For Apple fans no signature device becomes unusable. Those with more skills seek to give a new life to each of the devices that the firm is ceasing to offer. And although they are not processes that most of us can replicate at home, it is still exciting to know these possibilities. Thus, the most recent “rescue” of an Apple object was made by YouTuber Niles Mitchell at use an old iPod nano to charge the Apple Pencil.
The iPod nano seventh generation underwent the latest complete iPod redesign. It became the first and only traditional iPod to support Bluetooth wireless headphones. Too was the only one that used Apple’s Lightning portas it was the only iPod released after the company began its transition from the old 30-pin Dock Connector to Lightning with the iPhone 5 in 2012. And it was this last characteristic that Mitchell took advantage of to pair it with another piece.
The iPod nano may still surprise us
On his YouTube channel, Will it work?, Mitchell sets out to answer the question of whether the iPod nano 2012’s Lightning port is actually capable of turning off the power in the same way that an iPhone or iPad does. Specifically, I wanted to know if an iPod nano could be used to charge an Apple Pencil, and the results were amazing.
Mitchell plugged a small Lightning-powered fan into an iPhone, where it immediately turned on. However, subsequently tested various other Lightning port equipped devicesincluding the new Siri Remote, an AirPods charging case, and even Apple’s Magic Trackpad.
After these tests, Mitchell was pleasantly surprised to find that the iPod nano did turn on its little fan. It also demonstrated that it works with an ultraviolet light powered by the Lightning port. Of course, the most interesting aspect was that the iPod nano also was able to charge a 1st gen Apple Pencil, just like connecting it to your iPad.
