Yes. Most of the tweaks slow down my shit however. The iPod I have is 4th gen. I need an upgrade. Thinking about getting an iPad with iOS 7.1.2 on it.

Once you go Refurb you never go back

5th Gen iPod touch 64gig for $230

I don't like spending full price on stuff. Just check out the "Certified Refurbished/Deals" page of Apple when buying anything Apple.

Or buy used from a trusted retailer. I don't like buying second hand though.

I always buy from Apple, except for my phone. That was from Verizon and was cheaper, but with a contract. I'm not the one that's paying for the service so all I ended up paying for is the phone really.

Thanks for the link to this page btw.

I'm a fan of technology and buy what I can if it fits my needs. Apple is a pretty decent brand so I try to buy things for as cheap as I can without gimping on things.

I personally don't like the iPhone and I'm not sure if they sell refurbished iPhones but when it comes to iPads, Macs, and iPods they sell them in that version of the store for cheaper mind you they are refurbished. I bought my Macbook Pro through the refurbished store and it looked and felt brand new.

eBay has pretty good deals, especially around the new iPhone release. If you're smart about who you buy from there, you can find good used products.

But sometimes they're shit. I bought a seller-refurbished iPad mini off of eBay, and at first it worked amazingly. After a while, though, it would start to misbehave and register touches when I wasn't doing anything. I could open up Notes and the iPad would just start to type nonsense and occasionally spaz out and crash out of the app.

Damn. Yeah I try to not take risks like that. My local news station has a "Classifieds" section that is like Craigslist in a way so I usually buy used through that service. My friend had a similar issue with her new iPhone so it probably wasn't the sellers fault, but it does suck that the screen went to fritz.

I don't really mind all that much. It was a really good deal and the occasional glitching is entertaining when I'm trying to enter in the Wi-Fi password and my iPad decides it needs more spaces and a few random symbols.

You've reset the device completely right? I had my iPod freak out once and I just reset the firmware and DIDN'T restore from backup and it fixed my interface freaking out. You probably have already but I though I should just bring it up just in case.

Yeah, it's been updated before. It maybe happens...every 1 out of 30 uses, so it's not occurring often enough or long enough for me to throw it.

If it was new when I bought it, I would have been pissed. But it clearly said user refurbished, so...

OKAY, it's been updated. The new typing is weird. It looks like something to get used to

See? I told you you'd be fine.

Btw, it wasn't even Steve Job's fault. He didn't create iOS 7 and 8.

Way to insult a dead guy man.
