I'm seeing a lot of 'New in box iPod Gen 6 Nano sealed' listings on eBAY, from sellers with high reputations. They are photographed within the original plastic cases.. It surprises me that there would be so many of these, given the devices' likely ages (it was discontinued Sept. 2012, so these should be over a decade old). Is there a reason so many are available? I ask become I'm wondering if they're legit.
Also, if I do get one, from what I've read online, it's easy to confirm if it is a real iPod: The fakes won't sync to iTunes. Is that correct?
I have both a Gen 7 and a Gen 6, and the Gen 7 has far surperior functionality. However, the Gen 6 has one clear advantage: They switched to an inferior DAC on the Gen 7, and the Gen 6 thus sounds better with music.
I was wondering what the battery life would be like in a new decade-old iPod, but the life is fine in my Gen 6, so hopefully that in an unused one should be good as well.
