Holy crap, those things were around when I was seven! If you’re 19, you would’ve been 3-4 :)
i remember having the 7th gen ipod touch for my 16th birthday (c. 2021), but idk what happened to it. i did manage to find a cheap one on ebay or smth for $75.
My oldest device was the iPhone 5s that I got for my thirteenth birthday. I remember no longer using it by the time I was 16 and had the iPhone X and later selling it.
I try to be high-tech, so my oldest electronic is the 2024 iPhone 16.
See if it has contact details and try to return it to the person. They will likely tell you to keep it. If you do due diligence to take the moral high ground, in my life experience it will really help define your character for years to come.
Finding something like this seems like a treasure at first. At your young age Rico, you likely do not see the ethics very clearly, at least when I was your age, I certainly did not have a very good moral compass in an area like this.
Over time, if you just keep it, you will experience losses in life where you will remember what actions you took and likely judge yourself accordingly. This is one of those rare circumstances that is likely to stick in your memory for far longer than the noise of daily life in strange ways. In the decades to come, this perspective will take on more meaning. Don’t be too disappointed either way. This advice may be of greater value in the end. Trust me, I’ve gone both ways on the issue and experienced the loss. Doing the right thing for a stranger is ultimately a gift to yourself.
oh, it belongs to my father :) He said i could keep it
Very cool. Have fun with it. There are probably some fun hack uses for one of these if you look around. If I recall correctly these things have an actual hard drive inside them, at least the early ones did. That was before large flash memory was an affordable thing.
im not sure, this one i have is 08 so it may have the hard drive
edit: nvm, only the veeery old ipods have the hard drive, so ipod touch uses flash
only Google works on the ipod
