Some of the stocks apps don’t work anymore and, somehow, my Twitter app is trapped in a 2013 timeline with some of my friends complaining about random stuff. Then, when I can finally see the home screen, I’m reminded of what enchanted me about Apple products with its skeuomorphic apps stuck on iOS 5.1.1 When I slide to unlock it, I’m reminded of my Beatlemania period when I was 14 years old, as a 20- something Paul McCartney looks at me. My iPod touch’s volume buttons don’t work anymore, but the Home and power buttons are still just fine. There’s a nostalgia about holding this 3.5-inch device with a now oxidated stainless steel back. To write this story, I had to wait over an hour until it decided to properly turn on, but it is always worth it. Now, in 2022, you can still take advantage of this device – sort of.Įvery now and then I decide to turn on my 13-year-old iPod touch, and every time it gets trickier. With up to 64GB of storage, the iPhone counterpart didn’t have a camera, nor a fancy processor, but somehow its 3.5-inch multitouch screen conquered a new generation of Apple users – myself included. Thirteen years ago, Apple unveiled the third-generation iPod touch.
