Hi Terri, She gave you wrong information, they said in the keynote when iOS 10 was introduced that the only iPod that can run iOS 10 is the iPod sixth generation.
-----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Terri Stimmel Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2016 8:38 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Questions regarding the IPod Hello everybody, Someone suggested that I look on the Apple website, to see if I could find a refurbished model. For either the fifth generation, or the sixth generation. So I did this. When I couldn't find anything, I decided to call Apple. I spoke with a very nice lady who told me that they had not had any refurbished models for at least a couple of months now. I asked her if you knew whether or not the fifth generation would support iOS 10. She said that it would. So now I am rather confused why summer you feel that it won't. Where have you read this, or heard this? Why would that lady be wrong? I'm not saying she is or isn't, it's just something I'm curious about. I want to learn more about this, so I understand this. Thank you so much!
