I like iPods and MP3 players. I don’t want all my music on my phone clogging it up. I also want to listen to music, audio books,podcasts without draining my phone battery or getting interrupted
I used to take my old phone to work for this reason but my old phone died and I was like maybe I'll get an ipod
Emily Kinsella exactly
Same here!
Thank you Emily same here
Spot on, but DankPods is for some reason, the only person on TH-cam who seems to preach that fact.
All you need to know is....
The biggest difference between the iPad and iPod Touch is the size. Making the iPod Touch more pocketable.
Finally a review that clarifies this. So disappointed when my iPad didn’t fit in my front pocket.
Lmfao
cant you also call and text from the ipod???
@@cyb3rjake735 on wifi
Why tf would you expect a iPad to fit in your pocket...
@@user-qv6pg3mx3i if you're not joking I'm gonna evaporate
I run my whole smart home from an iPod Touch 7 so yeah it's worth it
Domagoj Matijević that’s actually a great idea. Do you use it as a remote or is it mounted to a wall?
Nick Maillet remote
Nick Maillet Why not use an used iPad? Plus you can use it as a home hub.
Candbot Chan using an iPod touch as a remote seems more portable than an iPad. I guess if it was mounted to a wall then an iPad is the obvious solution. But an iPod touch could be the perfect couch companion.
Really??? Would you mind explaining more?
Just wanted this only for music purpose. It’s freaking perfect. Why do you always want to play games?
Same her and I just a Gold one yesterday. The video recording playback is awesome.
Apple needs to drop the price to $99
They should
30-40? Maybe
Or you can.. not buy it?
@@nmlx7710 I actually would take iPod over iPhone. My only sole intention is to try out iOS, so the iPod makes perfect common sense.
Alex way too cheap
I am a longtime Android user. I'm on Sprint, so I'm stuck with my S7Edge. The iPod was a great investment for me, now I have the best of both worlds 🤷♂️
I use my iPod Touch for listening to audiobooks using the Overdrive (public library) App, just download the books, grab my headphones and I’m good to go.
SeniorTurtle22 try Libby. You’ve probably seen ads for it on overdrive. I think it’s better because you get the same books and you can download your books and audiobooks to listen offline.
TwoThings AtOnce I agree. I only use overdrive for my kobo. Libby is far better.
@@diegoarabit1202 yes i use Libby for some nighttime reading and it’s much more efficient than overdrive
Definitely worth it because i dont want to pay for cellular network or streamed music
Alexandre Fauchon then how do you listen to music?
@@christopherruiz6029 Spotify when on wi-fi and downloaded when there is no wi-fi
Alexandre Fauchon so you are paying for streamed music....
Christopher Ruiz no I use Spotify web player
@@alexandrefauchon7755 so you have to pay for WiFi?
I still use iPhone 7 plus, fast as the day i bought it :)
Mihael Same (with my iPhone 7)
Yes, @@Rhtcc_Dtcrtc; I fully subscribe!
It is still a great device. I agree with you.
Mihael i bought a iphone 7 way slower than then the day i got it in 2016
the battery health is 75%
SHIBA2000 mine is almost 3 years old and battery was at 86%. I got it replaced a few weeks ago, but even when it was 86, phone was fast and battery lasted day and a half without any problems!
Based on size alone, it's clear these serve two completely different customer scenarios so comparing them is, well, a bit silly. 😉
I totally agree.
I agree
I use several iPods. Love them, especially the classic. Don’t care about games or weather or anything else. Give me music storage and lots of it.
Is it worth it? If you want one then yes, so those saying no or who buys one nowadays, are making comments that are pointless and irrelevant. As is comparing it to an iPad which is not a portable music player or the iWatch which is an expensive luxury with a battery life of less then a day if you were using as a music player.
I’ve had my current iPod for over five years. It’s tough, small and the battery lasts for ages and still seems as good as when I brought it. It saves me killing the battery on my, much more expensive phone.
I don’t get why people who don’t think it’s worth it, make such a big deal about it. Why do you care? Move on and let those of us who do like it, enjoy it. No one is saying you have to buy it.
Yeah, people just treat iPod like trash nowadays.... I think Apple might change it again soon
Took the words right out my mouth frank exactly
heres the thing, there are still plenty of reason for using it.
. for kids to use.
. for developers and busniess
. as a secondary device/ mp3 player
. as a gift
. as a gaming device
. and, as a back up.
