icenutter Jun 2020 10:53am, 25 Jun 2020 432 posts	Quote Pin icenutter Work have given me an iPhone 11 to replace my iPhone SE. I used the SE for listening to podcasts when running. It was small enough to fit in the key pocket of some shorts or under the waistband. But the iPhone 11 is massive and quite heavy. I don't fancy an armband, and only really carry a bag when in the hills on on a really long run. So I'm wondering what Apple solution I could use for podcasts? One of the things I like is that, because I'm a completist by nature, I listen to the podcasts in time order. If I use spotify or whatever thats less easy. The main other criteria is bluetooth for headphones. I was thinking about getting an old ipod nano 7th generation from ebay. That's small and has bluetooth. Any other ideas?

Buy some of these then use your normal phone: sportsshoes.com You can fit a towel in the back pocket, it's that big. Seriously, you can. I ran to work last week with a full-size microfibre towel because I forgot to take one with me in advance.
