Long live the iPod.
It saved Apple, and is a timeless product line that I hope will continue to live on as enthusiasts maintain it when Apple doesn't.
Like the newton, which does still have a dedicated user base
@@tntisbased Well I mean, the modding community for old consoles is real. It's amazing how much love is poured into these things by their community.

@Crzh i approve of this message
I'll never again get the "holy shit I'm living in the future!" feeling that getting that first Touch gave me. The normal pods were neat but that touch, man...blew my mind.
mann I remember first exploring the app store on my iPod Touch 2g, back before all free games were riddled with adds but just had a lite version and a paid version... good times! It really blew everything else out of the water at the time.
Some other company might create something futuristic too and have that impact on you again. Don’t underestimate nobody
Though I have many things I hate about Bluetooth earphones I still got that feeling when I turned noise cancelling on for the first time on a quality pair.
Oh right, VR too. That shits fucking insane man
@@archkull Never tried VR lol but noise cancelling headphones did kinda have a huge impact on my day to day life so you have a point there.
You can wear them in public and people leave you tf alone, they help you sleep with noisy AC, sometimes you simply want silence, etc.
10:42 (27 seconds of finger snapping) This is why I’m a patron. This is why we pay you the big bucks! Lol but I’m being dead serious mate thank you for being the way you are and letting us in on it. I feel so proud to be supporting this brand of shenanigans.
Not to mention gloved, so the rubbery *smek smek smek smek*

This is the Penultimate DankPods Episode.
It has everything. A classic pod, AA’s, the fashionable gloves, a struggle to work on said pod, yelling, OH MY PKCELL, Shrek, Scarlet Fire, and the Sexy Speaker. All the classics.
“Penultimate” means next/second to last.
@@otmalum I realize that now… I’ve used it wrong for years apparently.
I think the word you're looking for is prototypical, or more informally peak
@@St0rmcrash Thank you. TIL I’ve been using that word wrong for years.
@@JunkHeapProductions thought of an even more fitting word, quintessential
I’ll never forget the first time I used an iPod Video as a child and it just “clicked.” The whole UI was perfect, 60GB was a mind boggling capacity at the time, and the ability to watch movies on a device in my hands was crazy. I then got a third gen Nano soon afterwards and fell in love. There was something so charismatic about them.
The 3rd gen nano does have a particularly appealing design.

This comment got me good
I'm a chef in the Netherlands. Can't tell you how amazing it is to come home from a 12-14 hour shift, light up a reefer, kick back my legs and chuckle at a new dankpods video. Keep up the good work bud

Plugging in an old MP3 player and seeing its slow battery screen has the same feeling as when you squish a bug, and watching it twitch and try to stay alive. It just makes you feel bad for the poor thing.

The iPod was like one of those elderly celebrities that you had assumed were already dead because you hadn't heard about them in ages and you are surprised to see that they weren't when they announce that they actually finally died. RIP iPod!
Without the iPod there would be no iPhone. We owe a lot to the iPod and seeing it go is so sad especially for us who have used one before. The new generation will never realized how much it impacted our lives. May the iPod Rest In Peace and may the music live on.
@Orkhiss if apple didn’t do it someone else would have. We were always headed in this trajectory.
The ipod was a big thing. It holds itself without the 'pre-iphone' comparison

@@swiftrealm i know, id rather insult it than start an actual argument by replying with a rebuttal
I was born in 2001, so I literally cannot think of a point in my life that didn’t exist without the iPod. To me, i’m now living in a post iPod world.
man before your time we had MP3 players but that were tiny and jank.
even before that re had cassette players and CD players....those were huge and either bad sound quality or prone to skipping.
it sucked. the Ipod WAS a gamechanger.
@@Matanumi oh boy, the cd player days make me shudder, struggling to use it during a road trip or any place that had slight movement, but the silver lining would be burning my favorite songs onto cds and trying to fit all the names on the front of the disc

