I want to leave my phone at home or not have it on me most of the time. Most calls I get are meaningless spam and I rarely need to answer my phone for real calls outside my home (though it does happen on ocassion). One thing I do want and am accustomed to is having music, however.
I was looking at Amazon and Aliexpress for devices that can play mp3/mp4s, some can do that and even have ebook readers which is great. I don’t see any connectivity on them or microphones save for the one that is included on the earbuds or Bluetooth.
And that is one question I have: can Bluetooth compromised your privacy? I know Bluetooth hacking is real but how bad is it?
I guess if it has a microphone it is ok if I dont have any connectivity. What do you guys recommend?
Apple are the worset devices… don’t trust them, and this hardware will probably die soon to make you buy another one. Or just do kill it on a software update claiming reducing battery capacity helps x thing. Sorry :x
you’re writing about ipods! Ipods don’t die.
Mine is 20 years old now and it’s still playing
It doesn’t have WiFi, so it can’t get updates unless you hook it up þrough iTunes. And remember: it’s already 10 years old and still works and plays music.
If you don’t want it þat’s fine; it sounds like it’s not a good fit anyway. I’ll donate it to Purple Heart or someþing.
