If you haven’t already heard, Apple has given their iPod touch a minor update for the first time in four years. Its processor was updated from the A8 which first appeared in the iPhone 6, to the A10, giving it the same performance as the iPhone 7. Also, Apple added an option for 256GB of storage, which means this 7th gen iPod touch has the highest capacity of any iPod ever, including the Classic which offered 160GB of storage at its peak. Now that may not sound like a very news-worthy update, but what most people were surprised by aren’t the improvements made to the iPod, but that the iPod touch was updated at all, since rumors surrounding its discontinuation have been circulating for years. So why exactly is Apple still selling iPods in 2019? Well that’s exactly what we’re going to find out.
Thanks to Skinit for sponsoring this video!

When I was 10 years old, I got an iPod touch for Christmas.
Now I'm sitting here with a MacBook Pro, an iPhone, an iPad Pro, AirPods and Apple TV.
You got me Apple.
Boots No need to be jealous, I work hard and buy my stuff with my own money. I bought both my parents iPads last Christmas. I don’t need to be jealous.

No apple watch? You 🅱️roke
@@lefthanded5473 stop calling people who own apple products spoiled, as long as they don't brag like crazy about how expensive that is and poop on android, no need to shame them, they maybe just prefer iOS over android and save up for their devices
Andrew Bond Maybe he owns a real watch rather than that silly looking wrist computer. 🤷🏻♂️
Apple had extra headphone jacks laying around.
You doing the rounds with this comment? Heh heh.
bahahahahahahahahaha ayeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Or A10 chip
🔥
Viet Vu yup A10 chip! Apple tv had the A10x chip and apple tv did not sell much as leds have all feature today, so the A10 chips are used in ipods
Recently I digged out my old iPod classic for listening to music ONLY. No Messages, no notifications, no interference. Just music. I love it!
Very valid point!
I mean I can do that with iPod touch also just disable notifications
@@mahirooyama9424 No other possibilities with iPod classic also. iPod touch has more to offer than just music.
And that’s worse?
@@mahirooyama9424 More possibilities of distraction. On iPod classic there's music ONLY. That was my point.
short answer: its great
long answer: its still great
I would disagree.. in this day and age iPods are probably one of the most useless things you can buy from Apple. You can take that $200 and buy an used iPhone 7 and get way much more bang for your buck
@@TheRandomDead iPhone 7 has no headphone jack, and has an engineering defect which causes it to bootloop. Plus the iPod touch is very portable with its tiny size
@@Andrew982_ its also great for when you want to listen to music without being interrupted by calls and notifications
@@TheRandomDead omg iPod touch IS NOT A PHONE it was not made to be a phone plus when you ever use your phone do you get annoyed from all the notifications and/or calls? Yeah I know the I phone touch is very similar to a phone but that’s not it’s purpose it’s supposed to be a small portable device, also the iPod touch has a lot of storage for music, videos, etc.
@@TheRandomDead FFS IPOD TOUCH IS NOT A F ING PHONE! IT'S A FUCKING MUSIC PLAYER THAT LOOKS LIKE PHONE!
What he said said about iPod touches being for kids and getting them into the Apple ecosystem, I felt that. When I was 10 I was given the 4th generation model. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked
Same. I got one when i was 13 and loved it (i had a phone at the time but all it could do was photos, texting, calling and very minimal browsing.)
Me too! I got the iPod touch 4 for my 10th birthday. Now sitting here with an iPhone and iPad mini at 18
5th Gen for me!
I've had an iPod touch 4th gen since about 2012 (I was 4 and I used that to listen to music, I still remember how I sat in the car jamming my head to Dynamite by Taio Cruz). I still have it but the back is badly scratched (it looks like you gave it to a cat)
I had a jailbreaked 4th gen ipod touch with whatsapp and it was my smartphone back in 2011. I burned that device to hell: lobbies in Brothers in Arms 2 with voice chat, Black Ops Zombies, a lot of music, videos, photos...
Since then i've never had an apple device as they really got too expensive for me, but i'm sure i will get an iPhone in the future.
iPod touch is meant for kids and is big for getting them into the Apple ecosystem at a young age
Yeah a few years ago, but most families have an iPad that the kids also uses or an old iPad for them. I never see a kid with an iPod touch, but i do with iPads.
@@stijnvanbrummelen6290 A lot of families have both. Most parents don't want their kids to have phones and the portability factor is key. This product exist just so when they do come of age to get a phone it'll be the iPhone. Either way iPhone or iPad the ecosystem grows! The budget iPad and iPod touch don't generate that much revenue on their own, but lifetime revenue from the customers who own them are high because once you are in there is no leaving haha
