Just imagine if it was made today. It would stop working after a year cuz it broke or due to some "Software incompatibility" which conveniently makes you get a new version of it


Apple still supports the first iPhone SE, made over 5 years ago. Apple devices are quite durable.


If Apple releases a new iPod Shuffle/Mini generation today, I would definitely buy it. If they add support for bluetooth, even better!


Bluetooth, that's an interesting feature request. Radio firmware needs to be maintained. People here say they used a iPod Shuffle for 10 years. There's no way any device is going to have a secure Bluetooth stack for 10 years. The chipsets get neglected after a couple of years, IF you are lucky.
