Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “iPod Touch 2015 Review!”.
So whoop, i totally meant to do that hey what is up guys mkbhd here and we finally have new ipods. You might not be able to tell unless you were following this stuff. In fact, you wouldn’t even see it if you went to apple.com it’s not on the tabs up top, but it’s a two-year-old long overdue refresh of the new ipod touch, and this is everything you need to know – that’s new about it. So first new thing is the updated specs.
So this new ipod touch is rocking an apple a8 chip and one gigabyte of ram, and this was the most needed part of the refresh. So now the benchmarks are a little bit below the current iphone, which is great and performance. All around is zippy and smooth. Just like the experience on a fresh, iphone or previous ipad touches, as you would expect, we all know ios handles one gigabyte of ram pretty well. So it’s still smooth and even gaming is great on this ipod and actually think that’s where it’s going to end up being the best reason to buy this. I wish the screen was a little bit bigger, but while a lot of us, 90s kids grew up with game boys and psps, i could see someone buying this in 2015 as their first handheld gaming console, so think about that. Now, speaking of the display, that’s actually the second major new thing, so it’s rocking a four inch retina display so 11 36 by 640, at 326 pixels per inch, nothing too crazy! Here, like i said, i wish it was a little bit bigger, but you know for watching videos and gaming.
It’S all right and again it’s still an ipod. So it’s a media player, it’s something you want to keep small and portable and believe me, they have done exactly that. This thing is still super thin and light at 6.1, millimeters, thin and 88 grams, but it’s still solid as a rock still so no bend gate issues here. The ipod touch is built very well and in this really thin body, they managed to fit two other new pieces of hardware. First is the very slightly larger battery.
This newest one is rocking 1043 milliamp hour battery, where the last ipod touch was a 1030 milliamp hour battery. So just a little tiny bit bigger, but you’ll actually see more of the battery life improvements thanks to new software and the new specs and the other thing. That’S new is the new camera so now you’re set with a new 8 megapixel camera with an f 2.4 aperture, it’s essentially on par with the iphone 5’s camera. In fact, i think a lot of the parts like the camera here and the display come from the iphone five, so it was top of the line a few years ago. Now it’s come.
A lot down in price makes sense for apple to finish out the stock of these parts, so the photos and videos will look pretty good and, yes, it does protrude a little bit from the back. I wish it didn’t, but oh well. Lastly, one thing: that’s not actually new is the home button, which is kind of disappointing, since that means there’s no touch id and also there’s no nfc, so no apple pay, no unlocking your phone with your fingerprint, no touching it to pay for apps, etc. Kind of wish it would have been there, it would have been nice to have, but it’s not here just a regular home button also that strap that used to be connected to the back of the ipod to hold it to your wrist.
That’S gone too. So it starts at 200 bucks even for the 16 gig and i think that’s a pretty good start. Even the 32 gig is probably a good deal, but i think once you go over that you’re getting into iphone price territory. So at that point, i’d probably not recommend it i’d actually say to get an iphone.
I also highly recommend this blue color, but it also now comes in silver, gold, space, gray, pink and red. So there you have it it’s that simple. That’S the 2015 ipod touch at the end of the day, it’s kind of hard to say who exactly this is for like who the typical customer of this is, but it’s basically someone who wants an iphone but can’t have an iphone so wants to get all the Same experiences, like it kind of reminds me of minor cousins they’re about 10 years old right now, shout out to john and rj. If you’re watching this uh, they can’t have an iphone right now, but they still can get something like this, which is a lot cheaper and has pretty much all the same pros of ios and all the games and apps that they like.
So that’s essentially who it’s for so there you have it.
