I've been a member of MacRumors for quite some time now, but never thought to share my work here.

I Thought you all might be interested in my most recent project, an iPod Classic 5th Generation that I have added Flash Storage, a larger battery, Bluetooth and Wireless Charging!
The iPod can last for days of continuous use on a single charge and works with most Bluetooth peripherals including my AirPods Max, it uses a standard Bluetooth Transmitter that has been heavily modified to fit inside the iPod.
I made a custom transparent back case with help from Dianexis on reddit that helps show all the work I've done to the device even when its sealed up.

Let me know what you guys think, all my 3D models are available on Thingiverse and the video goes into great detail on how to assemble one if you'd like to have a Bluetooth iPod of your own.

Amazing job.

Would it be possible to do something similar on a 4G?
