@Please enter a name Mine has seen better days too. The screen is lifting from the body due to what I’m assuming is the battery swelling. Just glad I moved onto the 7th gen one.
It’s an interesting hybrid between the iPhone 4S, with the A5 chipset, and the iPhone 5, with the larger display. It would be a fun A5 device to try and use as a daily driver and just see how far it can go alongside jailbreaking.
If it was released just a year later in 2013, the 5S had the A7 chipset and they could have put the A6 chipset like in the iPhone 5, or at least 1GB of RAM. Either one of those would have significantly helped long term.
Now that title unfortunately goes to the iPad, which isn’t a bad thing in and of itself. I never largely noticed how forgotten by Apple, it’s maker, it was. Could be partly my bad, as I only ever knew its existence through the App Store. I thought it was just an alternative to an iPhone, cell and everything. Now, it’s basically a better iTunes phone that runs iOS. It’s a good music player if you keep it plugged up into your car, or play music and shut the display.
This was my very first Apple product and I used it from 2012 up until the end of 2016 when I got an iPhone 6S for Christmas and that BLEW ME AWAY with how much faster it was in comparison. I'm still very nostalgic for this iPod though and whip it out from time to time for the memories
Yooo same story, my first apple product I used from 2012 to 2017, then I got an iPhone 6. I was really amazed on how fast & big the screen was back then!
same here. I first got my iPod touch 5th generation as my first Apple pruchase around 2015 and switched to the iPhone 6s in 2017. same experience about how fast the 6s was when comapring to the iPod. I still love my iPod tho, full of music and memories back in my high school year. my blue iPod has also become my signature item when my friends thinh of me, too :)))))))
This was my first ever apple device. I had it alongside my trusty 3ds when I was 10. I have fond memories of that era. Time flies Edit: I remember getting the 16gb version and was so surprised when I saw that it doesn't have a rear facing camera
Even today when I was out mowing the yard, I still used my iPod touch 2nd generation from 2008. How do you think it would hold up 13 years later? Well, it still plays offline music just fine and I can actually use it with any new bluetooth headphones since the 2nd gen iPod touch does have bluetooth, something that I didn't notice when I first bought it in early 2009.
@@sumone2997 yes, iTunes does still seem to work like if I opened iTunes on the iPod, it will still bring up a list of movies and music available for sale.
I do remember playing Gangster Rio /Vegas, Minecraft PE, Rc Plane, Nova, Angry Birds, Mega Jump, Ski Safari, Eden, Doodle jump, Fruit Ninja, Hill Climb Racing, Asphalt 6, Clash of Clans, Jetpack Joyride, Cut the Rope and of course Infinity Blade 1-3! etc. with my best friend back in 2010-2013... Sitting in front of our or his house during hot summer evenings while everything turned orange... Simple times Me with my iPhone 4 and him with his iPod Touch 4.Gen and later with his green/yellow iPod Touch 5.Gen, all with iOS 4-6... Good old times It was basically my childhood. Playing on our iPhone/iPod together, watching Nickelodeon, being Outside and having a blast of a time! Those are Memories that I will never let go. If I had a Time Machine, this would be my go for
Bro i used to have an iPhone 4 in 2014 when i was only 4, but i used my iPhone 4 more like an iPod Touch back in my little timmy days, heck, i mostly only played games like angry birds and Minecraft PE (the GOATed version of minecraft) in there more than just calling and texting. Simpler times man, 2014... cartoon network is at its peak, and my older brother introduced me to it, with shows like adventure time, gumball, and regular show, iOS 8, Angry Birds Season's "Ham Dunk" episode, and so many other good and simple things, let me go back to it bro.
Im still one of the people who keep their music library downloaded to the phone but that's just a preference for me since i grew up on the original iPod
This was my second apple device (the first being the 4th generation) my parents didn't want to buy me a iphone so this a cheap alternative but I still enjoyed it. I've had very fond memories from 2014 - 2017 until I got a Samsung Galaxy on 5 (2017 - 2018) to Motorola one (2018 - 2020) and now I have Motorola Edge (2020 - Present).
I remember drooling for this in 2015, I got my dad to get me an iPod Touch 5th gen for my birthday. Using Instagram and iFunny back then was so much fun. Every time I open up a new phone out of its box, I'm reminded of first opening that iPod.
