After a $90 battery replacement, it still works fine and does everything it did in 2010. I also have a 2021 iPad Pro because it does things the iPad 1 won't or can't do. My choice, not Apples.

And of course, Apple is in business to make money. One way to make money is to entice people to constantly upgrade their phones, by offering new features Apple hopes they will want. Apple is very good at that.

That's called capitalism. There are a LOT of other phone companies and anyone can buy a phone from any of them. That too is called captialism
I'm looking for a battery replace for my 4th generation I pod, who did yours?
