Description

The 2012 iPod touch is probably the biggest redefinition the series has seen since its launch. For the first time, the iPod touch arrives with a bigger, 4-inch display, a 5-megapixel iSight camera shooting 1080p video, and a selection of vibrant colors. The iPod touch has a brilliant new design putting it in a category where it’s thinner and lighter than the iPhone, and with a unique lace it almost looks like this device is now not just a music player, but also a camera replacement.

Cons

64GB basic storage (not expandable)

I want it 44 users

I have it 59 users

I had it 29 users

Works as it needs to

The iPod 5 has all of the features and support it needs. While it's home to a few glitches and lacks a back-facing camera, it works exactly how it should. It also is quite fast when loading internet applications and the like.

OK. Device, (When it came out)

I got it when it came out in gray, it lasted about 3 years befor completely ding after a hip hight drop. I had an OtterBox on it, and it landed on carpet, it just died right there. It is appearently a power issue with the battery, if you plug it in, it will still give you the red charging logo but wont do anything. pretty bad price to 400$ I paid for it, NOT WORTH IT!

I Have a Ipod touch 5g for a year now! I'm my question why would i buy that? first of all I thought that a5 chip would be very fast and not difference than A6! but i'm Wrong! it Very s**tty Performance! Youtube crashed every time because of lack of memory! 512mb ram DDR2! are you kidding me it 2015 man! and Still using a LPDDR2! it a worst mistake to get an iPod touch 5! i should get ipad 3 instead. A5x have a Gigabyte of ram! When i Look up Mortal Kombat X it said not support mine!
And Every they in High school most of my friend have an iphone 6 and i Jealous every days!
So i have to Jailbreak so i can disable launch demon and overclock and Not beable to use Facebook and Messenger app so i can save the battery life!so guy beaware for the performance! I Recommend Nvidia Shield Over Nexus 9 because Nexus 9 doesn't have an sd card and nvidia shield! thanks for reading!