The fact that it is "so slow" wouldn't bother me unless I am in a hurry. Which usually I am not. I use a 3GS which can play YT vids and some basic games like flappy bird but it can't use social media apps without Safari crashing. It runs music just fine. So it is usable but barely. Yet I still use it and show it to people and I still love the phone, and it's size.
What if they made a new iPod that was just like the new iPhones, with the notch and everything, but without any sim support. I wonder how that would sell
You can always use iPod classis, with SSD instead of HD and new battery that pretty simple to replace For me I still use some unbranded from China, when I do not want to waste by phone battery on music
I've used Spotify for the first time this past year (June 2020- present) I still have my over 7000 song iTunes library, which was mostly CD's I've ripped to my computer since 2006 (yes, I"m 30 and old). While I do enjoy the features of spotify, I've noticed some slight differences in audio volume/quality in downloaded spotify music, and ripped CD files. Spotify just isn't quite as good, and as someone who enjoys actually owning my music, having the "iPod" feature of my iPhone (the original reason I got one in the first place in 2009) it just makes more sense to use my existing iTunes library. I listen to such a small amount of "brand new" music, and when I do it's a specific band I've followed for years and I want to own a physical copy of their music. I'll likely switch back soon.
I'll always have my CDs. Even if Spotify goes out of business, or I don't like the quality of most downloads. Even if they get destroyed in a disaster, since they're ripped and put on my phone. They'll always be around, and they'll be better quality than streamed music, since they're in FLAC or on a CD. I don't like having to deal with all those problems.
I got a lot of nostalgia for the 5th gen as that was my first ios device and the closest thing I would have to a phone for years. Can't lie it did feel good to have the best newest tech of all the kids in school at the time.
I still keep mine for the simple reason that there are games still installed on it which are no longer listed in the App Store. Those games are valuable to me because most of them are from the era where mobile games are still not infested in microtransactions.
I have a 7 and a touch 7 and you really don’t notice the under locked processor. I do wish that the battery was bigger in possibly a bigger body. Maybe a hybrid between current and the se would’ve been lovely!
I am so sad now my iPod 5 broke a couple weeks ago and had it since release. I used it everyday for music and games. I might buy a new one. The iPod touch 5th gen is compatible with Apple Music
I still download my music to this day. I rather have my music on me at all time than data or cellar. plus u kown ur a die hard when u go out and spend $85 on a 120GB SD card for ur phone.
I owned the iPod from December 2012 until around 2015 when it was crippled by iOS 9 (not that it ran much better on the previous two releases), always wished I would've kept it on its original iOS 6, ran like a dream.
i still have my ipod touch 5, its blue on the back and has a white front on it with cameras both front and back with the ipod touch loop. it's old yet it still turns on, but very slow and apps dont work anymore/load properly so my ipod is kept as a memory from my childhood.
I have one in Space Gray on iOS 7.0.4 that I use for.. yeah sure some older mobile games that since been discontinued, but also with an app that can transmit to radio waves and allow you to listen to a station either locally or by a live online station URL. iOS 7 is a dream to use especially with its older music app, and it’s still somewhat modern to be used for its intended purpose of music on the go
we use this design of ipod at work as an barcode reader and for looking up inventory, still works great for this use case and the battery isnt to bad in my experience
The iPod was cool and one of my first portable gadgets, but as I grew up I never understood the logic of giving them to kids who are "too young" for a smartphone and I figure that probably partly plays into its discontinuation. I see really young kids nowadays with clearly their own phones, as the parents are also holding them. There's always parental controls if necessary and if you just want a media device for your kids to have to play with, a deactivated phone would work mostly the same, though buying an iPhone unlocked is quite expensive.
My sister also had a blue iPod like your friend and she used it until early 2017 when it stopped turning on(probably cuz of the battery) lol. Then she got an iPhone 7 which she’s cracked 3 months later…🤦♂️
You Know what makes a great ipod... the iPhone 8. Sure its going to tell you there is no simcard occasionally. But it has speed, battery life and storage.
