Belkin Updates Cases for New iPods

Belkin Updates Cases for New iPods

Never far behind the Apple iPod train with new accessories, Belkin on Wednesday announced a new line of cases for the iPod Nano 4G and iPod Touch 2G, devices that that were announced by Apple only a day earlier. The cases announced include many versions of Belkin’s existing designs that have been tweaked for the new, slightly modified devices.

 Belkin will offers its Sport Armband Plus, along with an array of two-tone silicone cases, a remix metal case, a clear acrylic case, a pull-tab leather holster, leather sleeve and folio designs, and their faux-leather eco-conscious equivalents. Every case will be available for both the iPod touch 2G and nano 4G, with some also adapted for the so-called iPod classic 2G, Apple’s latest variant of the traditional iPod.

Wasting no time, Belkin hopes to debut the cases in mid-September across the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. They will retail for prices between $15 and $30.

It’s the end of the road for these two iPhone models
Apple iPhone 6S Plus

Seeing your favorite handheld gaming device in a retro store has a unique way of making you feel old, but Apple might have topped it. According to the company, the iPhone XS Max and iPhone 6s Plus are now "vintage." They join the ranks of the iPhone 4 and even the iPad Pro 12.9-inch model.

It's not wholly unexpected. Apple declares a device vintage after five years, and that means it becomes more difficult to have that device repaired or to find replacement parts for it. Obsolete is applied to products that are more than seven years old, but sometimes certain variants get that label early.

Even though Apple has launched the iPhone 16, last year's model isn't going anywhere yet. In fact, the iPhone 15 is now a better buy than ever since Apple is selling it at a lower price — and you can find even deeper discounts online and from many carriers.

The iPhone 15 marked a watershed transition in Apple's standard iPhone lineup. It was a significant jump ahead of its 2022 predecessor, packing in the most significant camera improvements for a standard model since the iPhone 11 adopted the dual-lens camera design in 2019. That put it ahead of its time, and it's still a compelling choice against this year's iPhone 16, especially if Apple Intelligence isn't your cup of tea.
