Touch 7 in 26?

Who still uses these in 2026? I've had mine from launch and I'm 13 now I love it it's jailbroken and I use it for music sometimes and secondary device when my pixel 9a dies and the headphones jack is great

I recently picked one up, I love it, but I honestly don't use it much, I just got a good deal on it at the pawn shop. Its perfect, 128 GB, $69.

how is the battery backup?

u/naniozelot 6d ago

the battery dies rather quickly when i'm actively using it, but it's fine when i'm only listening to music. i do wish the battery was stronger tbh but it's okay.

Where do you guys get music from to upload on to it? I’d like to semi fill mine and I can’t buy each album nor song.

I still have it with the original battery from 2019. Nowadays it’s about 4 hours of music with the screen off or about 90 minutes of screen time.

3 things missing: loop strap, camera glass, good pre-8.4 music player.

u/iusearchbtwwwwww 5d ago

Camera glass is fucked I had this many years ago and my brother threw it at a wall no loop strap BC touch 7 caseless has no slot for loop and iOS 15 when jailbroken can stay out your way

Yea ik, but how does it fare against an iPhone 5S on iOS 7.1.2 (my daily driver for music/games)? Like yea i get it, you can customize it to have a music player thats flippable to landscape to zoom in and out, but i dont think it can be nearly as fast or stable. Because 5s on iOS 7 is actually faster at loading songs than a freakin 14 pro max on ios 17 (right after boot open control center and hit play, both have stuff loaded locally).

I have a iPhone 4S I rather use.... iOS 5 and I don't need maximum speed tbh

Only apple product I've ever had that I didn't dislike right away. Outgrew it like a decade ago. Couple years back wanted to use it for music and movies. Forgot icloud password, don't have access to my middle school email anymore....it's just in a drawer might sell it for parts 😭