They are not just for kids!!! I have a 5th gen touch and in need of an upgrade!!! I will never use my phone until maybe one day that they will have 2-4 tb of storage!!! Plus the music chips on the iphone and iPod touch are shit compared to what the older classic iPods had but they discontinued that one!! I have a 5th gen iPod 30gb video from 2005 and it sound miles better but not enough storage!!!! 😭😭😭😭😰
@@guitarboyjeff Wait another 10-20 years to actually get 2-4tb in a phone. Do you even know how much a terabyte is? 512gb would be more than enough.
guitarboyjeff 2-4tb on a phone🙃 with the content we have now, there’s no need for so much storage. The average person probably uses 15-30GB of storage. I’m a bit above average so a device with 256GB is perfect for me, and gives me a bit of future proof. But you, need to re-evaluate your life 😂
I keep an iPod touch for my dad in assisted living. I have him on our Apple Music plan and refresh his music often. He loves it!
That’s so sweet
🥰
A wonderful idea! I’ll pass that on to people I know who are working in those places.
If they brought back a click wheel iPod, I would buy it day one.
Same. Phones are kind of taking too much mental space these days, the idea of having an item solely dedicated to music. Plus the nostalgia factor of course!
You guys could buy modded ipods with backlit screens, large batteries and fast (and large 1tb+ storage). The idea is really dope.
@@sublime_tv it’s not the same when it’s modded.
@@isaactxn Exactly, it's better.
Why tho
Q=Why is apple still selling iPods?
A=Because you have people that still will buy it.
Thank you!
Like me! I can’t do without an iPod 📱
Yes me or my mom, because I want it for Christmas, it will be my first apple product I own | Edit: That will not be my first phone!
Senior Partner well some parents can buy it for their kids..like think of it as a starter phone but not really..ya know what I mean lol
It’s my sneak phone when I’m grounded
Because kids don't need phones. They still need a device for games, music etc. An iPod provides them with everything they need.
If they need cell phone connectivity for web browsing, downloading apps/music/games, they can tether to their parents phones. Parents can then control their usage.
Anyone with a phone doesn't need an iPod Touch. Although some Android users say they like to have an iPod too.
Rick Terscale Ummm iPod touch can search the web and download games. It’s basically an iPhone with no SIM. I have a 6+ with no SIM at age 11 and it functions the same as the iPod.
an iphone se/used iphone 6s is a better idea.You dont need to insert sim card on iphones.You simply dont,and when your kid grew up, you don't need to buy a new smartphone.You just insert sim on their iphone.Ipod has the same performance as an se/6s because
the cpu is underclocked in Ipod.So you gonna get almost the same performance.And if you can find a great deal, you can be much cheaper by looking at ebay/craigslist
I own one it's not that special because it's a wifi base thing.
Lyrie T yes, but iPod is cheaper than a full phone most of the time.
I still use an 4th gen iPod Touch, simply because it's sound quality is years-light better than my Android Phone
iPod Touch was honestly one of the best decisions Apple ever made. It introduced me to iOS and cemented my desire for an iPhone. I'm sure many others had a similar experience growing up in the 2000s.
Great video!
Same. I got an iPod touch in 07 and by 08 I was like “why do I have a phone and an MP3 player in my pocket when I can get an iPod touch with a built in phone (ie the iPhone) instead and have all of it in one package and access to the internet all the time. So less than a year of owning an iPod touch I bought an iPhone 3g and the rest is history.
Same
iPod Touch has a dedicated headphone jack, something the iPhone doesn't have without the dreaded 'Dongle'
Your still stuck in the past, there’s no need for a headphone jack anymore
@@esingh7933 there is actually with tons of amazing sounding wired headphones. plus i hate dealing with battery drainage that’s why i gave my AirPods back to my sister
@@esingh7933 The fuck you talking about? There are still benefits to have the wire.
@@esingh7933 you do realize that going wireless means you will have more latency when it comes to music and other things plus it sounds alot better since it doesn't need an inbuilt dac but instead uses the phones dac.
@@esingh7933 yes there is you blind dumbass. Not every store has wireless headphones and not everyone likes the port removed. Opinions exist kid
One day the video will be titled “Why Apple is selling iPhones in 2027”
Cuz by 2027 the iPhone trend will die and people will move on to the always advancing software and hardware of android
By then android as we know it wont exist, it will be android wearable(e.g glasses, watch earbuds, maybe even a hat)
@@ab3040 and Apple will be making the. IPhone 19 with an " all new no screen display."
@@omar76omar76 extra features include a headphone jack
That's only 8 years away.
Even us early 2000's kids had iPod touches in elementary school.
lol, when i was in primary school i had a gameboy color
I used to have one when I was 3
I got mine when I was 5
I was born in 2002 and I had the iPod Touch 5th Generation in middle school, I got it when I was 11. Of course it is obsolete now. Haven’t used it for about 2 years.
No only the spoiled kids have iPod touches.
