And if you have your own\u00a0aging iPod laying around, OWC might be able to help <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/search\/ipod+battery\">breath some new life into it<\/a>\u00a0and join the craze.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0if you miss this opportunity to benefit, maybe be sure you hang on to that\u00a0iPod touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2014\/12\/10\/ipod-classic-value\/\">http:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2014\/12\/10\/ipod-classic-value\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, I wrote about the death of my beloved iPod Classic.
