Well, actually, it went back to the previous design that was featured on its first and second generation models, but added new lines that made it look sleeker and sexier. It is now relatively thinner and has smooth curved edges that make it easier to handle and prevent further scratches.
While reminiscent of its first and second generation in form, it retained the previous model’s rotating screen, which was two inches or 51 millimeters in size, significantly, the glass display is held in place by its casing, giving it a more distinctive look. of previous generations. Its entire body measures 3.57 inches or 90.7 millimeters in height, measures 1.52 inches or 38.7 millimeters in width, and is just 0.24 inches or 6.2 millimeters in thickness. It also comes very light with a weight of only 36.8 grams or 1.30 ounces. Unfortunately, however, Apple has reported a slight decrease in battery life, reducing it to just 4 hours of video playback capacity compared to its previous model, which allowed five hours. However, for music playback, the Apple iPod Nano MB598 has the ability to play audio files for twenty-four hours continuously.
And the best thing about its case is that Apple has made it highly recyclable. With our landfills filling up with tons and tons of obsolete electronics every year, including mobile phones, laptops, monitors, and of course portable media players, the Apple MB598, hailed as the greenest iPod Apple has ever made, is a breath of air fresh air, as it can be reused to produce other materials when replaced. The unit contains arsenic-free glass and is also design free of mercury, BFR and PVC.
Another cool piece of technology that can be found in the Apple iPod Nano MB598 is its ability to shuffle songs by simply shaking the unit. This is also due to its built-in accelerometer. If you don’t like the song that’s playing, just shake it again and it will play randomly again. This feature can only be used when you turn the hold switch off, this is a good idea so any unintentional movement doesn’t interrupt or change a song you’re playing.