When I was in elementary school I had actually Toys and the only electronic device I had was a Nintendo DSi.
“The highest storage capacity of any iPod”
DankPods: hold my nuggets
lmao, creates 4TB iPods to play shrek
I love that guy, deserves more subs
Auxiliary mode
Hold my PKCELL
i loaded scarlet fire in honor of him lol
When I was a kid, Apple got us hooked with Apple II and Oregon Trail at school.
No
I think that should give the iPod Touch a redesign for the 20th anniversary of the original iPod in 2021.
Agreed
Arrowlog Productions hmmm agree.
That would only increase the cost
iknoor singh better then this old design
They let the consumers vote for the iPod or else I’m gonna be sad
Wouldn’t it be nice if these new iPod touches have free Apple Music subscriptions?
It will not happen. Knowing it's Apple
Yeah really sad we know it won’t happen. But if Apple wanted to sell these they would add Apple Music subscriptions!
Ya
That would actually make sense.
Or you could just go to android and not pay for music or better still just stream it like most ppl nowadays 🤔
Pov : you are here after they stopped selling it
😭
This is pretty accurate. My iPod Touch was my first introduction to the Apple ecosystem. This led me to buy an iPhone and an iPad later on. I still use my iPod. I love it because I have a large music collection and I want a dedicated device just for music that I can carry around without draining the battery or taking up space on my iPhone. I feel comfortable knowing that I can go on a walk with my iPod and if it happens to get lost or stolen then at least it’s not my phone (which is arguably more important than a music device) that I have to replace.
Another good use case is for android users who don't want to buy an iphone but the majority of their friends have iphones and exclusively communicate via imessage and facetime. One of my friends has a 5th gen touch teathered to hotspot on his galaxy s7 for this purpose
FubarMike does he know he can just text iPhone users?
@@FTorrez81 But sometimes when people invite on imessage the message doesn't come to android users. I have been excluded many times from group events because of that. Its really rare but it happens. And my friends are super weird about using another messengers (the apple users by the way). So his method works.
FubarMike at that point get a iphone
Also it is good to use as a bridge to bring people into iphones.
After all Apple dont have a begginers phone, I know many people who wanna to try an iphone but consider 700€ for a phone to try it out way to much.
So buying an ipod may be the solution for some
Who remembers the ipod touch 4th generation being the best generation of all iPod touch
I have one, but the screen is screwed.
True. Dat time was 🔥
My first technological device EVER
@@JoachimAbdallah it literally was legit fire
@@createnewhandle_ keep it you can still fix it tho
I like having a device solely for music because I have a lot of music and I don’t want my music taking up space on my iPhone
And now, discontinued.
R.I.P the best and most fun apple product ever. 😭
This is the reason why I bought a Ipod touch last year. I have a huge music collection that I want to keep separate from my phone since I use my phone a lot for other things.
Exactly why I have an iPod touch.
I have my iPod mini plugged into my car sound system.
Same. However, I can never deal with its atrocious battery life. I know iPhone SE2 ( 2020 ) has the same battery mAh as the iPhone 8 (2017) . Though, tbh; I am much happier with my s10e. Literally, you can backup so many songs from your iTunes library, insert all your songs on a 512GB Micro SD Card, and never have to worry about in need of iCloud Storage along internal storage being full. My s10e is 128GB internal storage, and tbh, I wish Apple would've presented Apple Users the microSD Card feature that most Android phones have for storing photos, videos, music and more. Only downside about my s10e is that App Store is better than Google Play Store; along likely to not receive additional software support ( iPhones receive up to 4-5 years of iPhone iOS support ) . Other than that, thats my perspective .
@@tmtmoormr LOL....Sat here with 22,459 music files on my Samsung S10+ 512gb internal & 512gb sd card.Ipod,iphone,icloud not needed.
Some of us like to own music, and not have to worry about being connected to wifi to listen to music.
I knew Apple had a advanced marketing strategy but never looked at it this way
Anderson yea iPod touch got me into iPhones tbh I was in 7th grade when the 4th gen iPod came out now I have iPhones 7 and had it since release but I’m waiting for 5g to drop to upgrade it
@@stayswervin554 bro.. do you even understand what OP are trying to say? >_
in laymen's terms it's manipulation.
They're doing the right thing. Short term to begin with but then long term profits, they know whenever there's a market out there for a product, It's smart business strategies
I miss the shuffle :(
The nano was also very epic but I still have mine. It’s choking in terms of battery, but it’s working.
I have an old iPod at home. It still has the circular touchpad thing in the middle so it's fairly old, but it really does the trick for playing music and the extras are pretty good for its time.

