Introduced in 2005, the iPod nano has undergone various modifications throughout its life cycle. Now, one of the executives responsible for creating this iPod is showing off some of the various mock-ups created to explore the possibilities of this product as he releases a new book called Build: An Orthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making.

Apple’s former senior vice president of the iPod division, Tony Fadell, posted the image. on his twitter from six different iPod nano layouts. As he explained, they were just 3D-printed mannequins, “something that you could hold in your hand, but they were the ones who made the project real.”

For example, the first layout was almost the same as the design of the fourth generation iPod nano released in 2008, while some other models are similar to what the first generation product looked like.

“What if the screen was this big? What if the wheel was that big? What if there were no wheels?

One of the mockups, for example, is a full screen iPod nano. While it could be said to be a lost iPhone without a notch, it’s interesting to see Apple experiment with this design even though it was just a dummy model.

The history of the creation of the iPod nano is in a separate chapter of Fadell’s new book. In a chapter entitled “Make the intangible tangible,” a former Apple CEO said that making the intangible tangible is “one of the most important parts of product development, even if you’re not in the hardware business.”
