Yup, this is a controversial episode I know! I paid for this iPod my self too, I am genuinely excited to have a real 256GB iPod. Even if you don't think it's an ipod ha! The vid got way too long so heres some extra info: Apple says battery life for music is 40 hours, which puts it on par with the last of the classics. But I don't anywhere near that long but thats because I find myself doing more stuff on this. I love playing one finger puzzle games on this so there goes battery. Puzzle games and Frank Zappa on a handheld offline device is my kinda heaven. iOS also has the slow charge stuff where it guesses your charging habits to charge the device slower to protect the battery and make it last longer. Thats ballin. Also dark mode on my iPod! USB C is real cool but Lightning is not a bad 2nd place. Especially since Apple makes Lightning to USB C cables so if you have heaps of USB C chargers (or a macbook...) you don't need dongles. I wish Apple would just call it the "iPod". It makes no sense to call it the Touch anymore since this is the only iPod left. Wireless charging is a total must on a future one, but keep the small dingus screen and "welcome home" button. No really, I never want to type words with a clickwheel again. It's funny, then annoying, then frustrating all in the span of 5 minutes. The tiny 4" screen makes a nice 1 handed music dootler to me. It aint cheap, no way. But man it's so crazy thin and light. The glass and alloy is super nice, all my mates who held it went "why did you get an iPod tou.... oh wow thats so light". Folks say to just use Airplane mode on my phone, but then I can miss work offers or important updates so that doesn't work for me. Eggs.
I haven't done it yet but goddamn it I went from never ever ever NOT ONCE looking up MP3 players on eBay to eBay showing me all sort of players first thing when I bring up the site.
I got this the day it came out. The apple store employees had no clue a new ipod had come out let alone that they recieved stock for it and thought i was fucking around at first LMAO
@@coloradotesla This video was released in early 2020, two years ago. I don’t even know if he patreon then, and even if he did he definitely wasn’t making that much money.
I remember when the iPhone came out, I was bummed it was too expensive for me at the time. Then the touch came out... and I basically then had most of the same tech for a fraction of the price. It sounds dumb, but being a creature of habit, I still never have owned an iPhone - just a touch. If I lose my shitty Android, I don't care. If I use all the battery up on my touch on a trip, I can still use my phone.. I have a lot of backward-ass logic, and I'm sticking with it.
You can still get a phone ... without a SIM card, therefore no telephone number. His argument makes no sense, like as if you _need_ a phone number on a phone. You don't.
I had a 6th gen 160gb throughout highschool. I loved that thing about 15gb of music and nothing but movies to the max, got me through so many classes/off periods that it was worth its weight in gold. Nearly a decade later shes rocking 256 gb after switching to ssds. I take it with me anytime I'm somewhere i may be for awhile, airport, DMV, or camping. Thanks for giving me the drive to fix it up.
I can't get over how good this content is. It comes out hot, it comes out fast, its like having a hyperactive best mate whose eager to tell you all the rad things he's done today.
Precisely why I love this channel. Not overproduced - but honest. Memes? yup. Actual quality information? yup. Absolutely hyping a product Apple is not even remotely caring about anymore although they most definitively should and if they re-release an ipod should totally hire this guy to present it? **Y U P** x)
Personally prefer Fiio devices, SD expandable up to 2TB, they can play far more types of audio files. But, all said, it ends at the reasons are the same, having portable offline music with nice high quality and as little else as possible, it's based on a smart phone in so many ways yet is the polar opposite. Only have the M3K so far but having a taste of hifi for so cheap (70 bucks), I'm going to get an M9 which is amusingly comparable in some ways to that iPod... go figure having seperate devices is cool again
@@MarHTy pure-audio devices use higher quality parts to make the audio, while sure you could just use a cheap android phone if you got a chance to compair both threw decent headphones you'd probably hear a lot more detail in some music that had been hidden behind the limitations of whatever you were using before. But that really depends on your hearing, if your ears arn't sensitive enough to pick out and enjoy the difference it probably doesn't matter then.
This episode is extra special right now, since they discontinued it. You literally gave me a lot to think about. No incoming messages or calls are actually amazing. Looking on a refurbished website right now.
That moment when you have to explain people that yes, not relying on the Internet 24/7 is good, bezels are good to hold stuff, small size is good to hold in hands, headphone jacks are useful, an actual physical buttons are useful too... (by the way this newer iPod sounds great because they actually added a good DAC inside it, the Wolfson Media chips that manufacturers use when they care about sound quality, also present on.... the PSP!) It's sort of weird and sad how the industry went and how the consumers just accept this... Damn, I feel old with this. But proud of being so. Cheers to being old!
