Or do we need another decade before we can call IPod games retro?
I think 25 years is plenty long enough.
The Atari 2600 was newer when the first iPod was released than the first iPod is now.

Like 15 years ago my wife had one of these and she was a teacher f0r 12-13 yo and one of them asked "what is that" and other answer "an iphone, the really old ones, was not even a phone yet". That interaction still haunts my wife.
replies:
That's GBA/PS2 era, definitely retro.
The black & white iPods are antiques at this point.
It’s kinda sad how many current day mobile games are barely more advanced than this.

Ha. I was playing with my old one just yesterday. It's the model with the touch sensitive wheel and 4 touch buttons.
The battery doesn't even last 1 song anymore.
Then I have a newer one that I installed rockbox on. That's kind of neat.
replies:
You can install Rockbox on those things yeah?

You can add the video iPod that I used to watch movies in the subway. You could even find movies on TPB with the good resolution. Fun times.
Oh yeah Parachute!
Korg Monologue! What a fun synthesizer

A mild hydrogen peroxide mix can help get rid of the yellowing, but it's best to use it with the front case removed (if you wanted to make that thing GLEAM)
iPops are still new young people things.
For retro gaming on a portable music player, you need to play "If you hold down play and fast-forward it makes your music go squeaky" on a cassette Walkman.

Dankpods already retrofied, popularised, lead to the sellout of, then abandoned the ipods.
Also, if you bought one you are a fucking toolshed and brought about all the lack of ownership, and enshittification in the world today