Probably more that I'm missing out on. It hold more reasons then tech TH-camrs are showing you. Plus, if it weren't for the iPod, your favorite IOS or Android device wouldn't exist. But it is turning 20 years next year, so maybe apple will discontinue it. But that mac line up is still going strong. so maybe it will survive. BTW, the apple watch IS NOT an ipod.
Yeah, especially about the Apple Watch. Can the Apple Watch play 1,000 songs? No. Does Apple Watch have a headphone jack? No. Sorry 9to5mac, but you wrong.
I need a device to play music for my birds when I’m gone That can access my Apple Music account. i’m gonna pick one of these up open box off Amazon for 140
Mr Dannie I have a iPhone XR and a iPad Pro. Both really nice, but a iPod touch for me would be perfect. I can leave my phone in my room and use the iPod. Since the iPhone has text forwarding I can text on the iPod
@epic gamer iPods should be as small as possible. While the iPhone 7 is pretty small, it will never be as small as the iPod Touch.
@ Mr Dannie
Honestly, all the iphones users say the ipod 7 is not worth it, and to a certain degree that is right since its more powerful than the ipad Mini 4 released in 2015(Very slightly higher CPU due to A10)) The ipod touch isn't meant to compete with an iphone as a future proof device like the iphone 11 or X as it doesn't need to since it gets the same apps/games with 2GB Ram in a thinner, lighter device that is essentially a phone without the hassle of cellular contracts..plus the two disabled cores in ipod is better to prevent over heating. Ovarall, the ipod isn't much different to a 6s and is only 4 generations behind current iphone 11, which honestly isn't really that much better besides the future proof of 2x ram/storage/Cpu so I don't see the ipod 7 being outdated in games until 2022-2023 when 3GB base games is used. I will get this ipod soon in max 256 storage
My sister just had her 2nd grade awards ceremony & I promised her to get her an iPod Touch 7th generation as a present. For little kids I think this device is worth the money
The iPod Touch will always have a soft spot in my heart. It was the first iOS device I ever owned and loved the interface. Would I get the latest version, probably not. I don't need another device simply to play music. I wonder if they'll update it for 2020? If they did and gave us specs similar to the iPhone then I may purchase one.
My first iOS device is the iPad Mini 5
Yep discovering Apple device in 2019 xD
The iPod touch is cool but... Why no TouchID ?
I mean you have your account, some of apps etc so there must be a secure way to avoid people to mess that up
An a passcode is so... 2014 I guess
A13 with 3gb of RAM would be awesome
@@agaad22 I agree with you. I would buy one as a secondary device if they did that. (:
Meeeeee tooooo
I love mine
I still use Ipod Touch 2 generation for music on my motorcycle.
Nice
Can you please explain the setup, so that i can also do the same for my motorcycle, currently i use airpods pro inside my motorcycle helmet.
I love that
Wow!!
have an OLD nano that i use for music on my motorcycle but it is slowly dying. Looking to get the touch 7 to replace it
My iPod Classic 80 GB has been turning off on its own so within the past two months, purchased the iPod Touch 128 GB Product Red. I'm a hybrid user (PC, Android phone and iPod / Apple TV). I buy what works for me and not stuck on one ecosystem.
I feel like as an adult with an income, my kind of Pokémon is buying all Apple products. Gotta buy them all. Don’t know why, probably not wise, but it’s just noice connectivity I guess 🤷🏽♀️
send me
I still have thousands of songs in my itunes library that I listen to on an ipod touch 4... I refuse to put music on my phone due to battery and storage reasons. So this is for me. Plus I could integrate my library into apple music when apple discontinues selling individual songs all together.
I watched this video because I wanted to get information on audiobooks, music and the latest iOS. Unless I missed something this entire video was about games and comparing it to an iPad so yes… iPods are actually used for music and audiobooks… slick but disappointing video.
As a music player I think it’s nice. I wish they’d keep making it after this generation.
I hate being disturbed by calls when I am listening to meditations or music and subliminals so I prefer it as the phones are a pain when u want to listen to these things without being disturbed ! This helps tonnes in that aspect for me ! 😁 I bought it just for the heck of it and ever since I am using the pink one I am so in love with it ! I don’t have to wait until a call stops ringing on its own to continue listening to my music or meditations 😁
As a non-apple person, I see the iPod touch as an appealing alternative to iPads for playing music with a portable midi controller. A portable speaker (with aux, of course), a midi controller and some lightweight music making apps make for a dreamy, fun and portable setup
Although I don't think music COMPOSITION apps are very good for the screen size... iPad/full PC is king there. But for live playing and noodling, this has appeal for sure
Music lovers absolutely knows ...