Hold on a sec. The PSP had a Wolfson DAC?! O.O Dude, this randomly blew my mind into orbit! I totally agree with you. I don't get people who moan about foreheads and chins - i grew up with them and they are super useful. Ever tried holding an all-screen phone with one hand while eating ice-cream with another and deciding you need your phone in landscape? Your hand will _love_ it! xD On those older stuff? Just pick on the bezel - done! But hey, we gotta teach the young ones what the oldies used to do, ey? ^-^
Ingwie Phoenix that’s an oddly specific scenario. What’s even more odd is that I went through it just today lol. Didn’t have a problem flipping my iPhone X, though. I don’t think the bezels make that big a difference.
@@RiveTheRat Hang on, that one might be the Cirrus Logic ones... Now I'm in doubt... (EDIT: To add to confusion, Cirrus Logic seems to produce some of the Wolfson DACs... so... something is happening that sounds good) Either way they finally added good stuff on them after the iPhones got popular, I remember back in the Classic days the frequency response never managed a flat line bellow ~60Hz, but later on that stopped being an issue
Uncollapsible Australians really speak the same language as Southerners from the US. Our nah is just naw. It’s scary how language can jump oceans like that.
"I even sold my Apple Watch to get these, because I knew you wanted to know if it worked with the Pro's..." This Guy made sacrifices for us... Truly cares for his Channel!
I've been wanting an iPhone for a while, but never actually got through with getting one because it's a few hundred bucks and I got zero use for it. I use my phone for music in my car and that's all I need, I stream all my music so ipod touch being offline is kinda more of a negative thing than positive in my case, unless I download all my favorite music to put on it which wouldn't be so bad I guess.
I live in a place where iPods are literally the grace of god. When I found this channel, I went digging around my father's belongings to find an ipod! Bad news, it's battery is so bloated it pushed the screen off of its place.
Spirited Spy I wonder how good the dac is on this thing compared to a good dap, like only comparing sound ofc as it’s the only thing that matters really for music players.
@@ayylmao8562 “Sound is the only thing that matters” There exist DACs that plug into the lightning port. The DAC can be as good as you want it to. Sound is not the only thing that matters.
Dank always has a lot of genuine happiness in his videos but this one hit different. I think he got a bit emotional when he started to introduce the sponsor, seeing as freelance artists are going through a really rough time right now with the pandemic and all. Could be overthinking. Thanks for STILL making good content for us dank
my music teacher is blind(not like legaly "blind" she coudnt see since birth), she uses an ipod touch for the lessons thanks to the accesebilty options
My mother has been fully blind her entire life as well, and has similarly been exclusively using apple products for about 10 years now if memory serves me correctly. Apple kills it in the accessibility market
@@alecwhatshisname5170 legally blind just means your vision is extremely poor. basically If a person can see an object clearly from 200 feet away a legally blind person would need to be 20 feet away to see it as clearly.
Just so you know, legally blind people count just as much as completely blind people. The vast majority of blind people have some remaining vision. Only about 3% of blind people see absolutely nothing.
Great vid! Saving some of my favorite lines here for future reference: 6:45 “I had the scratch the word ‘dingus’ in it.” 13:24 “I have Roller Coaster Tycoon… ONMYEYEPOD” 16:48 “I can’t play more than that, otherwise Disney will come and kill me.”
You have to give credit to apple for pushing the tech industry forward. Apple invented: A colour monitor, A (home) computer with a GUI And mouse support, Easily buying music and stopping piracy for sometime, The click wheel which made scrolling through thousands of songs incredible fast and easy and also making a device which can browse the internet and take phone calls at the same time.
I still remember when the first iPod Touch was called The iTouch. Digging through my junk drawer, I found my "old" iPod Touch 5th gen and booted it up after.... 8 years of stasis. Little goober still holds a charge and had all my old games and videos. I found myself happily passing time with it, not realizing how much less stressed I was vs using my phone lol.
You had me break out my old Ipod Touch (5th Gen) from the bottom of the bag after seeing this video. Ever since quarantine started, I haven't used it -- and it was my babysitter (well, babysitting ME hahaha) for the past six years. :)
8bit phoenix actually it doesn’t break that much on falls ( I own two gen 6 ) but the battery will probably destroy it before wear and tear. And the battery busted means the device is done for.