iPods have a cool nostalgia aesthetic which is the best reason I want one.
Besides when I was young I wanted an iPod solely for movie viewing on the go when portable DVD players were too expensive, but I never got one of these critters and still don't have one today. I do have its cable though.
My office has ipod touches build into the wall who are used to control the climate and lights in that room...
Woah
That's NICE XD
At least they're getting put to good use.
The only good thing they’re good at
Ipod touch are like a smart screen that can interface you everything you could program on it
Nice

I'm in my 40's and I still love my iPod. I use it every day. I have over 8,500 songs loaded on it and I use it for music and only music. I don't wanna be getting texts and what not while listening to music. I like having something that can handle all my music that I can use for only that reason without being connected in anyway.
Same here, but I'm almost 61, lol. I use it mainly for the music capability/storage, but it's also nice to be able to store photos/videos on it too. Like you, I hate when my music is interrupted by notifications of any kind, so I've turned all that stuff off. I still use the old iPod Touch 3 from '09 (64 gb) daily, and it works great in my car, and is also hooked up via Bluetooth to my workshop speaker (a Sony GTK-XB7). It's a kickass system that does everything I want from it and I can take it anywhere, yet still access the internet when I travel (w/o paying a $50 per month or more contract to do that). I love my iPod and have absolutely no need for a smart phone, so I think it's people like us that the iPod was created for.
@@MnktoDave somehow I don't feel so old anymore
but ✨Spotify✨ tho

I always use my I-pod touch just for my music playlists, as a fitness instructor , it is easy to use for all my Bootcamp classes! Love it !
I got an iPod Touch 4th gen for Christmas years ago and it literally changed my life. Made me really get into tech and I probably would not be pursuing a career in Comp Sci if It weren't for that device.
I like how this vid fairly presents both sides of the argument rather than just ranting about why it’s good or bad
Devan Devan Tailosive Tech will only dicksuck the positives of it and rant about it still keeping the jack
BlueMoonKotoro actually he ranted about how horrible it is. He absolutely hates the iPod touch
BlueMoonKotoro You are such a fanboy. If you actually watched his video of the new iPod touch, he was very critical about it.
Nope. They dismissed an entire mp3 player market which ipod was late too. My iriver was smaller and easier to use than those stupid ipods. However, thanks to Apple marketing, most only know Apple mp3 players
Man if the iPhone XS was 650, it would sell like *hotcakes*
or even the Xr
Linksthebest Mainly because the people who are selling them are clowns. No, literally.

