My Gen 4 Touch is still my go-to audio device, because it's so small and sleek. It has become increasingly less useful in other respects, however, as the tiny screen is much harder to navigate with my ageing eyes and because more and more of my apps have ceased to function as they require updates incompatible with its terminal OS.
These look really nice and I'd be delighted if one fell into my lap. But I can't come close to justifying forking out the premium price when I've got a couple of perfectly good unactivated smartphones that serve the same purpose, and at a fraction of the cost. I'm getting a little tired of Apple's planned obsolescence, too; my Gen 2 Touch and now my Gen 4 Touch reached the end of their useful lives well before the hardware failed.
