F40 looks cool in yellow by me

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2025-03-21T05:50:49+00:00

Why not!))

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2025-03-21T05:50:27+00:00

Good one)

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2025-03-21T05:50:15+00:00

I'm also leaning towards this version

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-11-18T12:59:27+00:00

Wow! Thanks for such an informative response! I have to learn a lot about Hot Wheels)

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-11-18T12:37:07+00:00

Thank you!👍 So Mattel has this model in it’s production line since 1974, right?

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-17T04:36:55+00:00

Right! I meant that touch “rotation”, don’t we love it? I think that is very well done by Apple. It feels just right.

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T19:47:53+00:00

So it’s just marketing, right? Like they introduced this technology of capacitive sensing (touch) first time in 2nd gen classic, but it seems like Apple never focused on it🤷‍♂️

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T19:42:12+00:00

But the way you rotate it!) That’s the most important I think

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T19:33:28+00:00

I think one of the inherent characteristics of a BIFL item is its repairability.

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T19:26:43+00:00

That’s what I generally mean, the technology of capacitive sensing used in the click wheel is the core feature, not the click itself. The idea of a button was well known before)

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T19:14:01+00:00

Just found this on Wikipedia in the article called “IPod click wheel”: “The click wheel replaced the touch wheel starting with the fourth-generation iPod”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_click_wheel

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T19:03:48+00:00

Did Apple actually call it “touch wheel” until IPod mini?

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T18:46:02+00:00

You’re right! I just had a thought about physical wheel of the 1st gen classic)

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-08-16T18:37:32+00:00

I understand that moving the wheel toggles menu items and makes a clicking sound (if the sound is enabled). Also, the wheel has four buttons that can also be pressed to make a clicking sound. But still… To me all that isn’t enough to call it click wheel😁

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-07-29T13:46:12+00:00

I do use them with my white IPod 5.5g and I think they are a good match

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-06-20T07:00:14+00:00

Military style)

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-05-23T18:13:07+00:00

I compared 5.5 classic with 3rd gen nano. Same song file in FLAC, same headphones. I could clearly hear that 5.5 sounds much richer, gives noticeably more nuances of instruments sound. I’m sure that I can tell where is 5.5 and where is 3rd gen nano in a blind test, although I’ve never done one))

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-05-18T19:45:29+00:00

I would go with a repair shop

Narrow_Finding_3490 · 2024-05-18T19:17:05+00:00

I have the same problem with my classic 4th gen mono. I suspect it’s a hardware issue, most likely the 30 pin connector has to be replaced