I just got one today in red color! ❤️
Hi... Thinking of getting 1 today...Are they any good?
That's cool I want one too
Well not me since i already have a I phone 11 purple
lucky you😥
Meeee in pink
ive always liked the ipod touch. ive had 3 in my life.. damn near bulletproof.. my ipod touch 16gb gen 5 survived 16 washes in the washing machine full cycle, screen shattered on its last spindry .. never owned an iphone other than the SE, they hold a special place in my heart. im looking to buy a 7th gen next week.. lovely machines with thier own unique aura really
Great review except one thing... how do these sound? As music players against the other devices on the market?
dude's hands are huge - check him out palming that ipad
I don't care how pampered everyone seems to have become, a 200 dollar gadget is NOT for children.
@Space Munky You sound self-entitled.
You sure?
If a parent can afford it, sure it is. My kids have limited screen time - 30 minutes on weekdays, 45 minutes on weekends - so I'm not one of those parents who uses screens to nullify their kids, but an iPod Touch or an iPad Mini are great for kids. The iOS ecosystem of education apps and age-appropriate games is unmatched. There's nothing "pampered" about wanting kids to grow up with some digital skills so long as it's appropriated limited and remains a healthy tool not an addiction.
@Space Munky 200 dollars can get you redmi note 8 smh
mitsos guess what I bought it w/ my own money from allowance and imma kid
I'm not a fan of apple but a lot of people I know use apple so I have an iPod 7 to fit into their "ecosystem" and I also use a pixel 3a. Best of both worlds
Same here. I just picked up an iPod 7 since my gf has an iPhone X, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S10. So it helps fit into their ecosystem
Yeah FaceTime and iMessage are great for android users who don’t want an Apple product but who want to fit into their ecosystem
To be honest, I'd take iPod over iPhone or even iPad. Because my only sole intention is to try out iOS without being my primary daily driver, why should I bother with four figure iPhones? Heck, I don't even bother about the lack of mobile connectivity as I can hook it up to my Mobile WiFi broadband for Internet connection.
I use my seventh generation iPod touch for everything. Honestly I Don’t Care what people think of me because I use an iPod in 2020. I have an iPhone 11 but I still use the iPod touch for almost everything.
if apple really wanted to
they could have made the ipod better each year. the ipod is convenient. not everyone wants to have music in their cell, takes up too much space.
Personally, I'd like to see a slightly bigger iPod.
You can’t really compare the iPod touch and the iPad. They are completely different products for different types of people. With that said I would agree with you. The 10.2 in IPad is a much better deal for what your getting.
Not when we’re not sure if there’s an updated model coming soon... 😅
(I personally think, even as it is, it still provides value to some people & it can fulfill certain specific needs. And that headphone jack! 😍❤️)
I just bought one I'm going to use it when I go to the gym
can you still dowload music in your computer and then pass it to the ipod? Does Itunes still works for this?
@@milenajimenez2 As long as you disable iCloud music library.
One thing to consider now is that the Ipad still doesn't have the Health app while the Ipod does. Ios 14 now support almost hearing aid like amplification using the air pod pro earbuds. But you have to have access to the Health App to import a hearing test. Unless you have an expensive iphone you are out of luck with an Android.
Of course it is worth it. Very disturbing when RICH & BORED youtubers question good and affordable products in the title. $1000-2000 phones are not worth it.
It's not a pun towards 9to5Mac though. More towards the likes of MKBHD etc.
I still have my 4th generation and I love it! Keep making them Apple
It’s all about nostalgia for me. I own the iPhone XS Max, iPad 12.9 third gen. as well as 1st gen SE witch I love.. and the iPhone 7 Plus.. I just really love the small form factor of an older device with a slightly updated chip and iOS 13.
im getting one just for music and maybe a little Netflix. Would you think it would be good for that?
I love my ipod glad I went and picked one up . I want to own my music so apple music is a no go for me.
DeAndre thank you Apple Music is bullshit I huge music library better than Apple Music algorithm
As far as music goes, I just import my mp3 files from my PC external hard drive to the iPod.
