iPod Nano Replacement (1st gen)

Just incase anyone is still wondering, Apple is indeed replacing affected 1st gen nanos with (probably refurb) current "LCD postage stamp" nanos, sans accessories.

If you have one, you can check to see if it's affected here.

A potentially not good battery issue was identified with a batch of them, so they're replacing them rather than repair them, as it's cheaper to just send out a new one.

They didn't strictly have to replace them, but that's just how Apple rolls.

I see you had yours replaced, but I wonder how many people still have those? I know I went through iPods like candy.

My thoughts exactly. Tbh- I don't even recall what happened with my old iPods. I didn't sell them and didn't throw them out. Since my iPod touch, last gen nano, last gen shuffle and iPhone, I'm good for now!
