J. What happens when the battery gets old and won't hold a charge?
You buy a new one, of course. Why this will never happen is that once a
new model of the iShit comes out, as a die hard Apple fan you simply MUST
buy it and get rid of the old one. I heard they don't even replace the
batteries in Apple's repair services. They just hand you a new phone.
It's the subscription model for hardware. It also effectively kills the market
for used iPods.
Then the model is broken somewhere, because Apple hardware has an incredibly
high resale value.
I wouldn't buy a used ipod because of the non-replaceable battery. One has no
idea how much life is left in it. I've had a number of gadgets become useless
once the battery would no longer take a charge.