I never knew 9to5 Mac does rewind ,I thought only pocketnow does , can we have a rewind for the iPad Pro plz.
i was watching marques brownlee and searched up ipod and this came up posted 5 hours ago.
Perfect timing
"The biggest difference between the iPad and iPod Touch is the size. Making the iPod Touch more pocketable. "
ah yes, the floor is made of floor
Great video. I have an iPod touch 6th generation, which is breaking and I’m not interested in getting the 7th. I wonder if they’ll do an 8th generation, would they make it the size of a Pro Max iPhone? Thanks again for a great video
Nah it should be the size of maybe the iPhone 11 or the iPhone 8 for ppl who want a bigger screen but not that big
And have Touch ID or even Face ID
LifeIsShørt I agree on both counts
Apple Watch is not as good of a music player as iPod nano 6 in terms of UI
Which apple watch is it? And does the music play ON the apple watch or does it control the music on a apple phone and the volume?
Had it for the last 7 months I love it
How is the battery?

My recommendation is just get a smatphone and a ipod for the best of both worlds and I will get this ipod soon in max 256 storage
I already have iPhone XR. Is buying iPod just for listening music worth it?
It’s a sweet piece of tech as usual from apple and that blue my goodness why doesn’t my phone come in that blue!
Watching this makes me wanna buy one. Lol. I love the iPod's. Don't need one considering I bought a MacBook Pro in May and have a cell phone. Might buy this though to use with my laptop since I don't have an iPhone.
Don't compare a music player to a tablet, they weren't built for the same stuff.
How could any device be hold in landscape mode and with your fingers not covering up the speaker? That's just being picky. Even iPhone 11 Pro Max has muffled speakers when u use it in landscape mode. Granted, there is the earpiece that could also give our sound, but the sound is still greatly interfered.
For games maybe switch lite? For mobile games and control things at home, iPhone?
Apple tv 4k or ipod touch 7?
Which one is better for multimedia?
Great review on Apples smallest iOS device. I still own an older one. It stays in nite stand drawer.
I have a super nice iPod touch 7 and I love it!
My nano is on its last days and I'm looking to upgrade. Went into the Apple store and they laughed at my nano lol The nano is perfect for working out and this looks relatively small.
I have an earlier version of the I Pod Touch I have a lot of music files and the I Pod save space from my phone I pad is too big to take on the go so yes the I Pod is still worth it
These things are so cool to get as your first Apple device.you will love it.
It is a music player, pointless to criticize on gaming
Applications don’t support the 4-inch display anymore. Suddenly all things changed, icons and blocks inside the apps became more and more larger, the keyboard occupies near 60% space of the display. Holy ****, why force us switch to a bigger mobile device？😤
I just bought this 32 gig version for £195 and tbh I think I should have looked at the smaller iPod classics? I don’t want it for anything other then music. I just hope the sound quality with provided headphones sound decent.
I think the Nintendo Switch Lite makes for a much more competent lightweight, portable dedicated gaming machine for $200. However, I do think the iPod 7 is really good as a mobile device that isn't strictly a gaming device.
Apple needs to make a new iPod 6 inch.. thin. I’ll get it in a heartbeat.
I like the iPod touch to use iMessage when I’m home and don’t want to be using my phone.
I have a iPhone 7 and it works amazing
Plan to get the iTouch 256G. I still have an iPod Classic 160G from 2008 and still works great, but it is time for an upgrade, plus I don't want the expense of an iPhone.
Makes a great Lan utility device. Phone on the charger, iPod touch makes a great iMessage and text message forwarding tool when an iPad is either not desirable or not economically feasible. Manage the network etc. overkill for an ecosystem but it has its use.
Any advise...I have a IPOD 5th gen and the battery just won't last..I have no Apple store where I live and Best buy said it is vintage so no Battery in stock and can not help me. What can I do? Do I just have to get a new IPOD? What is the cost ratio factor to get a new battery?
Me and my cousins love songs and we’ve downloaded over over 10 gigs of songs offline so I’d like to bye an iPod just to save songs in one place
Kush Unadkat is thinking about getting one too
Does the 7th gen iPod allow you to use apple wallet? Like can you make payments to an Apple Card on it?
No liar
Terrific MP3 player combined with a Bose speaker and downloading tracks from Apple Music !
I have been thinking about this! I have one without the newer chip and battery life is sad... but I love keeping one hooked up around my sounds setup
Only if apple add extra buttons like “prev” , “play/pause” , “next” just like other DAP out there, i think it would be amazing.
