I wasn't even aware that Apple still made the Nano! I remember when they first came out..

I'll echo that - I didn't know these products (shuffle and nano) were still on the market.

Philip - The A8 processor is on the Apple TV fourth gen, iPad Mini 4 and iPod Touch!!

Doesn't share the same chip as iPhone SE & 6s!!

Do some further research and find out more before you publish!!

iPod Touch is stellar for music listening & playing instruments through effect apps, and multitrack recording as well. The cost of the Touch is about the same as one good guitar pedal, but low-cost apps allow a slew of effects often on par sonically to its physical counterparts.

The next step seems to replace the analog TRRS jack with digital via Lightning, a la iPhone 8 & X. Items such as iRig will have to accommodate the change, and more consumer expense, but alas a cleaner signal in & out. Granted, there are Lightning audio interfaces, but specifically the iRig Acoustic pickup would greatly benefit by a digital connection.