I remember I got this ipod for my 7th birthday. Actually I was supposed to get the ipod 4 but my parents accidently bought the 5 lmao. I used it all the time until one day it got icloud locked and I stopped using it. After that I got an ipod 6 which i still have to this day
Apple is so stubborn. There’s no reason they couldn’t improve on the design. A 1TB iPod touch with a more iPod centric iOS, a wider and shorter body with no bezels, Bluetooth syncing with iPhone, flush camera, sleeker WiFi antenna, Touch ID on power button, LCD screen but much brighter.
I got mine for Christmas 2013 as an upgrade for the iPod Touch 4 because being the tech lover I am, I needed iOS 7. Mine is a 32 GB version in space gray. It ran fairly well when I got it obviously. However, I ended up getting an iPhone 5C just a few months later making the iPod sorta obsolete. However, I ended up finding an interesting use for my iPod. Given it had 32 GB as opposed to my 5C's 16 GB, it could hold a lot more video. As a result, the iPod became kinda my primary video recording device, especially for the TV recording I had gotten into. It worked quite well for that. I used it as my big video recording machine until mid 2015 when I got my TV tuner stick. Then it was more reserved for recording things like weather events from there on as the device was getting quite slow at that point after all. Once I got my 6S the following year in 64 GB, I rarely found myself needing the iPod for anything practical afterwards. I still like to get it out sometimes though just to remember that.
I still use one of these sometimes when I need to record audio in front of a camera I can just put this in my pocket and have the earpods wired in and have it record my voice, that's really all I use it for though.
I used from 2013 till 2018... iOS9 was very terrible... I needed to replace battery and Apple gave me a new device with iOS7. I loved it... Because audio output was dropped with iOS8.4 update. I'm still using and it's one of my crown pieces of my collection
I still have my iPod touch 5 it doesn’t work anymore but I’m hoping to get it fixed I remember buying in 2016 and used it during high school since then It was great memories for me.
I still have mine too but mine doesn't work anymore either (I unfortunately dropped it into the toilet and that fried it). Great memories for me too. I loved that device. It'd be nice to get it fixed just for the memories but I wouldn't use it on a daily basis even if I did get it fixed. Maybe one of these days, I'll get it fixed just for the memories (if it's fixable that is. It's been water damaged since 2016).
I just realized something: All versions of iOS that are divisible by 3 have devices that stopped on that version. iOS 3: iPhone 2G iOS 6: iPhone 3GS iOS 9: iPad Mini 1, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPod Touch 5, etc. iOS 12: iPad Air 1, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, etc. iOS 15: iPad Air 2, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, etc. iOS 18: ??? Interesting, isn’t it?
Apple should not let the iPod brand die. For kids and teens, a small handheld iOS device is much needed. iPads are too big to carry around everywhere. I think they might actually breath life into the iPod brand. Not every parent gives their kids an iPhone.
Hey Josh, could u make a video on a iPod Touch 1st gen? If you have the only currently. I have one and haven't seen a video on it for a long time!! Great Video!!
I had a 4th Gen I bought beginning of 2011 and used until last year, when I bought a used 5th Gen, and to be honest, my older one runs way better. iOS 9 killed the 5t Gen.
I always wanted one of these back in the day! I had an iPod Touch 4th Gen and the leap to the 5th Gen was just crazy. I never ended up getting one…but my grandfather does still have a 6th Gen. I now have a 7th Gen iPod Touch to use as my dedicated music player alongside my new iPhone SE 2nd Gen which is my primary driver 📱
The last device with 32bit apps? I still have one around that my child still remember some older game that did not survived the 64bit transition. But yes, very slow and painful to use
if you're thinking about getting the XR... don't. just don't. wait for the Apple September event on the 14th, wait for new devices and new prices for older devices to be announced, and then maybe we'll see whether or not the XR would actually be worth it.
The only use I can think of for these from now on is if you want a dedicated music player for your car. This is great for those of us that don't want all of the notifications, calls, texts from their phone to interrupt them while driving. Other than that, just use your phone!
