I have the same bad boy and it works like a charm, but I do have one issue with it: I can't use iTunes to manage it, to add or remove music. How do you do this?

Can’t comment on clothes, but I got one of their backpacks ~6 years ago and the zipper failed maybe 2 years ago. I took it into the store and they gave me a brand new one from the back no questions asked. I was in and out in 2 minutes. I would assume it’s a similar policy with their clothes

The thing that smells is the stuff bacteria eat and poop so to say. Anything that kills bacteria will help. So alcohol as well as heat. Freezing temps will also do that

Not quite BIFL, but I have a pair of Timberland boots that look a lot like that. Love them.

Will putting them outside at freezing temps help?

I liked my 20-teens Sony Walkman. Only stopped using it because of Spotify. Maybe a little less clean of a ui but for like $50 I would still be using it but for a better, different form of media player. That'd still affect my ipod classic, which I had to pay$100 to replace 3 times (and the 4th likewise lost headphone functionality).

honestly you can still buy an ipod nano or touch second hand and itll be a good option. they’re even getting more expensive as time goes on.

My partner has flat feet and needs a good sized heel to avoid pain. She tends to buy in the £60 range and unsurprisingly, the leather tears and the heels fall apart.
I've had my redwing for years but she won't let me stretch that far in price for her (noticed rhe pink tax on the womens vs mens 6" moc toe), and it's quite a struggle finding women's redwings in stores round here.
I've heard good things from solovaire as a better quality Docs style alternative but the heels are too low for her.
If there's any locals here with specific shop recommendations, we live near Manchester/Sheffield, and travel to Birmingham often
Thank you!

I have the same, it’s a classic! Need a new cord though, mine’s starting to pull apart….

Why the only one? I’d say it’s a pretty accurate example of the longevity of their products. Currently typing this on an iPhone 8 bought soon after release in 2017. Works just like brand new, though perhaps slightly reduced battery life.

I know you have to pick a category to post here, but seeing an iPod from 2009 listed as vintage makes me feel so old 😂. Im not even that old either

This is a complete lie.
Read about the case yourself. Don’t believe the spin.

Apple products are so good and last for years, I’ll never buy another apple product.
