Honestly, I tried swapping the battery on my old iPod mini last weekend, and the whole thing was a mess. People online make it sound so easy, but I cracked the case prying it open, and then the new battery didn't even fit right without shaving down the plastic. I ended up with a bricked iPod that won't charge now. Has anyone else had a simple project turn into a total failure like this?
I was at a coffee shop last Tuesday and this guy next to me said his old iPod classic has never crashed on him once. Meanwhile my Spotify app glitched out three times just trying to play a playlist. Made me think - maybe all this cloud stuff isn't actually better. I still use an old flip phone for calls, anyone else find newer tech just adds more frustration than value?
