iPod Touch 2015 Review!

2015-07-17
I totally meant to do that hey what is up guys I'm cubby HD 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 2-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 1 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 iPod touches as you would expect we all know iOS handles 1 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 90's kids grew up with Game Boys and PS PS I can 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 4 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 alright and again it's still an iPod so it's a media player it's something 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 bendgate 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 1003 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 5s camera in fact I think a lot of the parts like the camera here and the display come from the iPhone 5 so 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 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'm 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 my nerd cousins they're about 10 years old right now she got up to John and RJ if you're watching this 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 thank you for watching this video if we hit that like button below if you enjoyed or even better there's a subscribe button below that if you want to see more videos like this also uh I don't need this one anymore I have an iPhone that I used and I was in Apple music on it so I don't need this iPod so I'm gonna go ahead give this one away so it enter to win this exact ipod below that like button there's a comment section if you're a subscriber just go ahead and leave a comment letting me know you want to win and I'll pick one random winner from anywhere in the world in one week and announce that winners name on Twitter so got and stay tuned there that's it thanks for watching and good luck peace
