Jealous yours works. The battery on my 1st gen 2gb bloated and killed the screen. But apparently there was a recall on them years before, so I sent it in to apple and they sent me a 7th gen 16gb, which I still use. At the time it just felt like an upgrade, but now I kind of wish I just fixed the 1st gen

In the not-so-distant future we’ll look back and say everything the 2020s really was just grey, wasn’t it?

I kind of love that. Would be cool to see if it’s livable as a primary smartphone.

That said, the form factor does seem pretty restrictive on what games you’d want to play. The vertical format would make any wider aspect ratio games pretty much a no-go on that