What is it about Apple that you hate? I don’t get why people trash on stuff for no reason. When people say it’s overpriced garbage, I don’t see any other devices from the mid 2000s that are still usable. If you just prefer Android fair enough. I prefer much prefer windows but use a Mac because I was sick of having to maintain or upgrade a PC
Andrew Sine fair enough, people just get so aggro for either side. Yeah it’s only small maintenance every so often unless you let it build up, but tbh I much prefer a computer that I don’t need to think about until I get a new one. It’s all personal pref no need for war
@@ryleypalmer that's what I'm saying I like android and windows some people like iphones and mac's but theres such an unneeded war honestly I only like android for customization that's really it
The iphone was AT&T exclusive in the states for awhile so I think originally the ipod touch was a great way to have the iphone experience disconnected from a phone plan. It was also a way to give kids/young teens an iphone-like device without actually going all inbon the cellphone (now tablets/ipads are more a thing). It was quite awhile into the cellphone era that ‘getting first cellphone’ became a milestone event.
I come back to this video every now and then, but this video is an excellent example of: 'People don't know what they want'. Dank going over what everyone wanted in a 'classic' music player for the modern-day, the iPod Touch meets all those requirements, and there's still going to be people out their snubbing their noses at it, even though it's everything you asked for.
I saved up and had an actual iPhone, and lots of ppl in my school with iTouches would tell me "well mine is just as good as long as I'm in wifi and have Skype, cos Skype calls real numbers" and it was like,, well so can my laptop, but my laptop isn't a phone, lol
AKA child's first phone. I actually got one of these for my like 9th birthday, it was one of the later generations (it got iOS 7 and more). I called it my "phone" pretty much until I got an actual phone like 2-3 years later. To be fair, I was fairly justified in that description, since I pretty much exclusively used it to FaceTime my friends (I'd use FaceTime audio only so that I could really sell the "phone" aspect), watch RUclips, and play games.
I heard a story that when Steve Jobs was handed the original "Ipod" he threw it in his office fish tank and then pointed out to the designers all the air was escaping and that the design could be more compact. Honestly don't know if this is true or not.
32GB is too low for the cheapest, 64 would be perfect but the 128GB model is a nice modern private content player 👍 256GB one is pretty friggin expensive
Maybe from Apple, but many other DAPs are being made by various companies, and sound much better and have support for more music file types like DSD and MQA and higher audio resolutions. Plus they tend to have dedicated play/pause/skip/back buttons in addition to the touch screen.
Oleg I don't really think audiophile grade audio is important for portable players, considering I can't hear the difference between crusty lowest quality music on Spotify and FLACs over all the background noise that comes from having to use headphones that let through noise so I don't get run over by a car I didn't notice.
Sure it was a pain in the bum to edit but I really like this long form video. Would definitely like to see longer videos across all your channels. No matter what content you produce it's aways a joy to watch.
It's because of the personality that he gives. It's funny and its goofy and silly, but he adds real personality to the seriousness and the facts. He explains the actual information in an easy and understanding way, but one that is interesting and fun to watch.
A musician… an artist… telling us what is proper from his perspective on everything from musical storage devices to audiophile setups to headphones is definitely proper… m8 does us proud and I swear most people shove listening to his input on common ground things we all like including him
@@illford because they can do just as much as the new ones. Like the Galaxy S7 and the Edge are still popular to this day, still just as functional and useful to this day. Pixel 2, not that old, but if you ask me, probably the best one other than the 3a. Here's hoping the 5 isn't as disappointing as the 4. Basically all OnePlus phones are still great to this day. The 5t will officially get Android 10, and the 6 and 6t are still the bomb. The 7, 7t, and their pro versions are all awesome and will continue to be for years to come. The 8 and the 8 pro were a disappointment if you ask me... But most anyone can only get incremental upgrades right now with the slower rate tech is moving at.
@@_-_--_ I totally forgot about those guys. The nexus 6 guys are just as annoying as the note 4, and s3 guys. Although, they're a sort of dying breed... I don't hear much from them anymore, but it is a great phone, I can't deny that. They're all great phones, but man the people who continue to use them are so annoying. I get that you're happy where you are, but it's not that hard to find a great upgrade these days. The Note 9 is still $300 I think, and that was the perfect phone of that year, minus the price at the time. The pixel 4a and 3a are still smooth, and plenty fast, and cheap. Sometimes you just have to move on.
the ipod touch is amazing for even more than you said here, "its the iphone without the phone" part was perfectly describing it, i think most people choose the classic over the touch for that reason however, the charm, nostalgia (and of course the PRICE) makes people want to go to the classic and save the games and streaming services for their phone instead.
