My 3rd Generation iPod touch has been very reliable for the past few years, but recently I've been noticing a decrease in its battery life. The battery will now, on a full charge, last about 4 hours on continuous usage. Is this normal? I recall it lasting longer before.
Thanks!
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.4
Very likely that the barger is wearing out. That happens with time/charge/discharge cycles. 4 hours is standar for an old iPod like yurs.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
A third-party place like the following will replace the battery for less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. Yo can purchase a replacement for about $10
