hey I'm Nate Messina and today we're checking out the new iPod Touch now this tiny little gadget does many of the things your iPhone 6 does for fraction of the price but it sits in a really weird place as far as gadgets are concerned the iPod Touch is small it's got a four inch screen with a resolution of 1136 by 640 pixels that works out to 326 pixels per inch it's also really light at about 88 grams that makes it pretty much identical to the fifth generation iPod Touch it's replacing so here's what's new inside you'll find the iPhone 6 is hardware that means Apple's a a processor and that m8 coprocessor which handles motion tracking all of the games and apps you love on iOS who work here though you will of course need to stick to Wi-Fi as there's no cellular connectivity the camera hardware isn't identical you're getting an 8 megapixel iSight camera but things are a little slower on the iPod touch the aperture is a little narrower and video recording is limited to 30 frames per second or 120 frames per second in slow motion the iPhone 6 can double that but it's still HD and the test shots I've taken aren't bad I'll definitely circle back with more here soon the iPod Touch is also quite a bit cheaper than the iPhone 6 it starts at $199 for the 16 gigabyte model and it works all the way up to $399 for the 128 gigabyte model there is of course no contract an unlock iphone 6 start to 649 and then there's the monthly service fee to factor in so here's the thing devices like iPod used to be a great way to carry our massive music libraries around but our smart phones pretty much handle that nowadays then devices like the iPod touch became great fitness companions so you could no taking for a run or taking to the gym but we're probably using our smart phones to do that too and there are things like smartwatches that are trying to muscle in on that space this could be a neat gadget to give to a child as a sort of starter gadget but I'm pretty sure they'd prefer the larger tablet they're probably already using so where does that leave the iPod Touch let's figure that out head over to him to learn more I'm Nate thanks for watching