Rest in peace iPod. We had a good run , all those boring 2+ hours car drives were made fun because of you. Im sure you found a place in the tech equivalent to heaven , and you found a place in our hearts.
I would LOVE it if they eventually come out with an OG style iPod with Wi-Fi, and ample SSD space. Also I love your humor. Always giving me a good laugh!
Ironically, touch screens have gotten so refined now that it's probably more expensive for them to make something like an iPod touch with real buttons and controls than it would be to make an iPod classic
I love how with each passing video, you screaming about "AA's!" gets progressively more higher and absurd.
Genuinely one of my favourite gags.
PSA: DON'T use skimpy retractable cables!!!! They're almost always junk and oftentimes cause sync/restores to fail
I just wish more companies (or any really) would make a good quality retractable cable. They're awesome for travel, never tangles but can be long enough to actually be useful if you need it to be. Had one nice one from years ago that finally died.
@@Lizlodude do you know what brand that cable was?
@@gingerale1591 probably an anker
I think that the reason why is because of the inductance in the cable, when it’s in coil form it messes up the digital, but can still charge
@@MaxSolar-dd5wq it's the ultra thin wire gauge that's the issue. I've had restores fail regardless of whether the cord was retracted or fully extended
amazing vid - love the content. long live the iPod that got me and many others into digital music after the CD and may it continue with the Audio Renaissance that you mention !

Wade, I love hearing you laugh at yourself describing how you made a living before CZcams took off for you. It's not belittling or self deprecating. Instead it's the raw embodiment of your pride in yourself and love for the community you've built. Keep laughing. Every time you think of how you got paid shit for a gig, and had to flip nuggets and dinguses (dingi?) on ebay to make ends meet. Keep laughing. It's a well deserved laugh.

Great vid! All the greatest hits are here guys: Actual ipod repair attempt, nugget that wont work, obscure nugget, cashies mention, bluetooth mode, my puk cell, scarlett fire, Shrek and Frank. Nice one mate!
This is one of your best episodes by far and I would love to see you work on more iPods! That Fiio at the end seems like jus the type of product I would love, and if they were to add in cell connectivity then I would be blasting out the tunes on Tidal all the time, no matter where I am.
Thank you DankPods for everything you do! always enjoy your videos!
Watching dankpods talk about the IPod like it's an old mate is gonna make me cry. We must protect him and the bois at all costs
Idk if anyone noticed this, but without the iPod, dankpods might never have existed. This isn't only a rip video, but a thank you video. Granted, yes dankmus exists, but thanks Apple, for giving us all this gem of a channel.
the secondhand embarrassment I felt reading this is staggering

Dankpods was partly the reason why I started to collect and maintain/work on my PSPs. Thank you dude for bringing new life to older electronics that need to be appreciated all over again.
Man, the nostalgia. My first digital player was a 30gb iPod Video back in 2006. I loaded that baby up with all kinds of music, anime episodes and AMVs, and rocked it back in high school. It was an absolute godsend during those hour long, boring bus rides to/from school everyday. It just felt so amazing having all that packed into one tiny device and being able to take it anywhere.
I have an iPhone now, but it just doesn’t compare to that absolutely magical feeling from back then. I still have my newer iPod, but these days since the iPhone does everything, I really only use it when I want my full mp3 library.
Rip iPod, you will be missed.
Great memories of trying to explain to my maths teacher aged 14ish that yes putting back together the 5th gen iPod I had dropped on the floor was more important than her algebra. It still works today, 2005 model. RIP ipod 💙
You made the correct choice
i’ll always remember the nostalgia from opening up my moms ipod and listening to her playlists while on road trips
Did you find her ‘to listen while touching yourself inappropriately’ playlist?
@@Vexxel256 ayo?
same but it was my dad's
After coming across your channel by accident I have watched a few videos, but very grateful as my iPod video 80gb was not charging, I have never used any particular charger and just thought it had died, but after watching one of your videos I bought a original FireWire charger that had the original usb/FireWire cable. I only paid £10 from eBay in the uk. It has revived it so I want to thank you.👍
I've never been an Apple kid, but I do understand how it feels when a beloved device gets discontinued. especially if it left that big of an impact and lasted so long.
Honestly 21 years of support is kinda amazing in the world we live in today.
This isn't about support.
it stopped releasing new models years ago.
I thought they stopped making them five years ago