@@Robbity Yea that's about as long as mine lasts... I took it in to the apple store for a diagnostic and they said it's running at 100% optimization/capacity or whatever... so I will probably buy a small battery pack with a pouch and keep it all together! it does charge SUPER fast which is nice :-)
I've only ever owned a single ipod in my life and it was my mom's old ipod touch. I'm not a crazy ipod fan and I may never own another one for the rest of my life potentially, yet there's nothing I like to watch more on youtube than your vids. Your personality is electrifying, it's like I'm sitting down with a friend I haven't gotten to see for a year, I always feel refreshed. Thank you Mr. DankPods, (if that's even your real name).
Same! I want an iPod Classic or video now lmao and if my new pixel 4a runs out of storage (unlikely though, 128 gb) I might just get a 2019 iPod touch. Btw I like how you say "if that's even your real name", when clearly it's not really a viable last name xD
My mom bought one of these for herself! I was SHOCKED at how thin it was. I thought it was a great little thing! Fit all her music on there flawlessly. I'm big into protection, so I bought her a clear-back case (she's rocking gold too and wanted to make sure she can still see it), a screen protector, and a cute little pouch. I'm big into this idea!
Pour one out for the nugget with the touch screen, boys. Apple announced it's getting discontinued today, leaving a bittersweet taste in the mouths of many who were hoping for one more refresh!
The thing i love about the classic 'iPod' it's the magic when you're listening you're music. I take my 3rd gen ipod and it's just amazing, and i really enjoy the old games to be honest. I 100% recommend this channel, and it's the one i'm most aware of not losing any video. Good luck, and thanks for the experience.
I love and still use my 160 GB iPod classic 7th generation mp3 player (as well as my 120 GB iPod classic) and I transferred hundreds of CD albums onto it (and bought the odd album or song on iTunes too several years ago). :)
I adore this video, because it's a fantastic boiling down of just how friggen amazing handheld technology is today. All of these features, all of this storage, all of this convenience and SO much more, and it's a few ounces in weight and fits in your pocket. We have sci-fi touch screen super computers in our pockets and they've become so normal it's easy to take that for granted!
Same here die hard android user (favorite is the pixels I have a 3 now) but now I'm just looking for a good financing plan for it selecting dingus etching and ordering it
I'll have you know I just got the Samsung Z Flip 4 so I can do that dope flick open the cellphone trick. It took me a few tries to get the muscle memory working to do it. But it's dope having a bloody Flip phone in 2022.
600mb for spirited away which is 2h long, how? what resolution? I remmember having 30min anime episode at 720p being 300mb, it's clean though even if I fullscreen it on a 1080p monitor.
I love my iPod touch 7th gen perfect for my music when I go to the gym and bodybuild don’t want to be distracted by notifications also perfect for my truck or car it’s a perfect 2nd device
IT looks like and old ass iphone which is exactly what it literally is.If you wanna an offline device just get a second phone and don't put a sim card in it *rolls eyes*
Dark For what it’s worth, I got one recently and I love it. I wanted to try iOS on a phone sized device, and I wanted to replace my 7th gen iPod Nano. It’s quite speedy, and I like the design. Tbh I think I’ll get an iPhone when my Samsung goes, this iPod blows my Samsung out of the water even though my Samsung has 3 times the RAM, and a newer processor. Now, my Samsung has been reduced to pretty much calling and texting only. I really like how the touch looks, I like the colour and the size. I wish I could just throw a SIM card in here, but oh well. So imo, the iPod does have a reason to exist, but I think it should stay in the “music” section of Apple’s website, as I’m aware it’s kind of a niche device.
@@Andrew982_ the slowdowns are likely due to you installing all kings of crap on that samsuck device. An oldass iphone 6 (what your ipod is) should not be faster than any new device, even if it's a samsuck, which is actually a pretty bad android device. Only a custom unofficial rom could maybe save that one. I have nothing against niche devices.. I mean I wish they would still make the pocket pc, make the screen bigger, make device thinner, but keep it a pocket pc, keep the stylus, keep windows mobile the pc style, don't try to make it smartphone style, with big ui elements. keep the dpad and the four buttons on the bottom because these are used to play the games.. I really loved these device.. but the problem here with ipod touch is that it looks exactly like iphone and works like one too, this in my opinion isn't ipod, it's an old iPhone without the phone, sold as new.