I love watching these videos for the nostalgia factor, as most of these were devices I had when I was in high school! But holy jesus that filter sweep fx on the outro music is actual knives in my ear holes
I've used my 5th gen iPod Touch for a good 6 years. Yeah, the OS is a little slow, but it's not really that bad. The real major pain is starting up cold. 50 seconds! For a moment you start thinking the device has hung. Thankfully wake is 1~2 seconds. I was cheap and got a 16GB... and kind of regretted it. I do have a large music library and this iPod could hold only 20% of it. And less if I want room for podcasts. So, I trimmed down to a set of "top favorites" in music and just use it for podcast listening at night. The browser? SUCKS! iOS 9.3.5 doesn't have adequate app support for other browsers. You're stuck with an old version of Safari that is woefully incompatible with an enormous number of websites.

I'm still using my ipod 5th gen for music 🎶
I watched this video on an A5 device (iPad mini) and I can confirm that even something as simple as unpausing this video is painfully slow on iOS 9.
You love to see it
You Know what makes a great ipod... the iPhone 8. Sure its going to tell you there is no simcard occasionally. But it has speed, battery life and storage.
I wish that wwdc announced iPod touch is coming back and is still available for purchase right away
Review the iPad 4,iPad mini 3,mini 4 or mini 5 please or if it is possible,review all of them😁
I remember I got this ipod for my 7th birthday. Actually I was supposed to get the ipod 4 but my parents accidently bought the 5 lmao. I used it all the time until one day it got icloud locked and I stopped using it. After that I got an ipod 6 which i still have to this day
Apple is so stubborn. There’s no reason they couldn’t improve on the design. A 1TB iPod touch with a more iPod centric iOS, a wider and shorter body with no bezels, Bluetooth syncing with iPhone, flush camera, sleeker WiFi antenna, Touch ID on power button, LCD screen but much brighter.
I got mine for Christmas 2013 as an upgrade for the iPod Touch 4 because being the tech lover I am, I needed iOS 7. Mine is a 32 GB version in space gray. It ran fairly well when I got it obviously. However, I ended up getting an iPhone 5C just a few months later making the iPod sorta obsolete. However, I ended up finding an interesting use for my iPod. Given it had 32 GB as opposed to my 5C's 16 GB, it could hold a lot more video. As a result, the iPod became kinda my primary video recording device, especially for the TV recording I had gotten into. It worked quite well for that. I used it as my big video recording machine until mid 2015 when I got my TV tuner stick. Then it was more reserved for recording things like weather events from there on as the device was getting quite slow at that point after all. Once I got my 6S the following year in 64 GB, I rarely found myself needing the iPod for anything practical afterwards. I still like to get it out sometimes though just to remember that.
I still use one of these sometimes when I need to record audio in front of a camera I can just put this in my pocket and have the earpods wired in and have it record my voice, that's really all I use it for though.
I used from 2013 till 2018... iOS9 was very terrible... I needed to replace battery and Apple gave me a new device with iOS7. I loved it... Because audio output was dropped with iOS8.4 update.
I'm still using and it's one of my crown pieces of my collection
What IoS u using 9 or 7
@@johnboy588 i used from 6 til 9.3.5 but because of battery Apple gave me replacement unit which is iOS 7. I didn't upgrade to 9
@@kaangirginer3826 is 9.3.5 good till this day? Im getting an ipod 5 for relatively cheap
@@johnboy588 yes, it's very usable for today. I'm using it on my iPad 2. It aged well... I'm searching second one for cheap as well :D
My first iPod touch was the 4th I Remember going to Best Buy Getting the 8 GB one
I only use my A5 devices (iPod Touch 5, 3x iPhone 4s and an iPad 2) as homemade CCTV cameras (Alfred Camera) 😂
I still have my iPod touch 5 it doesn’t work anymore but I’m hoping to get it fixed I remember buying in 2016 and used it during high school since then It was great memories for me.
I still have mine too but mine doesn't work anymore either (I unfortunately dropped it into the toilet and that fried it). Great memories for me too. I loved that device. It'd be nice to get it fixed just for the memories but I wouldn't use it on a daily basis even if I did get it fixed. Maybe one of these days, I'll get it fixed just for the memories (if it's fixable that is. It's been water damaged since 2016).
I think the reason why they don't want to make a IPod 8, Is bc There is the Se. Since it does have a better camera and better design. (And the 13)
I just realized something:
All versions of iOS that are divisible by 3 have devices that stopped on that version.
iOS 3: iPhone 2G
iOS 6: iPhone 3GS
iOS 9: iPad Mini 1, iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPod Touch 5, etc.
iOS 12: iPad Air 1, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, etc.
iOS 15: iPad Air 2, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, etc.
iOS 18: ???
