      because we’re in an era where iPad kids have grown up and now they’re all on a binge to either use old tech or get rid of it completely (dumb phones, etc)

      also I’m not sure why you’ve been downvoted so heavily for just asking a question. I would assume most people listen to music on their phone.

      maybe they downvoted you cause they wish they had an iPod nano?

      IDK why you feel that way. But I don’t know you inside and out, like Google or Apple does.

        Oh, they don’t. And even if they did, carrying a second device wouldn’t stop them.

      To give a serious answer to this; I love using an iPod because it’s not a multipurpose device. I can put music on and not get distracted by notifications, or tempted to open any socials apps. It’s a far more zen experience.

      When I go on runs I don’t want to be carrying a phone.

        I barely feel the weight of my phone when running but alternatively my watch (Garmin) has an offline music player.

          Its lighter and the size of an ipod nano. And I don’t care if it is dropped or breaks and there’s nothing important on it.