I bought one as an iOS beta testing device. Currently running iOS 15 PB on it. And I know it will run out of software support soon, but when it does run out of updates my current iPhone will likely take its place.
Companies still use these for inventory and POS devices. They will not go away.
If you're looking for a pocketable media device, you're not looking for an iPad. It's kinda weird that the second half of the review became a comparison.
It’s a music device. It’s got the 3.5mm jack. It’s ultra portable. Why does this video exist?
I want one as a secondary device solely for music. not sure if it’s worth it, I have two good phones, yet they’re not as thin as an itouch
i currently have an iphone XR but i’m looking into a 256 ipod touch because i have a lot of purchased music and tv shows and movies through itunes! i want it as a media player:)
Should i get a blue or red one
I got ipod touch 7th for music and some games
Does the ipod touch have a voice recorder?

Ur hands are so f ing big, how the heck you can handle an iPad so big with one hand?
hows the battery when gaming + bluetooth headphones?
I’ve not seen an armband for an iPad 7 yet, so I’ll stick to my trusty iPod touch which I only use for music.
Do I need to go on my laptop to download podcasts or music to this or can I do it without needing laptop-computer ????
You don’t need computer. Just go to podcast app and download the podcasts that you want. For music you go to iTunes Store to download songs.
i remember when everyone pretty much had an Ipod touch....now its like Ipod who?? i dont know when the last time i seen someone use one! i still have mine from way back when but i never use it anymore and unfortunately it wont even charge or turn on anymore.....which is a shame because i have a bunch of music on it....:/
I just want it for portable music, so it's perfect. Quite frankly, I preferred the older Ipod Nano 7th Generation as it's very small. UNfortunately, mine met with an accident so now have to replace it, as it's considered 'Vintage" by Apple and they won't repair it.
i have the 6th gen ipod touch i was wondering if i should upgrade i only use it for music and nothing else.? i also buy all my music on itunes.
Can't carry my phone at work. So this is the only option in 2020. But crazy to think that Apple was surrounded by so many iPods at one point. So let's get an updated iPod touch with at least Face ID unlock.
Portability is my top priority because imma use one as a gps and portable gaming device so I don't run my phone battery down.
The earpods sound amazing I don't know what your on about
Apple should release an ipod version with no camera to cut costs, 128gb starting storage and headphone jack near or same price of the airpods. So you either use bluetooth airpods on your phone or enjoy og music with wired headphones using a dedicated music player.
Nah. Keep the camera.
I think it’s pointless buy a used iPhone 7 for 150 or buy a on sale iPad for 250 because iPods never go on slee
CPU power really isn’t that bad and battery isn’t that bad, if you take the extra time to disable things in the settings and yes it’s small but let’s be real it’s not gonna last all day. I’d like it thicker if that’s what’s needed for a bigger battery life. I use this along with an iPad mini 5. Speed is not to different not like your gonna be waiting to long for apps to download or load. The speaker isn’t awful this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. There’s an eq in settings for you to change for music speaker is very good for its size loud to. TH-cam is great on here music and FaceTime. I’d say get this if you want a iPod touch 7 great little guy to own.
Can I easily transfer my music from my Ipod Nano 4th Gen to an Ipod Touch 7th Gen?
9to5Mac I'm hoping you or anyone in the comments can answer this question...I plan on buying this but not a single review I've watched discusses in depth actual music migration to the device! I have a huge physical music collection (hundreds of CDs), most of which are already downloaded to my iMac hard drive and iTunes. My iMac has been inoperable for about 6 years, so I haven't used it or iTunes, but copied my iTunes library, years ago, into Google Play Music (which is soon to be dead). It's my understanding that iTunes is also now dead, so my question is, will I be able to transfer all my CDs to this iPod? And how exactly would I do it? I do already have Apple Music, and plan on getting a MacBook in the near future. Is there a way I can transfer all of my iTunes content from my old hard drive to Apple Music? Or is that only an iTunes thing? Also, will I be able to use an optical drive to transfer any new music from CDs to this iPod Touch, via Apple Music or iTunes, or some other built in Apple way? I hope someone can answer these questions! It's been years since I've used an iPod or Mac and no one reviewing this product is focussing on it's original intention..which is music!!!!
Is this a review for an iPod or iPad. He talks a lot about other devices. I have an iPad, I just want to listen to music when I workout or whenever.