Interesting, isn’t it?
There is could chance it might be A12 devices
I am even now in 2022 still using an iPod touch 5 and I hate that it is stuck at iOS 9.3.5!!!!!! I just hate it
im using Ipod Classic 4gen meanwhile
@91Tech you have a mustang? Anybody notice the blue mustang in the intro?
Oh man these where killer back in the day. I remember playing GTA on this on the bus to school
I remember having an iPod Touch 5 but without the camera 😂
I lost my iPod touch 4th generation so idk if I should buy it to replace it
Apple should not let the iPod brand die. For kids and teens, a small handheld iOS device is much needed. iPads are too big to carry around everywhere. I think they might actually breath life into the iPod brand. Not every parent gives their kids an iPhone.
Exactly bro, speaking as a teen here, but unfortunately, apple has ended it sadly, but there are old phones like iPhone 5 or 5S though.
The iPod 5 was my daily driver for 4 years, I have many great memories with this device 🤩
Hey Josh, could u make a video on a iPod Touch 1st gen? If you have the only currently. I have one and haven't seen a video on it for a long time!! Great Video!!
i still use my i pod touch 5 which i brought in 2013 and it still works decent.
I also use it to accept facetime call cos i keep it on a stand right next to my computer when my phone now is further away.
U can downgrade it with OTA then use coolbooter with 8.4.1
I really wanted to have one when I was in high school
I had a 4th Gen I bought beginning of 2011 and used until last year, when I bought a used 5th Gen, and to be honest, my older one runs way better. iOS 9 killed the 5t Gen.
I still have my blue iPod touch
I always wanted one of these back in the day! I had an iPod Touch 4th Gen and the leap to the 5th Gen was just crazy. I never ended up getting one…but my grandfather does still have a 6th Gen. I now have a 7th Gen iPod Touch to use as my dedicated music player alongside my new iPhone SE 2nd Gen which is my primary driver 📱
Is the blue iPod touch 5th generation good cause I have it
I used my ipod 5th gen until 2019
I am still using mine for spotify 😆
Yes I was just thinking about it yesterday. But I'm glad you made a video on it.
The last device with 32bit apps? I still have one around that my child still remember some older game that did not survived the 64bit transition. But yes, very slow and painful to use
Still use one regularly for for music!!
For music you can now use a smartwatch paired to some wireless earbuds
I have 2 very good reason to by a iPod touch 5th generation in 2024, old games with no ads and nostalgia
Desomd
if you're thinking about getting the XR... don't. just don't. wait for the Apple September event on the 14th, wait for new devices and new prices for older devices to be announced, and then maybe we'll see whether or not the XR would actually be worth it.
I have an iPod 5, its a piece of sh*t
the first device i ever bought. i still miss that thing
I still stream my music on my I pod touch 5
The only use I can think of for these from now on is if you want a dedicated music player for your car. This is great for those of us that don't want all of the notifications, calls, texts from their phone to interrupt them while driving. Other than that, just use your phone!
I love watching these videos for the nostalgia factor, as most of these were devices I had when I was in high school! But holy jesus that filter sweep fx on the outro music is actual knives in my ear holes
I have the 7th gen iPod touch and use it daily
The quality of your videos is amazing!
This young man has always turned out quality presentations. And I mean young. He has a very bright future ahead of him.
I've used my 5th gen iPod Touch for a good 6 years. Yeah, the OS is a little slow, but it's not really that bad. The real major pain is starting up cold. 50 seconds! For a moment you start thinking the device has hung. Thankfully wake is 1~2 seconds. I was cheap and got a 16GB... and kind of regretted it. I do have a large music library and this iPod could hold only 20% of it. And less if I want room for podcasts. So, I trimmed down to a set of "top favorites" in music and just use it for podcast listening at night. The browser? SUCKS! iOS 9.3.5 doesn't have adequate app support for other browsers. You're stuck with an old version of Safari that is woefully incompatible with an enormous number of websites.
My iPod touch 6 doesn't last more than 30-45 minutes at this point
