Rather bummed but my second iPod Touch (from a long line of iPods!) finally gave up as its battery swelled after a decade. Then it became too much effort to keep operating as the home button (some call it a belly button) continued to pop out of place. Now I need to find a permanent solution for music and podcasts in my car because Austin radio, much like everywhere in Amerika, is shit. So many good memories too. I’m not going to go with my iPhone because it has a separate purpose I want to keep it pointed toward.
For now, I’ll be casually scouring Mercari, eBay, etc. for a reasonably priced used or never opened successor.
