A lot of y’all have iPods, by now. And maybe Santa will remember some of you that have been naughty, er nice, er whatever behavior it is that Santa rewards. In any case, we iPod owners living in temperate zones (or colder) need to remember to keep our iPod warm during the winter months.
According to Apple, the iPod should not be operated at temperatures less than 32°F (0°C), or greater than 95°F (35°C). When the iPod is sleeping, it’s okay at -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C). So, if you’re listening to your iPod outdoors in the winter, you might wanna keep it close to your body heat, like an inside pocket.
