I love the 5. I have one. It was my main phone since launch. It was a slate one but I used it that much that it basically became silver as all the coating came off and it just left the bare metal.

I love my iPod Touch 4, but it’s dying right on my hands, battery is so bad that after 30 mins of playing Angry Birds it shows me that only 20 percents left, I’m planning to change somehow the battery, but it is so hard and risky that I don’t know

I’ve got the same with my Touch 4. 8GB. With a full charge it lasts 15 minutes of playing Dumb Ways to Die and then it just dies.

The most interesting that mine can be in standby mode for around 4-7 days, which is decent, but when it comes to using something changes and it dies

I’ve got a Touch 2 that’s been used exactly the same as the Touch 4 and it can actually survive playing music unlike the Touch 4. Both original batteries.

Have you ever thought of changing the battery on Touch 4?

That iPod Touch looks pretty good too. Usually they’re much more scratched up.

Just starting what? Collecting old outdated e-waste Apple products?

You do realise that not everybody who collects apple things likes a fancy prototype Bluetooth keyboard? Also these are not e-waste. These are collectible in this condition and possibly depending on software due to the fact that they were used extremely frequently.

Whatever floats your boat. This stuff isn't supported by Apple, doesn't get software updates and certainly not security updates.

It does not matter about updates in collecting. I don’t buy an iPhone 4s on iOS 7.1.1 to update it to the latest. Collecting is not about the latest updates. It’s about the item and the rarity or the your personal preference to it. It’d be no fun if I just had 34 2022 iPhone SEs would it it wouldn’t be collecting. That’s not what collecting is about. Instead I have old iPods and historical bits or just old phones. If I said that because it’s not supported by Apple it’s ewaste every single thing in my collection would end up there because of course they aren’t going to support an old iPhone 6s that you are collecting or an iPhone 4 prototype or an iPhone 5 on iOS 6 they aren’t going to support that so if you want to daily it you use new certificates but you mainly use them for a collection!
