iPod Touch 5th vs 6th Generation Review!

2015-07-19
three years later apples six generation iPod Touch is here so let's stack is side-by-side against the previous generation see what's new and exactly how much faster it is so what's up guys Jonathan here with TLD and on the Left we have the fifth-generation iPod Touch and on the right the sixth generation there's a handful of new color for 2015 including the gold you see here but design wise they're nearly identical to screen size the resolution the dimensions and weight are all exactly the same but where the big change resides is actually under the hood the 5th gen sports an aged a5 processor with half a gig of ram whereas these 6 jen has a 64-bit a8 chip with a full gig of ram running Geekbench you can see the night and day difference between the two with these six generation iPod touch dishing out nearly seven times the single-core power and six times the multi-core power now what this means outside of just numbers is immensely smoother gaming quicker app loading times and overall just a much more responsive and fluid experience Leo's fortune is straight-up eye candy in terms of gameplay but it's not an overly demanding game so I figured I'd start here here the sixth generation plows through the load times and finishes up a decent amount of head of time of the fifth generation but where we see the real difference is is when we jump into something intensive 3dmark ice storm is a benchmark as opposed to an actual game but it does a fantastic job of showing off two things again the sixth generation iPod Touch absolutely tears to the low times and gets right into the gameplay whereas the fifth gen is like watching paint dry once it finally does load up though here's where you can see the drastic difference in gameplay with these six generation pumping out silky smooth footage and the fifth generation struggling dropping frames and is nothing but chop City the 2015 iPod Touch also features support for 802 11ac Wi-Fi which only really matters if you have the internet speeds and router to take advantage of but even in my case where I don't have mind-blowing internet speeds I saw nearly a 30 megabit per second bump on the download speeds with the newer iPod touch the other major overhaul between the two is the camera the new iPod touch jumps up from 5 to 8 megapixels and after testing the - it's definitely a noticeable and welcomed upgrade it's by no means an amazing camera but it's solid enough for most people who need to get a decent snap without the need to carry anything else with them video quality is also nice bump on the newer iPod touch I want to thank a lot of people we'll have fun with and appreciate is the 120 fps slow motion video like I mentioned in my unboxing to fall short of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus is 240 FPS but considering the 5th generation iPod Touch didn't have any slow motion at all it's a pretty sweet addition other small differences include the omission of the loop which I actually kind of liked it essentially was a recessed button that once pressed popped out and allowed you to attach a loop to the bottom corner which you could then throw around your wrist almost like a camera strap overall it's a pretty significant upgrade and more than anything shows how HD fifth generation iPod Touch has become I kind of wish Apple would have opted for a bigger screen and possibly touch ID but aside from that there's not a whole lot to complain about so thank you guys very much for watching hopefully this helped if you were looking forward to this comparison and I may or may not be giving away two of these my good buddy Austin Evans on Twitter our handles are down below follow us there for the details go hope Kogan on that like button if you want to win and I will see you guys later
