Scott,
This discussion is not about an iPhone, it is about an iPod. I tested an
i-phone 6 in an apple store....and after I started almost throwing up from
the dizziness, did not feel continuing to play was a smart idea.
Given the subject line, might not asking what do you want an iPod for?
before making an off point suggestion avoiding exchanges like this one?
since I also referenced buttons I believe in my first post, I do not feel
an iPhone
qualifies smiles.

Well, the more recent more powerful iPhones have a greater selection of voices.
Not sure if they all have the negative effects you mention, you told me in
detail about the problem before. I know Alex for example is out of the
question but some of the others may be a better fit, there are some Nuance
voices if memory serves, Tom being one although again not sure if this has the
same effect.
Geo navigation on an iPod is more useful than you think. I’ve used one as a
backup device as I have used GPS for independent travel. My thought was though
the newer more powerful iPhones have a greater variety of voices and might have
fit your medical needs more but it sounds like you’ve tried this.
Maybe as you said the older iPod video or similar may be the way for you to go.

Scott,
I cannot use ios at all, the voices stimulate the dizzy centres of my brain
because of a vascular accident in a surgery.
My question about the touch was as an absolute last resort.
Since the iPod is at the request of my medical team, i prefer not making a
substitution for a device that will not do the job.
I cannot imagine why I would require geo-navagation to listen smiles.
Thanks for the ideas,
Karen

Kare, one thing you could do is use a decommissioned phone, it works just
nicely as an iPod like device and you don’t need the latest and greatest but
you can definitely take advantage of enhanced voices. You also have the
advantage of having a GPS receiver in these as GPS is part of the cell modem.
Grab an old 6+ for example and you’ll also have an upgrade path for a while
longer.

I may make the Classic a priority then.
For me personally, at least the last time I tested them at an apple store, the
enhanced ios voices too were a bit of a physical dizziness risk.
If I can avoid the touch I will.
Thanks again,
Kare

Hi Kare. You can download enhanced voices for an iOS device like the
iPod touch but the voices for the rockbox firmware on the iPod video
for example is very slim if any as I recall.
I always wanted the classic as the high capacity model was a whopping
160gb which is still huge now for an mp3 player you can easily fit in
a pants pocket!

This rumor has been around for many years. But I think it refers to the
ipod nano, not the ipod touch. Although, I am not sure what purpose the
ipod touch serves since an ipad mini is so similar.

Hi everyone,
Yes I recall posts indicating that Apple is going to discontinue the
iPod.
I am not seeking a hot off the shelf model regardless, having two
unique questions.
First, what was the last edition that still had buttons? If I must
get a touch, how close do the voices mirror those on the mac?
Ios makes me literary dizzy so I must choose with great care, part of
why i would prefer a unit with buttons. Might not need voiceover at
all in that situation.
I have a head phones question as well but that would be three so I
will wait.
Thanks,
Kare