Well, let's see... iphone 11 is $699
@@timk1480 but the iphone 11 is like the xr and the 11pro is like xs and the 11 pro max is lile the xs max
I still have and used the classic ever since I got it way back. It have about a thousand songs, a few music videos and about 10 movies and it STILL has plenty of space. It's good having a dedicated device for media instead of a phone that a text or call can ruin a nice music night
I have a 6th gen iPod that I specifically bought for work a few years ago. I listen to music all during my shifts, so I wanted to have as much music on it as I could for whatever I’m in the mood for. I love it. I also don’t use streaming services. I buy from iTunes, but also my older music is imported from CDs.

There are much cheaper and more disposable mp3 players you could use for that.
That's why they made the apple watch...

@@RoughAtGames apple watch doesn't function as an mp3 player.Even if it did, it wouldn't be a great idea because of the low storage of the apple watch.

Can't wait till you're out of a job lol
Well bois. The iPod is no more as of today.
You know, I wouldn’t mind getting an updated iPod classic with a more modern design, AirPod compatibility, and some new features with 1tb of storage.
Devan Devan They dont want a market which is going backwards :( But i would be happy about it too
but it wouldn't have iOS< locking out Apple Music and Spotify
For the price, you can get some FiiO player and actual high end audio output as a bonus.
theLMGN Maybe with some altered version of iOS personalized for the iPod
Ezugo Obuekwe yeah all that stuff too. I think you get what I mean
I remember my first iPod. The iPod nano. Gosh I loved that thing
Chad Charming same. In 2009
Ipod Shuffle. I took it everywhere. Man. Miss those days.

Crazy how I was probably born less that 10 years after you and have never even heard of the iPod nano

I still remember when I first saw my cousin use an iPod touch. I was like "Wow what's that"
No
7:35 so true I got an iPod touch and now I’ve gotten everything from them, from a iPhone to a MacBook to an Apple Watch. It’s the only interface I know how to use. What Apple is doing it amazingly effective I didn’t think about it until now
Currently watching on my iPod touch 😁
The Conduit same
lmao broke
iPad pro
I’m watching this on iPod shuffle 1st Gen. 😂
The Conduit is iPod 6 getting ios13??
the main reason they refreshed them is so that they will support iOS13 with the new chips.
Yeah i think they only refurbish them once every few years when an iPod Touch cannot handle the new iOS.
I mean it’s true. My first ever phone was an IPod Touch. But now I use my current iPod Touch as a storage holder. I also use it to store photos. By the way I have the new iPhone SE now.
The iPod Touch happens to be one of the few Hi-Res audio players in the price range that's got almost universal USB compatibility with car head units just like the Classic. And the built-in DAC on the Touch is actually pretty good quality, with a lot of audiophile reviewers putting it as pretty close to expensive units by Sony, A&K, and Fiio.
@Calvs Ant I still buy CDs and rip to ALAC, don't trust Apple's services.
I just want a new Classic. Bring it, Tim!
I work for a retail company where we have hundreds of iPod touches being used in-store - mostly the red colour since it happens to match the company’s branding. Not quite sure what the purpose of them are, whether it’s accessible by customers to order things or only used by staff but it is a key part of store operations and it’s hard to think of something else that might replace it.
i’ve actually been considering buying one for the last two years and always talk myself out of it. i’m a musician, so i never hav enough storage on my phone more my demos, and masters. plus i’m always mixing songs for my friends and like having all of their unreleased music.
I so want a 20th anniversary iPod Classic this year. I doubt Apple will do it, but I really hope they do, I want a dedicated music-only device with that classic click wheel.
I’m one of those people who want a dedicated music player and this refresh is just spot on.
I like my devices having their own purpose
Like my iPad is generally my social media consumption machine. And my iPhone is my phone. iPod is such a yes for my music collection
^ this is me! I love everything to have its own dedicated purpose as well!
Same❤🔥
Me too! I like all of my music on one dedicated player.

Compared to using your phone for music, the Nano or Shuffle is actually quite a bit smaller and more convenient, etc...

