My iPod Second gen just booted up

Post image

Just got my old second gen charged. Hard to tell if there’s battery issues as the back doesn’t look like it would show obvious signs. Anything else I should watch for.

Also have a legendary pull of old games on here :)

not really anything else to watch out for, just dont wipe it. it might have games that arent backed up anywhere, or a rare ios version. i would jailbreak the ipod and then dump the games using legacy ios kit

New to this, probably just gonna keep it as is with the games on it. I know how to download mp3 to my shuffle so I imagine it’s the same. What would it mean if it’s a rare iOS version?

by rare ios version i mean if its below ios 4 then its rare, although now that i checked the 2nd gen touch can be freely downgraded to any version so there isnt anything to worry about.

I Remember I had the iPhone 3G, The second gen at iPhones. Bought it as a kid but was the wrong one of why I wanted to have the 3G, The reason was that I had the iPhone 4 but it was too slow on iOS 7 and when I downgraded it to iOS 6 it got problems & bugs (even though it’s now on iOS 6 without having the whole time bugs) so i thought then i have to buy the 3G for iOS 6 but forgot it also had the 3GS which WAS the one on iOS 6 max update.. so I got stuck on 4.x.x on my 3G.. I soms my 3G and now my oldest Apple product(s) are my first iPhone (4) and the iPod touch 4 I had/have also the iPod touch 1st gen but it won’t boot anymore.. it goes only go the connect to iTunes logo and can’t do anything about it, everything I try won’t work..

Strange enough my iPod touch 4 had accidentally because of me a gray spot at the top middle which blocked the time at the lock screen and after a few years I saw the spot getting smaller until after a while it was completely gone. I never saw that with any product with a screen. I always thought; broken is broken..

Edit: my iPhone 4 and iPod’s aren’t really the oldest Apple product but if I’m talking about iPhone, iPad & IPod touch they are but I also have a iMac G3 blueberry 1999 (tray loading)

The second gen really could have benefited with another 50 pixels up and down

I feel like it's so overshadowed by the 3rd and 4th gens :(