Dark I actually like the design and size of the Touch, if apple rereleased the same Touch but with an A12 and a little more RAM and SIM support for like $250 I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I love the design and size of this thing.
The only issue with the new "ipod classic" touch... I would imagine the battery will die alot quicker than the original classic. At least my ipod touch did... after about 6 months of use it was dying really quick.
This honestly is awesome. Making me want this setup so bad. I’d be interested to see how inbuilt DAC compares to the iPod Classic or even something like a Dragonfly Black.
Eletronics enthusiast here! From the tehnical side of things the DAC's in almost all devices perform the same. They have the same characteristics and the differences between them if any are too minor to notice. Now if we talk about output amps I can say that they perform differently and sound differently according to what the manufacturer wants. But often they use a flat output that again just doesn't sound that different. The biggest difference in sound that I find is with different speakers or iems that I might use, makes sense because these are made to sound differently. Looking at this from a audiophile perspective I can say that I find differences in different devices only if I know that I am listening to a particular device. If it is a blind test I can't hear a difference. Makes me question my mind when comparing a Shanling to a Ipod. Both sound amazing.

You know, the art of not putting a SIM card into your phone.
Smol entertainment device
me too
That moment when you have to explain people that yes, not relying on the Internet 24/7 is good, bezels are good to hold stuff, small size is good to hold in hands, headphone jacks are useful, an actual physical buttons are useful too... (by the way this newer iPod sounds great because they actually added a good DAC inside it, the Wolfson Media chips that manufacturers use when they care about sound quality, also present on.... the PSP!)
It's sort of weird and sad how the industry went and how the consumers just accept this...
Damn, I feel old with this. But proud of being so.
Cheers to being old!
Hold on a sec. The PSP had a Wolfson DAC?! O.O Dude, this randomly blew my mind into orbit!
I totally agree with you. I don't get people who moan about foreheads and chins - i grew up with them and they are super useful. Ever tried holding an all-screen phone with one hand while eating ice-cream with another and deciding you need your phone in landscape? Your hand will _love_ it! xD On those older stuff? Just pick on the bezel - done!
But hey, we gotta teach the young ones what the oldies used to do, ey? ^-^
That explains why I thought the PSP had good audio back in the day. A bit clumsy to use as an audio player though.
Wait, does the new iTouch use a Wolfson DAC now?
Ingwie Phoenix that’s an oddly specific scenario. What’s even more odd is that I went through it just today lol. Didn’t have a problem flipping my iPhone X, though. I don’t think the bezels make that big a difference.
@@RiveTheRat Hang on, that one might be the Cirrus Logic ones... Now I'm in doubt... (EDIT: To add to confusion, Cirrus Logic seems to produce some of the Wolfson DACs... so... something is happening that sounds good)
Either way they finally added good stuff on them after the iPhones got popular, I remember back in the Classic days the frequency response never managed a flat line bellow ~60Hz, but later on that stopped being an issue

My mother has been fully blind her entire life as well, and has similarly been exclusively using apple products for about 10 years now if memory serves me correctly. Apple kills it in the accessibility market
@@alecwhatshisname5170 legally blind just means your vision is extremely poor. basically If a person can see an object clearly from 200 feet away a legally blind person would need to be 20 feet away to see it as clearly.
Just so you know, legally blind people count just as much as completely blind people. The vast majority of blind people have some remaining vision. Only about 3% of blind people see absolutely nothing.

You have to give credit to apple for pushing the tech industry forward.

The iphone was AT&T exclusive in the states for awhile so I think originally the ipod touch was a great way to have the iphone experience disconnected from a phone plan. It was also a way to give kids/young teens an iphone-like device without actually going all inbon the cellphone (now tablets/ipads are more a thing). It was quite awhile into the cellphone era that ‘getting first cellphone’ became a milestone event.

I come back to this video every now and then, but this video is an excellent example of: 'People don't know what they want'. Dank going over what everyone wanted in a 'classic' music player for the modern-day, the iPod Touch meets all those requirements, and there's still going to be people out their snubbing their noses at it, even though it's everything you asked for.
"iPhone without the phone", that's exactly how I've said always about the iPod touch :)
Thats true. I think a lot of people's first apple products were one of these. I know my family shared my mom's ipod when we were younger.
Phone but without phone
I saved up and had an actual iPhone, and lots of ppl in my school with iTouches would tell me "well mine is just as good as long as I'm in wifi and have Skype, cos Skype calls real numbers" and it was like,, well so can my laptop, but my laptop isn't a phone, lol
AKA child's first phone.