I have an iPod nano 5th gen from 2009. My very first apple product...I still use it even though it’s definitely been through a lot. I refuse to get rid of it because it still works and, as mentioned in the video, some people have collected so many songs/albums that it probably wouldn’t be wise to put all of that in your phone. I know that iPods and MP3 players in general aren’t really a thing anymore, but yeah...I still love my iPod. 💛
Also Apple took the headphone jack away from the iPhone so they could revive the iPod Touch
I have to say, that's smart!!😂😂😂
Good point.
Nah... it was a publicity stunt to AirPods
True and any other used iPhone with a headphone jack will be slower since the 6s and se are the most recent iPhones with headphone jacks which are both running the a9 chip opposed to the iPod touch 7 a10 chip
no it to promote airpods. also smart
hmm... maybe
I'm one of those people who likes a dedicated player. I have thousands upon thousands of songs I've collected, many of which are rarities that will never exist on Spotify or Apple Music, so I'm glad the option of an iPod is still available to me.
I got an I-Pod Classic back when they were popular, It was a Christmas Present from my step brother. I love and still keep it, it sits on my alam clock which keeps it charged and I have my music on my I-Pod wake me up.
I remember when I was 10 I had my first apple device, an iPod 4th gen which only ran up to iOS 6.1
I still use my ipod touch even with an iphone 11 :’) i love how small it is!

Excellent breakdown video, on Apple's iPod's. Bravo sir . !
iPod touch should come with the Apple TV as a "smart remote control"
GBL Studio you sir are a genius
To advance for a remote and over priced like all Apple stuff.
@@pyeltd.5457 what? Smart TV is not advanced? 🤔 And I said "should come with" as a smart remote control one could even play games with multiplayer etc.... That would be cool! If I control apple tv with my iPod/iPhone/iPad then it should know that my account to sign in on 👌🏾😉
GBL Studio I said a iPod touch is to advanced and expensive just for a remote for the Apple TV
Imagine having to charge your remote everynight..
Did no-one pay attention to the fact that Apple is going to release the "Apple Arcade"? The release of iPod 2019 is clearly synchronized with that.
I love mine, got a product red model and using it only for gym. The lightness feels like it’s barely there!
i got a 4th gen ipod touch for xmas when i was about 6, ahh the good memories
The iPod Touch was my pathway into Apple's ecosystem. I now have had a few iPhones and an iPad as well as other Apple products