@@DocTime56 In the before times...
I really have enjoyed my iPod, despite being an impossible to open 6th gen that has drive issues.
I’ve been using that thing more than any streaming at this point, there’s something about having a music collection that just appeals more to me
Tbf I’d still call streaming having a collection, main difference is how you pay
@@monhi64 nah, they can pull the rug from under your feet on a streaming service, the artist might decide to delete his own songs from the service, or he might get banned (for some reasons) etc., I use both an ipod and CZcams music for music, but I always make sure to have an offline copy of whatever I listen to.
@@pietrocavicchioli6128 couldn’t agree more, and I’d much rather be supporting an artist instead of a a faceless company
@@adrianfernandez7930 for me it’s a convenience and music-discovery thing. i have never found as many new artists and songs as i have using pandora and now spotify. if it goes away, i’ll adapt. this is just how i feel tho.
@@AlexisTwoLastNames I think the most ethical and easy way to listen to music these days is to use a streaming service for most of your music listening, and if you decide you want to support the artist buy a record or tee shirt or concert tickets. Unfortunately the old business model for music is dead.
I was really waiting for you to make a video on this. RIP iPod 2001-2022.
That’s a really cool midnight iPod classic you have at the end. I like the even older ones with monochrome screen, easier to work on. Upgraded a few with 64GB flash cards, 3rd gen, 4th gen, and iPod mini. I never could find a “broken” 5th gen that wasn’t truly broken (like the one you showed). And my “iPod touch” is (and will continue to be) my previous iPhone with SIM card removed.
iPod, you will be missed and remembered. Not just as a music player but a beautiful nugget who has found it’s way into our hearts. You saved apple, but we could not save you. You advanced our technology so far you carried the iPhone into the world, and now it has killed you. This tragic loss will always be remembered. Never forget the IPod, Rest In Peace
It's not really so much a killing, but It's sort of a grandfather scenario.
Yes, ONLY the iPhone. It's not the reason the modern phone exists though
you actually convinced me to buy an ipod nano last year, and this has been one of the best things i ever had, i use it almost everyday and the battery lasts for 3 days straight, so thanks dank, thanks frank, and long live the ipod
Now they will break software support...
@@zakofrx nah i don't think they will, this is apple we're talking about, they still support the 1st gen ipod in finder, this isn't microsoft trying to erase the zune from people's minds
Lucky with the battery. My 1st gen nano died a few years ago.
@@streamkeynanie Yeah, they wanted it to be here as long as possible but nobody bought it
I bought one of those touches after your video about it being the new Classic, and it was the first iPod I ever got. I got in towards the end, but I love my iPod - and will keep it up and running as long as I can. Also looking forward to getting a Classic 160 GB. This is the beginning of an entire underground segment for Pods
I bought a iPod 5th gen and flashed modded it all thanks to you. Best way to listen to music for sure. Thanks for an amazing creator and RIP the iPod.

Go sir in the name of the Craig, Craig, and holy Craig.
Ah, I remember my first and only iPod. My brother bought me a 20GB 3rd generation iPod for Christmas. I was blown away.
I used it for many years, and even as the battery started getting old, I had the thing hooked up to an iHome alarm clock with a dock. (That thing was sweet.) Too bad the iPod crashed more and more as it aged - I couldn't rely on it to wake me up in the morning. 😂
Thanks for the video! Brings back good memories.
A truly sad time we live in.

The iPod was forever my favorite device, the small but strong iPod I had gave me happiness. My space gray 2019 iPod will forever be in my heart, and so will my first one.
Edit: I am glad that EOE exists, I honestly thought I would never see a iPod again. I’m willing to pay as much as possible just to have happiness from a nugget.
For years I rocked the iPod Nano 2 with a 3rd party case with a small carabiner clip. I would clip it on to one of my belt loops and let the music play; I also heard my first audiobook on it (Harry Potter 1 or Brisingr, can't remember which).
What's EOE? When I google it, it only comes up with Eosinophilic Esophagitis.

