Apple popularised two things that bug the shit out of me in addition to everything you said. “on iPhone” “on iPad” just sounds utterly wrong. It needs to be “on the iPhone” “on the iPad”. Now everyone is doing it.

The other is " breathlessly we’re excited to announce/we’re excited to share with you/we’re excited!!!big fucking cheesy grin". The whole point of having that whole “excited” or whichever adjective you want at that point of the sentence is to prep you and let you know what you’re supposed to feel. If it’s that good surely you shouldn’t have to tell me what I need to feel.

Oh balls.

Ragdoll hilarity every game too. Great fun.

80gig 5th gen, doesn’t appear to be the 5.5 gen. I think it should have the space but like you I can’t see it running down the battery for most of my usage cases so figured why complicate it at least for the first upgrade.

I have ordered an iflash card, 128gb micro SD card, clear front and blue (the shiny electric blue)back for the initial transplant. I’m thinking the slightly bigger battery (850mah?) rather than the 1800-3000mah ones at the moment.

Heard that 3000mah is wishful thinking for most of those advertised as such so need to investigate that a bit more.

Neat! Your original post about upgrading your iPod sent me down a rabbit hole of AliExpress mod parts so this is nicely timed for post upgrade. Thanks for sharing.

No, it was more for the joke but I was able to figure out roughly what it was before actually googling it to check which was nice.

I understood that!

Duolingo, you son of a bitch you’ve done it again!
