I shudder to think what I’ll do when my 7th gen iPod Touch eventually gives up.

There is a website that sells refurbished iPods, including the Classic. They also include the chip on earlier models that supposedly sound better than the chip they started using in later years.
Looks like they have the Touch

As much as I like my 7th gen iPod Touch I would love to replace my departed 3rd gen iPod Nano in Mint Green. I LOVED that little gizmo! But would it even be compatible with the Music app on my M3 iMac? And that little guy was still using the 30-pin cable!

My ancient Classic still works no problem

Apple should make their macOS user-space file system APIs (FSKit, LiveFS, and UserFS) public at WWDC 2024.

Official user-mode filesystem support was mentioned in the Platforms State of the Union! No API documentation for it yet, though.

Edit: Found the documentation!

FSKit | Apple Developer Documentation

Implement a file system that runs in user space.

Eliminate curation of Photos (or at least capability to "opt out") basically revert back to iPhotos format

I want to get a pollen report in the Apple weather report. What runner with allergies wouldn’t want to know that before he goes for a run?

New CEO.

Short list:
Scott Forstall

Maybe then we can finally go back to all the Skeumorphism. 😂😂

Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything stopping them from bringing stage manager to the current A17Pro based iPhones. Doesn’t really require an “M” chip, especially since the A17 is almost approaching the M1, in terms of performance

Well this was spot on 😀👏 (in terms of the chip performance that is, not windowed apps / stage manager coming to iPhone when docked, sadly 😢)

You know how big the M chips are, no? In previous years usually the M chips were designed alongside the A chips, with the former usually being the groundwork, not the other way around.

Well, nevermind. It turns out that the A series chips are performant enough to power a MacBook, and iPadOS windowing runs on even older A series chips, so an iPhone Pro should be perfectly capable of doing so too!
