    Stupid decision, Tim. The shuffle is the only iPod I consider reasonable to wear during exercise and the best version of the shuffle used to be the one with a bigger clip!

    On occasion, when Apple screws up this should be seen as a clear opportunity for their competition.
    I would LOVE if everyone at the gym used the shuffle.  Really I would.  The reality though is that everyone uses their iPhone, and irritatingly monopolizing workout benches while doing nothing but texting and yapping on their phone.  It pisses me off to the nth degree!  I miss the days where people would just exercise while listening to music.

    I recently bough a shuffle for my mom after she bought a new 2016 Ford and loaded all her music on it and left it plugged into the car's stereo so she never has to use her iPhone to connect to her music.  These little devices were perfect for that.  Makes me wonder if I should do the same, albeit I'll gravitate back to using my iPhone.

    It's like saying "goodbye" to an old friend.  They certainly were the jewel of Apple back in the day.
    I hear you on people using their phones to text, talk, etc. while taking up space on a machine or workout area.  Drives me bat shit bonkers.  It's discourteous to those who are there to do what we're supposed to do in a gym.

    I use the shuffle and the nano while in the gym because of their size and convenience.  Once mine die that means I've gotta lug my iPhone 7+ around with it strapped to my arm like a douche bag?  This sucks.
