Apple Says Final iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle Models Are Now Obsolete

.....Apple today added the final iPod nano and iPod shuffle models to its obsolete products list worldwide, marking the end of an era.

Apple introduced new color options for the seventh-generation iPod nano and fourth-generation iPod shuffle in 2015, and those models are now obsolete in particular. Apple went on to discontinue the iPod nano and iPod shuffle entirely in 2017.

Apple considers a device to be "obsolete" once seven years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. Once a device is obsolete, it is no longer eligible for repair at an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, with the only exception being MacBook battery replacements for up to a 10-year period.

Apple also added the iPhone 6 to its obsolete products list today. Apple had already classified the larger iPhone 6 Plus as obsolete in April, but the smaller iPhone 6 had remained available through resellers in select countries for longer, so it only became obsolete now.

Last, Apple added the 2017 model of the 12-inch MacBook and the sixth-generation iPad to its vintage products list today. Apple considers a device to be "vintage" once five years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. Apple might offer to repair a vintage product, but only if parts remain available.......


………say…….goodbye………girl……?!

I actually started using my Nano recently for terrestrial radio... so few options.

Still use the nano that someone here sent me free for cost of shipping a few years back. And years ago I sold my old shuffle to a woman where I worked. About 6 months ago, before I retired, I saw her in the hallway listening to it.

Shhhh…my nano doesn’t know yet and is still working like a champ every time I mow the lawn.

I have two iPods and 4 or 5 various nanos. Apple once gave me a free postage stamp nano for some reason. It went through the washer and dryer once, no prob. One of the iPods operates continuously every time I work my taxi. Mostly bulletproof. I dread the OS that will no longer recognize them and allow me to shuffle music on and off of them.

The release of the original white 5GB iPod was such a momentous occasion for me after decades of 45s, LPs, 8 tracks, cassette players, Walkmans, mini cds…. Oh well.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
