Recently my dad was cleaning out his "junk drawer" when he found his old first gen iPod in his drawer he called me into the room and said, "you know what ill give you this iPod if, you find the charger, he didnt have one but i did because i collect every single apple product there is, so of course i took it and gave it a charge to see if it worked and it did, so now i have my own first gen iPod with my favorite music on it. I never knew that i would like an ancient iPod in my whole life.
I asked myself "How does one have a yt channel solely dedicated to iPods, surely youd run out of ideas." And then about 20 videos later I keep on watching lol. If you're passionate about something it truly shows
He does more than iPods now, although I do kinda wish he has more headphone reviews because I know the guy has headphones he has never shown us before.
My first ever smart phone!! If I could buy a perfect condition black iPhone 5 for $50- I’d be so happy. I’d just keep it in a slowly spinning glass cube for show, but It was the best looking iPhone ever.
Nice touch: when you mention the music getting interrupted by your phone ringing, you pause the music and Unpause around your mouth sounds, which is great attention to detail
@@satanspy There's so much mainstream garbage on youtube that gets millions of views, when people find an entertaining video with, decent production quality, from a niche channel, you are guaranteed to find the 'tHis NeEds MoRE VIewS' comments. Like... maybe some people still do youtube for fun and not the numbers?
Thank you for your videos. I get sick a lot lately and sometimes I just need a distraction from the pain while I'm in the bathroom with just my phone. I go on UA-cam and look for a video but everything is either too much stimulation (thinking too hard makes it hurt more) or not enough of a distraction (nothing to think about but the pain). This channel is the perfect middle ground. Almost every time it gets really bad, I'll end up on a video like this because I know it can keep me distracted for a few minutes with a new thing to look at every couple seconds and a jolly Australian guy who won't ask me to think too hard. This is a lifesaver sometimes
My first iPod (sob) was the 80g 5.5 and seriously, it got looks when I pulled it out in public, unfortunately, it died in a car crash and my heart was broken I replaced it with a 120g 6th gen (actually it was a gift) that I still use daily although the battery life ain't what it used to be, it doesn't matter, I use it when I'm in the car to listen to music, audiobooks and the occasional podcast
Hey same, went from an 80gb 5th gen to a 120gb 6th gen after it died. The 5th gen was the first ipod with a serious amount of storage space I had (after an 8gb touch) and I loved it. Great machine
I had an iPod touch and Zune HD in high school. The Zune was definitely better at music. Apps were lacking though and the Zune program was pretty awful. I always wished I could just use WMP to sync. That bad.
fullerSpectrum Hmm... might just have to look at some vids of the zune, but I will say: What Apple has lacked in functionality, it has made up for in looks and style.
I find it funny that I come back to some of the early videos like this, the Toohey's Extra Dry transparent speaker vid, and the opening iPods the wrong way vid every now and then. Still makes me laugh even after 3 years (which I just realized a bit before making this comment). I'd say they're Dank classics at this point.
Here's an idea for you to make the thickest iPod ever. Get an old full 3.5 IDE desktop hard drive and an apapter cable for the compact flash adapter and see if the iPod can use it as storage
Awesome! I still have a 2nd generation 20 gig! Sadly, it doesn’t boot anymore. I can still access it as an external drive on my old iMac. Perhaps I need to see if I can restore it to get it to work. Thanks for the great videos! Just awesome to see all of the old iPods. I have an 80 gig iPod video on my desk at work and one of those blue iPod mini 6 gigs in a desk drawer. They are all awesome!
This made me think of the energizer phone that was "in the works", looks like it didn't end up going anywhere but it would've been so impressive. Just a massive, blue brick with a screen and battery for days.
Man, you made me relive my nanos just out of nostalgia, I have four of them (1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th gen). I had to spend a whole day making iTunes work inside Linux. Good job man!
i don't know how i ended up here... but despite, hating apple, not owning an ipod, not needing an ipod and not having much interest in repairing electronics ive somehow watched 80% of your videos in the last 2 days. please stop making this look so much fun, I already have too many hobbies and not enough time or money. cheers
Watching your channel in the last few days has rekindled my love for ipods, so much so that I dug out my old shuffle and nano 4th gen to give them some much needed loving and attention... And some modern songs
after almost a year of watching this channel, i finally caved and got a 7th gen ipod classic!! i love it so much and getting it full is gonna take a while, lol
I've been an iPod user for 14 years, I've fixed and dabbled in them a bit. Before stumbling into this channel I hadn't met anyone who really remembered them for years.
@@DankPods okay first... WHAT THE FUCK. Second, Holy shit congratulations and third... WHY HAVE YOU LITERALLY MADE VIDEOS NOW?? SHOULD HAVE DONE IT A WHILE AGO
if memory serves , in the early 2000s to mid 2000s the ipods were very bulky and heavy and they gave you about 40 gigs storage. never bought one but i held a few and they were almost as heavy as my back Nikon camera . The FM-2 and 3 were the last totally mechanical cameras . All the pros liked them . top Nikon slr after the F3 became mostly electric/digital . if you ran out of juice out on location , you only had one shutter speed .well the meter in fm-2 was battery operated . but we knew our meter readings by heart anyway and used hand held meters too , so it was no big deal if your lighter meter died or broke if you had an all mechanical camera . For action with the long telephoto lenses pros and amateurs still use manual focus instead of auto focus . Irony is the manual hand and eye coordination is still faster and more accurate using manual focus with the telephoto lenses
Never have I ever: cared about what a content creator talked about, but *how* they talked. It's why I watch summoning salt. And It's why I watch you :)
So back in the day the brand new 3rd gen ipod had just come out, and my dad brought one home I immediately asked over and over for it, he gave me it, like he wasn't bothered, just found out he found it in a skip he was emptying one time, and didn't even know what it was haha
Me, who’s also an Aussie and watching this at 4am: **looking at the 1st and 2nd gen chunguses and thinking about how I’m gonna type this comment** … ok. These bad bois are T.H.I.C.C. af to the point where it could be possible to fit a cassette inside. Now. This may sound crazy but what if Apple made a portable tape player (basically a Walkman but obviously they would name it differently… AppleWalk? iTape?) with an LCD screen like the iPod and there would be trippy visuals like the ones in Windows Media Player to match the songs being played? 🤔😂😎 Edit: ok I googled about whether Apple did make tape players at some point and found out they made a cassette containing a game of Lemonade Stand… and I thought cassettes were used for storing audio **mindblown**
