MacRumors: Several iPods to Hit Obsolete Status at End of Month

02 SEPTEMBER 2022 - I owned two iPods before iPhone came out: One of the old ones with the blue-ish screen and one of the first iPod videos. Got an iPhone and never looked back, and yet - there is something sad about the old machines being put out to pasture. And it’s about to happen again. A piece from MacRumors says - at the end of this month:

Apple will designate several iPod models, including the last iPod nano, select models of the last iPod shuffle, and models of the fifth-generation iPod touch as obsolete (…), marking the end of eligible hardware service repairs worldwide.

Tons of ‘em on eBay still. Maybe I’ll get myself one for Christmas.
