hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with a review of the new iPod Touch 5th generation with a bigger screen and better camera this is clearly the best iPod Touch yet but is it worth the hefty price of entry the first thing that will jump out at you is the more colorful design the iPod Touch is available in several colors and thankfully all of them are much more durable than previous models it's also less than a quarter of an inch thin and weighs in it is super light three ounces using it feels great in the hand and that light weight means gaming is absolutely no problem take a close look and you'll see the same attention to details on the iPhone 5 with incredibly tight tolerances on bottom you'll see the headphone jack lightning port for charging and syncing along with the speaker it's still nothing spectacular but as long as you don't accidentally cover it up it's all right around back is the iPod Touch loop which is a little pop up button to attach a lanyard it works fine but I imagine most people will use it once and forget about it above is your antenna for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth which does stick out a bit and the camera LED flash and microphone I'll get into performance in a minute but one thing you should keep in mind is that the lens sticks out by about a millimeter so it's best to get a case you're protected up front you'll see the FaceTime HD front-facing camera and the new 4-inch Retina display unlike previous iPods which used an inferior panel the iPod Touch 5th generation screen looks practically identical to the iPhone 5 this is definitely a good thing as not only our viewing angles top notch but colors and resolution are among the best of any mobile device out there the larger screen also pays off while watching video compared to previous versions you get much more screen real estate used iOS 6 comes with the new iPod Touch and in general is very similar to previous versions you have access to the excellent app store with tons of great apps and games pretty much all of which work on the iPod you also have access to iMessages FaceTime and practically every app from the iPhone except for the phone app the iPod Touch 5th generation now includes Siri so as long as you connect you to Wi-Fi it's going to work just like on the iPhone - item 8 all you do is hold the home button Siri tell me a joke yes but it also is useful for other more important things like for example sports scores when is the next Chiefs game okay sports fans let's take a look the Chiefs Raiders game is October 28 2012 3:05 p.m. audio quality is respectable with the included Apple earpods if you're serious audiophile you probably won't be happy but then again you're probably not interested in an iPod either the camera is a 5 megapixel shooter with 1080p video and here it's a massive improvement from the last iPod quality isn't far off from smartphones like the iPhone 5 and galaxy s3 with decent color and plenty of detail with 5 megapixels to work with video on the iPod Touch is really impressive so is Sam here what kind of demo as I give them a big old belly rub yeah you like belly rubs huh yeah that's are nice but yeah does shooting Full 1080p and the video quality is almost identical to what you'll find on the iPhone 4s as well as the iPhone 5 which is really impressive considering this is only a 5 megapixel camera ok enough talking let's get back to the belly rubbing battery life is absolutely excellent with no cellular radio or GPS to worry about the iPod Touch should last through a day of all but the most demanding use and if you keep gaming to a minimum you should be able to get a couple days between recharges easy the iPod Touch remains in a league of its own no doubt I do wish Apple had made a 16 gigabyte version at a slightly lower price but considering you're basically getting an iPhone without the phone along with 32 gigabytes of storage for $300 I don't think it's an unreasonable price at all if you're looking for a great way to get into iOS this is a fantastic way to do it don't forget to hit up that like button and if you're interested in more videos like the unboxing gaming demo and more be sure to check out the rest of my ipod touch coverage here anyway I will catch you in the next one
