    I spend my whole money on a used iPod touch 3rd gen as a kid, it was already 1,5 years old at the time. This was my first smart device with Wifi and access to the app store etc. I still think it's one of the most beautiful devices to ever have existed! I cared for this mirror back side like crazy and it still looks superb and neat today! (Which is nuts because this thing got scratches by just looking at it) Now it sort of feels like an ancient gaming console because it still runs an old iOS version and all of those great old games in their old versions and mostly without any ads! While youtube etc dont work anymore.

If you are out and about and like sitting outside of a concert venue queuing all day, you don't want to drain your phone battery. Having an iPod touch, you would be able to go through the day without draining the battery of my phone. ☺️ Even the thought on the daily, Being able to go through the day and listen to music and such, an iPod touch weighs a lot less than a battery bank and the thought that an iPod Touch would help prevent you running out of battery for an entire day.

It sucked to see it go, but I was very excited when I got my first phone, bc it was 64gb and I could actually put all my music on there, instead of the measly 8gb I had before. 😅 Now I have a 128gb phone.

    I had the last ipod touch to have the 15 pin connector. Even not using the official apps I can pull up and start my music, even while running another app. In several ways it's still better than my current stuff. Sure not as powerful, no longer supported by any apps that have had updates, but most of my apps that aren't just skinner boxes (and the blockheads, losing that on Android is rough) were made to be downloaded once and run perfectly forever.

    I've been using mp3 players basically since they came out decades ago. I'm surprised you didn't notice when buying yours but they do have a 256GB model available. The main reasoning for me choosing the I-pod touch was the combination of available capacity and an external speaker in an mp3 player type of product. I can carry the majority of my audiobook collection with me separate from my phone and not worry about battery life for either device. I'd love to buy another generation if they'd increase capacity to 1TB.

  • @SaneGhoul

    I think the iPod and the base iPad have various industries that use them regularly, and they have a reason to be consistent products. I work with kids, and iPods are still great for certain activities, not even mentioning iPads, which every kid has and uses significantly.
    Having a cheap product, with long term security support that IT doesn't have to worry much about, a simple home button and headphone jack even the youngest of kids can understand, and a smooth no hassle interface makes a lot of sense to use with kids.
    Some parents find the iPod to be a great gateway phone for kids. They get the technical experience to operate phones, they're cheap, they're the perfect size for tiny hands. I imagine lots of kids who get this will probably stick with iPhones as they get older, just out of familiarity. Similarly with iPads, especially now that they're getting more computer like and can be used for mostly everything you need.
    I imagine Apple will be keeping these around for a while longer. I think too many people and industries would complain if they suddenly couldn't rely on Apple for these cheap products.

There also was a special loop on the rear for attaching a wrist rap. Although I don't own the last generation of iPod Touch, from this viewpoint it seems so identical. I see minor differences when I just look at it at first, but now when I see this review of the new iPod the software and other minor and major details of the device are so different and similar to a phone.

    Definitely had no idea they were still making iPods! Gotta agree with you, the product red looks fantastic and it's for a good cause.
    I also didn't know you could play mobile games on them. Might have to get one, especially if it is indeed the last model they end up making.
    Thanks for the vid!

    It's cool that you're keeping dedicated music players alive, MJR! I was a fan of the iPod Touch in high school. Used it as a music and internet browser before I owned a smartphone. These days, I just stream all my music off my phone from Spotify out of convenience, but keep around an old Samsung Galaxy S10 loaded with an SD card full of my personal MP3 collection for situations like airplane flights like you described.

    My first and only Apple device was the 4th gen Ipod Touch and I loved it to bits, great for kids to use! It was such a great device back then when phones were still clunky and had limited functions but now its hard to justify an ipod. The only reason to get one tbh is for the built in high quality headphone jack and the wired ear buds but then I get angry because they dont include that in their phones.. dongles dont provide the quality of a built in jack from their previous devices and its even worse on android phones so it irks me to see that they can do it but they willingly neglect things.. good to see the ipod but it feels like its forced exclusivity to earn more by this point.

    I recently picked up a 32 GB Gen 6 IPod Touch for less than 20 bucks. I love it! Even though my IPhone SE2 is comparatively small, the Touch makes it seem huge! It is incredibly easy to carry around, and using it saves wear and tear on my much more expensive phone.
    I still use my IPod Touch 4 in the car, because if I leave it on the seat no one is going to break into my car just to get it. In fact, just having it there seems to send out the message “Bro, this guy obviously has NOTHING worth stealing!”
    It is amazing tho just how much utility is left in those old, unsupported units. They are still great for listening to music and for watching the movies I buy off of ITunes. (BTW, the Ipod Touch 4 still runs the Web version of UA-cam. That’s insane!)
    The 6 can run most of the apps on the App Store. The 7 can run them all.
    Will I get a IPod Touch 7? Definitely!
    Just not until I can get one for less than $50.