@@tachobrenner Ngl, I was only half paying attention as I'm coincidentally in the middle of arduously dragging folders into CopyTrans to sync onto a 4th gen iPod touch that arrived today. (It stalled when I tried to add everything at once and sync, so it's add 5 folders, wait, hit "update," wait; repeat >.< ) Thanks, though!
My first one was the 7th Jen na no I still have it I got it when I was 5
hey dank pods i love your channel i hope you will continue it and you could do off brands still you have made me happy when i was sad in times just watching your videos made me feel better thank you i hope you keep the channel alive

After seeing that absolutly stripped screw on the funeral pod, I just gotta say this:
*PLEASE USE JIS SCREWDRIVERS, NOT PHILIPS*
JIS is the standard that pretty much all consumer electronics use (if they're not using some other anti-repair nonsense like tri-wing or torx) and the only difference between JIS and philps is that the screw heads are shallower than philips, and the screwdrivers are blunter than philips.
Meaning that if you use a philips screwdriver on a JIS screw; the connection will be loose and you're more likely to strip the screw in the attempt to unscrew
but what does jis mean?
Japanese Industrial Standard. The screwdrivers have characteristics that separate them from Philips screwdrivers
Torx is Superior
Oohh that's why it always seems right to grind a bit off of a Philips driver, else it just doesn't sit deep enough. Thank you! :)
man i love this channel so much
RIP ipod. You were my savour through year 11/12 and my college and early 20s . rest up my friend you've earned your place in the 💞
i will give jobs this, he knew how to find various existing elements and have his tech teams combine them into things even the most tech challenged could use.
That was one of the reasons I products never appealed to me. I wanted to fully customize the ui and wallpapers like it was a winamp skin and the early apple products were adverse to that.
Man, I just bought a nano 7 and I've been using it all the time in the car (because I don't like paying monthly for streaming services). Even before I got my first phone, I used an iPod (also a nano 7) to listen to the radio on the bus. I can't believe it's discontinued now. Rest in peace iPod. You did good.
I got a classic 7th gen and it's the first Apple I got
The iPod may have died, but it will always live in our hearts
I had one in my Amazon cart for a few days, but after watching this video literally 5 times, bought it as a nostalgia purchase. Damn you waddddeeeeeeee (keep up the good work mate love your stuff)

So sad that the iPod had to be killed off, you were the reason I started liking iPods and why I basically daily drive an iPod Touch 1G as my secondary music player/old iOS game thingo. R.I.P 2001-2002