*reads title* CoUgh some peopl can’t afford the $749 “budget” phone cOuGh
Israel Manrique I traded in my 7+ for a XR and I spent $390
I rounded it off and i converted it into $ it’s 20k in php
Buy used, lagging 2 years behind the edge. You still get decent device for fraction of cost. (Disclaimer - I still use iPhone 5s and plan to upgrade to iPhone 7 😹).
I’d honestly say they still make it for parents to give to their kids since you can still use iMessage but can’t run up their data plan. Plus it would get people into the “ecosystem”
Still have the original iPod Shuffle 1gb from early 2005. Loved the nanos and currently use an iPhone 7plus 256gb for music . No SIM installed.
I don't know about you, but I can't afford the $$$$ monthly fees charged by mobile phone companies. However, I get most of what I need WITHOUT the "smartphone" part, which I don'tt need. (I have a "pay-as-you-go" cellphone for emergencies which costs $100/year.) The fact that I can use it as a music player is a bonus, and there are useful apps, even if I don't waste time playing games. (Plus, iTunes doesn't have, say, Aidan James, Pure Heart, The Hawaiian Style Band, or Streetlight Cadence in the online store.)
...
Or you could just get an unlocked smartphone + pre-paid SIM?
For 100$ you could just get a small data plan
Exactly!
You know u can have tracfone on an iphone. I pay $100 a year for my prepaid iphone service
I still have my iPod touch 5th gen for just listening to my music collection. I've never used a streaming service before because I like my ever expanding collection on my iPod. It's nice not having to drain my phone battery either!
I wish Apple would relaunch the classic iPod with the thumbnail circle. With its minimalist interface for just songs (and maybe videos), it’s an iconic device. I remember when I was little, I always wanted to buy it but by the time I graduated, iPhones and other Android smartphones were already quite popular
I really loved your video. the iPod touch 4th gen was my first ios device back in 2012. My mom only bought it for me because apple devices are insanely expensive here (I'm brazilian) and this was the only device we could afford. Since then i completely fell in love with ios
In 10 years or whatever they need to release a “retro” version of the click wheel iPods... updated parts and everything. Sync-able to Apple-music! I think it’d be big!
Agreed. Even now you can buy kits to replace the hard drive with digital storage. People just LOVE their classic iPods.
I was going to buy these on 2017-2018, but every store I come to in Indonesia said that it's discontinued since long time ago, yet.... It's updated 😅
The 7th gen got released very recently ( within the last week). Before that, it wasnt updated for 4 years
Two words: Excellently explained.
Still using iPod Touch , the way you organize your playlist and the sound quality , and kinda of nostalgic , cause yes 4 inch display :))) hope they will never give up on this device
Yay, the new 7th gen iPod is here! :D
Edit: I just prefer how Apple continues to keep it affordable and not as expensive compared to flagship phones.
Edit 2: But I kind of expected more out of this iPod that apple was making. (A redesign and stuff but it’s just a spec bump)
John Nguyen ipod is a cheaper iphone.
They stopped it :(
Really great explanation 👍 I enjoyed it a lot
I am in charge of the production department in our church. I have an iPod touch set up in 2 locations in our building, one in our main sanctuary and one on our youth group sound system. Both have Apple Music on them and they’re used only to play music for services and other occasions. Both are on Apple docks so they sit upright, and both are plugged in to a smart plug so I can keep a schedule on them so the batteries don’t wear out.
I have seen ipods in a lot of museums used as audio guides, so even if the demand is low for private usage it might still bring in decent business from bulk orders to companies
i now genuinely believe that you work at Apple
I didnt even know iPods were still being sold. I thought they stopped q few years ago.
Parent: I thought they stopped selling iPods.
Kid: iPods? What's an iPod?
Yup- once again you nailed it. And I am still hocked on the brand but it all makes so much sence. DAMN
They’re still a great piece of hardware and useful in some situations. They’re no longer a big player in Apple’s business but still a money maker and they really don’t need to spend any R&D money to keep producing them so why not?
Idk, they just wanted to get rid of it since the popularity declined even though there were people who still bought it
I own an ipod touch. I love it. I don't think it's any different than owning a tablet.
Ipads last longer.
An iPad is more like a MacBook nowadays...
@Deez Nuts just have a look at the specs and you can do wayyyyyyyyy more than you thing with an ipad
@Deez Nuts bro the new ipad has M1 chip inside it😀. And theres a chance the ipad could support MacOs.
@Deez Nuts I don’t know what or how you use your iPad… I don’t have any of the problems you mentioned above
the ipod touch costs 250€ while the Iphone SE costs also 250€
@duh duh juste a little faster than iphone se but not so much
But you could pop a sim cwrd in the se
@duh duh it's underpowered though. Clocked at 1.6ghz instead of the 2.6ghz
John Blackwood If you look good than you can get an iphone 6s 32 gb (brand new) for less than 250 dollars
Profit margins on the Ipod are really good for Apple , that's the main reason why they want to continue selling it .
I'm in college now but the iPod I got in middle school has been in my drawer for so long, probably hoping I go back to it.
Ever since I've been an Android guy. Note 10+ here, but I do have good memories with the iPod. I remember jailbreaking it, feeling really accomplished, and thinking I was a hacker. I miss that
I had an iPod Touch 4th gen before I had a smart phone and used it as a phone anywhere I could connect to wifi. It's honestly a great product in a pinch.
Amazing Video, so amazingly well explained. Thanks again Apple Explained!! Love your channel
This video is very nostalgic. I remember wanting to buy this. 😂
It just came out wtf
Lucy Saint-Claire he means one of the first ones
I still use my iPod Nano 6th gen every weekday in the car as I commute some 70 kms daily. Just plug it into the car stereo system. Love it. What a pity the Nano has been discontinued. I don't like using my smartphone to play music because of storage and battery issues.
I bought my kid an iPad like 2 years ago and his birthday is coming on june 12, and I have never seen this much loyalty toward a brand before. He had a few android tablets before and generally used to hop to new brands when we bought a new tablet. The same happened with his clothes, and generally all the items, he didn't care about the brand enough to stick to it, but after I bought the iPad , this year he's begging for either and apple watch series 7 or an iPad air or pro, and even said to wait till the new apple launch event this year, rather than buy the iPad or watch straight on his birthday. I think an apple watch will be more useful, because he has gotten into somewhat small accidents before, when both of us were at work, and while they were somewhat small accidents, it's worrying about what could have happened.
