So I have a Gen 1 - Week 1 iPod Touch. Yesterday the home button decided to stop working. When I say stop working I mean I can press it down, hear the click buttons make when pressed and then nothing happens.
This has to be the most annoying this I've experienced. Everything works - It's just that when I want to switch an app, I need to restart the iPod.
I called Apple Care and they pretty much laughed in my face when I asked help. Being 180 days out of warranty. They also told me it would be cheaper to buy a new one.
My problem is that I am planning on buying an iPhone in a few months. (whenever the next refresh is.) I don't really want to spend $200 on an iPod that will only get a few months of use.
What are my options here? Am I expecting too much of Apple to ensure a year and a half old product works after being treated well? I've spent over $4,000 in their store over the last year. Should I be worried about all of those products breaking in a year and a half? (Not trolling, Venting)