I actually got one of these for my like 9th birthday, it was one of the later generations (it got iOS 7 and more). I called it my "phone" pretty much until I got an actual phone like 2-3 years later.
To be fair, I was fairly justified in that description, since I pretty much exclusively used it to FaceTime my friends (I'd use FaceTime audio only so that I could really sell the "phone" aspect), watch RUclips, and play games.
This is it actually. The full iPhone without any phone functionality.
I heard a story that when Steve Jobs was handed the original "Ipod" he threw it in his office fish tank and then pointed out to the designers all the air was escaping and that the design could be more compact. Honestly don't know if this is true or not.
It was true yes but completely unrelated 😂
It was an famous aquarium
It is true. Steve Jobs biography :)
well mate, now you gotta get a first gen and shove it in a fish tank

You just convinced me the iPod touch is the best dedicated music player in 2020.
32GB is too low for the cheapest, 64 would be perfect but the 128GB model is a nice modern private content player 👍

@@DankPods wise man
@@DankPods I only need 32GB So far....
Maybe from Apple, but many other DAPs are being made by various companies, and sound much better and have support for more music file types like DSD and MQA and higher audio resolutions. Plus they tend to have dedicated play/pause/skip/back buttons in addition to the touch screen.
Oleg I don't really think audiophile grade audio is important for portable players, considering I can't hear the difference between crusty lowest quality music on Spotify and FLACs over all the background noise that comes from having to use headphones that let through noise so I don't get run over by a car I didn't notice.

Dark don’t be bad for iPod touch
Dark For what it’s worth, I got one recently and I love it. I wanted to try iOS on a phone sized device, and I wanted to replace my 7th gen iPod Nano. It’s quite speedy, and I like the design. Tbh I think I’ll get an iPhone when my Samsung goes, this iPod blows my Samsung out of the water even though my Samsung has 3 times the RAM, and a newer processor. Now, my Samsung has been reduced to pretty much calling and texting only. I really like how the touch looks, I like the colour and the size. I wish I could just throw a SIM card in here, but oh well. So imo, the iPod does have a reason to exist, but I think it should stay in the “music” section of Apple’s website, as I’m aware it’s kind of a niche device.
@@Andrew982_ the slowdowns are likely due to you installing all kings of crap on that samsuck device. An oldass iphone 6 (what your ipod is) should not be faster than any new device, even if it's a samsuck, which is actually a pretty bad android device. Only a custom unofficial rom could maybe save that one. I have nothing against niche devices.. I mean I wish they would still make the pocket pc, make the screen bigger, make device thinner, but keep it a pocket pc, keep the stylus, keep windows mobile the pc style, don't try to make it smartphone style, with big ui elements. keep the dpad and the four buttons on the bottom because these are used to play the games.. I really loved these device.. but the problem here with ipod touch is that it looks exactly like iphone and works like one too, this in my opinion isn't ipod, it's an old iPhone without the phone, sold as new.
Dark I actually like the design and size of the Touch, if apple rereleased the same Touch but with an A12 and a little more RAM and SIM support for like $250 I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I love the design and size of this thing.

40 hours music they say, it does drain faster only cause I find myself playing RCT on it.
Basically the battery drains faster cause I use it more.
Yeah im had the same problem with my iPod touch 5, It really died quickly
My iPod touch 5 battery lasts so long
That’s really the only thing that sucks, replacing the battery. There’s not just screws, but tons of glue and soldering too.
KoopaMedia64 yeah replacing the screen is also horrible. You gotta unscrew the logic board because the ribbon cable connector is on the back :/
Man i love this he's great i love his energy and how makes even the most boring videos entertaining i'm literally binge watching his videos right now.
love his appreciation for basic tech that does one job really well rather than something that does 100 things ok.
This honestly is awesome. Making me want this setup so bad. I’d be interested to see how inbuilt DAC compares to the iPod Classic or even something like a Dragonfly Black.
Eletronics enthusiast here! From the tehnical side of things the DAC's in almost all devices perform the same. They have the same characteristics and the differences between them if any are too minor to notice. Now if we talk about output amps I can say that they perform differently and sound differently according to what the manufacturer wants. But often they use a flat output that again just doesn't sound that different. The biggest difference in sound that I find is with different speakers or iems that I might use, makes sense because these are made to sound differently. Looking at this from a audiophile perspective I can say that I find differences in different devices only if I know that I am listening to a particular device. If it is a blind test I can't hear a difference. Makes me question my mind when comparing a Shanling to a Ipod. Both sound amazing.
