==Design==
The new design featured a hybrid shape between the 2nd generation iPod nano and 5th generation iPod touch with a 2.5-inch screen that supported multi-touch gestures. Though the operating system superficially resembled iOS 6, it was still based on a customized version of Pixo, like earlier models. The app icons are based on iOS designs, except that they used circular shapes. New apps could not be downloaded from the Apple App Store. It also featured the newer Lightning connector and EarPods without the microphone and controls. 16 GB was the only storage capacity option, but it was initially available in 7 colors (pink, yellow, blue, green, purple, silver, and slate).iPod Q&A: What are all the differences between the iPod nano 7th Generation (A1446) and the iPod nano 6th Generation (A1366) models they replaced?, Everyi. 2015-08-10.