Hey DankPods I bought the kz zsn pro headphones and they are really good, thanks for the recommendation!
fking love u, thx for existing in the same space-time as me.
I never thought I'd see Dank doing Hylics gestures in an attempt to revive an iPod, but here we are. It's a sad day, the end of an era. Rest in peace iPod, even if that one iPod Touch 4G I bought was a pain in the butt and ruined Christmas for me trying to jailbreak it and utterly died after I finally found a use for it, while my Sony Walkman still lives on. I'm sure the classic ones were much less of a pain.
This episode felt like a blast from the past of the old ipod dingus videos, absolutely amazing.
When something/someone we love dies, they are never dead.
*They are dead when they are forgotten. We'll miss you dearly and will remember you deep in our hearts. You have not died, just yet iPod....*
This. This is what Apple was thinking when they said that the music still lives on.
I use iPods every day, and have for many years. It's lovely to leave the phone at home sometimes, or have a device that's only for listening to music. That focus has been helpful for how I live and work. Thanks to your channel, I've been able to keep them working. Long live the iPod!
I felt the same way when my Zune 30 died (bought it for $20 at a flea market last year). I still have multiple iPod Nanos (3rd gen 8GB, 8GB 4th- and 5th-gen) and two Shuffles (blue 2nd and Space Gray 4th generation) and they're all working fine. Very surprised none of the Nanos have swollen batteries yet since I always keep their brightness levels at ZERO and Cover Flow (among other useless settings) disabled after seeing your helpful vid called "The iPod Nano stinks." or something like that.
not sure if it exists on modern DAPs or mp3 players. but something the ipod/itunes did beautifully is how it managed and synced music and playlists(mainly playlists) , you can be on your laptop or desktop listening to your ipod through itunes and create playlists on the fly (while listening though your huge library you dumped on your ipod) then pickup and go without waiting to export or resync the playlist and fine tune that playlist on any computer with itunes at school, work, home. your customized music experience is always with you, even in bed, which was great about the ipod classic with the click wheel; you knew what to push without looking at the ipod!
thank you for not letting the iPod get all the credit and spotlight
Literally watching this on my iPod Touch 7th gen.
Also, in requiem of the iPod, I shall now recite my many iPods, and their deaths.
1. iPod Nano 2nd gen (died when my dad overcharged it)
2. iPod nano 4th gen (victim of the black spot, now lives in a glass jar)
3. iPod Classic 5th gen (dropped twice, capacitors by the dock on the mobo broke off, rendering the motherboard useless, couldn’t find a replacement)
4. iPod Touch 3rd gen (given to me by my dad, lives in a drawer rarely used)
5. iPod Touch 3rd gen (given to me by my step mom IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN *iHOME*)
6. iPod Touch 7th gen (Bought by me, dropped by me and dented the frame, got it fixed, then bought another one from the same place and exactly the same one LITERALLY A MONTH BEFORE THE IPOD WAS DISCONTINUED.)
iPod Touch 7th gen “PuffPod 7” [current one] (still being used, lives in an otter box case, and again, watching this very video on it.)
Contributing:
1. 32GB iPod Classic: had a spot but nothing too serious, emptied it out of videos to make space for a growing music collection; was phased out in favor of a freshly launched 5th Gen iPod Touch, nothing wrong with it (the Classic) except that the battery was lasting three days or less between charges; attempted to give new life to it last year but it was already cooked beyond repair
2. 5th Gen iPod Touch: battery charging connector stopped working, headphone jack stopped working previously; hardware is in one piece, bloody thing was properly taken care of and was placed on a case (and a screen protector) from the very first day
3. 7th Gen iPod Touch: bought last Black Friday so no issues with it yet; was given a spare screen protector from the 5th Gen as well as its case (although replacements may be procured)
I think i only had 1 ipod died and it was my shuffle 2nd gen, i lost it and haven’t seen it for like god knows how long

It's been so long since you did these ipod videos
You know, I may get an iPod Touch when they're clearing it out and just...not open it, just keep one sealed as a collectors item, cause the iPod Touch was kind of my first portible media player if you don't count portible game systems like the DS, DSi and 3DS (the latter of which I lost, incidentally.). I have a personal connection to the iPod and it will be mourned heavily by me. It's never fun to see something from your childhood die. I'm still trying to adjust to a world without Qubo, and will be sorely underprepaired for that dark day when we lose Spongebob.
also I now want a Fiio because I actually don't like apple too much, and I want *POWER*

I still remember when I got an iPod 4th generation with the click wheel. I got it months after I got a CD player but I used it way more than my CD player ever did. The hard drive broke twice before Apple replaced it with a 5th Gen iPod that my sister ended up using and I got the 5.5th Gen iPod Video in black for Christmas in 2006. Good times before the iPhone became a thing.
Amazing seeing the og style dank videos

May the iPod rest in peace. At least you will see your father Steve after 10 years
My mum who worked in music owned two iPods, I didn’t know what they were for since I was growing up during the birth of the iPhone and it was just disused gadgets living in a drawer but I remember playing Vortex and a gun turret game (I don’t remember what it was called) the clickwheel really fascinated younger me and eventually one day after coming home from primary school my mum sat me and my sister down in my bedroom and opened up a shiny iPod Touch, I was bedazzled by how thin and sleek it was and it was always with us hooked up to some dinky aux attachment on long car journeys across the countryside and I remember hours of playing Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja despite kids around me having giant iPads.
It’s a shame the iPod’s legacy couldn’t live on today even after I discovered DankPods and found a new appreciation for the iPods that were so foreign to me.
Rest in peace iPod, you paved the way for the iPhone and the golden years of Apple.
listening to my mom's ipod classic is what made me fall in love with music, and my much later ipod touch made me fall in love with technology. rip buddy, you had a good run.
Best thumbnail ever Dankpods has made.
