It wouldn't be a problem, except the fact that they no longer produce any apps that are compatible with lower than ios 7. That is the problem. It would be wonderful if I could still enjoy my ipod and download things that I might enjoy. Unfortunately, Apple is only catering to people who are buying newer products and not concerned with customers from early years. So basically they are saying, hey you haven't spent nearly enough money on us in recent years, so it's time for an upgrade or you're screwed. Have fun with that!!! It's very frustrating!!!!! 😟
