Apple launched a replacement program for the iPod Nano 1st Generation back in 2011, a bit strange considering this model was released in 2005 – meaning there was a 6 year delay in launching such program. The reason for the launch of this replacement program was that Apple realised that under certain circumstances albeit rare – the battery can overheat and be a potential safety risk (basically explode!).
The OnePlus Watch 2 is touted for having incredible battery life for a Wear OS watch, and that saved me when I forgot the charger on a trip.
Vision Pro is here and it’s a surprisingly capable device. Apple has also loaded the headset with a ton of options and features that aren’t obvious at first glance.

A Nano 7th for Nano 1st? Nice swap out, wish I had one of these old iPods lying around!
I literally got my replacement nano right around the time they discontinued the program! I feel pretty lucky.
"The reason for the launch of this replacement program was that Apple realised that under certain circumstances albeit rare – the battery can overheat and be a potential safety risk (basically explode!)."
wait so apple knew people were buying a product that could possibly explode and offered no course to reimberse the customer forcing him to buy a new one instead of keeping the few customers it would happen to happy. just shows you what they think of their fanbase.
Somehow never heard about this before I read this article 2 days ago. Have been using my Nano 1st generation for working out for years. Called Sunday night and got bumped up to a senior advisor and they said they couldn't help me. Decided to try again in the morning and BAM sent it away yesterday all postage paid and waiting for my new 7th Generation. Wooooo
