ipods are useless

Those aliexpress ones for $2 will work for 2 weeks.

When I got my old flip phone back in '04 they had a special buy one get one free thing. So I put the other one, unopened, on a shelf and when the flip phone died (the first one) in 2011 I opened the other one and it ran fine until I realized I was using, you know, a fucking flip phone so I got a Samsung Galaxy 5 smart phone. LOL

So I dunno - I would imagine years. As long as you could still plug in the USB?

Apple is only discontinuing the iPod Classic...all their other newer iPod models are still part of the lineup.
The iPod Touch and Shuffle and all that shit will still be around for awhile...so it's really not such a big deal.

It's amazing to me they still have the classic around for sale. It makes no sense to buy one when the ipod touch is so much better...
