Using the iPod touch 4 in 2020 - Review
Ғылым және технология
As hard as it is to believe, it's been nearly 10 years since the iPod touch 4th gen originally hit store shelves. In that time, the iPod line has changed surprisingly little- but how does the iPod 4 hold up in 2020?

Who here had an iPod touch 4 at some point? When did you get it and what did you use it for? Hope y'all have a great weekend!

I grew up with this thing and even if it’s not that practical, i still keep it plugged in and mess around with it sometimes. I’m so nostalgic for the iPod touch 4G and pretty much everything older. Everyone had these in 2010-2012 along with a DS or a DSi (3DS if you were a cool kid) 🥺 I think the iPod touch 4G, DSi, and the 3DS were most early gen z’s first camera. I remember I would stand in from of my TV in 2011 with my 3DS and record episodes of Spongebob, Phineas and Ferb, and Adventure Time. Lmao the things you remember about tour childhood 😂

We used to love watching Spongebob and Adventure Time together, and we watched Phineas and Ferb with our cousin. I don’t remember if my cousin gave me a 3rd gen iPod or a 4, but I didn’t know there was an App Store, so the only games I would play were Paper Toss and Ski Ball that he had downloaded😂man I miss those days🥺🥺

I got mine in early 2011 running iOS 4.2.1 when I was 13, so nostalgic... The iPod Touch 4 was the poor-students-iPhone-4 at the time and very advanced, considering many people didn't have touch screens at all. I wish Apple would have kept the shiny look of iOS 4,5,6
That iPod was my life line way back when. I used that thing literally to death( got the screen replaced after cracking it, then cracked it again years later, battery doesn't hold a charge, and the back camera lens is scratched to hell) but It was my introduction to Apple and touch screen smart devices and I still have it sitting in my drawer. Might try to fix it down the road one day.

I remember that my very first Apple touch screen smart device that I had and still have is the 2nd generation ipod touch that I remember buying new in early 2009. Still works great for listening to music, but can't really handle internet anymore. You can still find these for cheap on ebay and in good condition. They still great if you just want to listen to downloaded music and videos.

Considering how 32 bit has been obliterated from existence, my jailbroken iPod Touch 4/3's are my most portable handheld gaming systems & for that it is FLAWLESS. Infinity Blade 1-3, Dead Space, Battlefield BC2, Driver, Mirrors Edge, CoD Zombies, Ridge Racer & an INFINITE amount more! The absolute best, most "console AAA" games came out in this era, before Micro Transaction pay to win hell we're in now. Infinity Blade 1 in particular SMOKES every 3DS game in terms of visuals & even puts up a fight against most UE3 games on the Vita. Truly incredible devices that with gaming in mind are some of the best mobile experiences possible. Being able to play all of the unsupported or unlisted ios games I have acquired from 2010 to today is surreal especially after having 99.9999% become "lost" to the ether. Great video!
Still running one of these daily. Feels more iconic than what we get nowadays.

Something about purchasing the exact thing you wanted in your childhood but couldn’t get it until many years later is satisfying 😄 as for the iPod itself, because I only got into iOS much later in life I wasn’t able to download anything other than doodle jump and facebook. I think while I got this I might as well start a collection soon. ✨

This was my first Apple device, near the peak of iOS's Golden Age. The advertising was on point, and this was the first iPod for many of my friends. I remember those middle school days where all the kids were playing Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies multiplayer over Bluetooth during lunch break. Those were the days...
I’m still using mine to this day. My grandma got it for me when I was 12 years old. It was like the greatest thing ever for me. But none the less it’s home is in my car lol

First apple device I’ve ever had. I was around 9. It was so amazing, one of the best feelings I’ve ever had.
I have 4 of these right now in my collection!
Bought one myself brand new (A black 32GB model) on eBay for $80 back in September of 2019. Been using it as a music player, and honestly it’s only purpose is to bring me nostalgia from the early 2010’s.
My first ever Apple product was an iPod Touch 4th Generation 8GB Black that shipped on iOS 4.3.5 but I kept updating it until its last update on iOS 6.1.6. I got it for my 10th birthday in August 2011 and regrettably threw it away in 2016. So many memories
I loved this thing to death, so much nostalgia
Yes I do have one as it was my first ever daily driver back in 2013. Also my brother had one so I am very fond of them
Thank you for making these videos. Unfortunately I only use mine for KZread, and it is quite unstable nowadays on their latest iOS.
My first Apple product. Got me hooked. Still working fine 11 years later

This was my first apple device, I remember having this and downloading some minecraft in it
This was my first tech device and loved it
How did you manage to get apps on this? Mine won't let me connect to the App Store at all.
A family member had an iPod touch 4 years and years ago- and it stuck in my memory ever since. I now have my own one, which I use for music, jailbreaking and iMessage. I got it because I wanted an iOS 6 device
After watching this I pulled out my old IPod Touch 4. To my amazement it can still run the web version of KZread. It was also fun listening to all of my old music. I have starting ripping all of my old CDs and am going to use it as a music player, giving the battery in my SE2 a bit of a break.
The games we had back then the way apple felt in 2010 was special
This iPod Touch was basically my first iOS device and I did post a lot of photos on Instagram using the camera. Sad to see that this was the last iPod touch that basically a Wi-FI version of the latest iPhone. Since then the iPod touch was basically neglected. I still wish there is an iPod touch that has the latest chip and a decent camera. I know the market for the new iPod touch is getting slimmer but one can only hope.

My dad had a second gen iPod touch and i watched “TNT” by Captain Sparkles for the first time on it, discovering Minecraft. My sister and I got 4th gens for Christmas in 2011 and watching this video brought back so many memories.
THIS WAS MY FIRST APPLE DEVICE BACK IN 2012. AT THE TIME I LOVED THE RETINA SCREEN. I MISS PLAYING GAMES LIKE FLAPPY BIRD, TEMPLE RUN AND FRUIT NINJA ON IT
I just happened across one of these in a box. Charged it up. Seems to work fine...how do I turn it off?
Still works great as an iPod using Neutron music player. Excellent sound. Even with a rubber case it fits easily into a pocket and also works great with Bluetooth headphones. The build quality is first rate, especially when compared to the iPod 5. Mine has iOS 6.1.6 and I will down rev it to an earlier iOS 6 as it noticeably slowed down after 6.1.6 was installed. Great little music player.
How do I install the last version of Spotify supported by this iPod??
I wanted one back in 2010 when I was 12, but my parents wanted me to have a phone since my teenaged years were just around the corner. So I made a proposition, "how about a get an iPhone 4?" It worked! So that Christmas I got an iPhone 4. Those were the days.
please reply, I really need your answer. i wanna buy one this week for the sake of the feel which is why im here watching this video. would like to ask if spotify still works decently.
I had mine like many years ago and I still use it but only as a music player/ calendar/ alarm. It works perfectly for these purposes and I like the ios 6 nostalgia😂
I first got it when I was in 6th grade and in today's generation, it is still working!! OMG those were the times!!
I have 3 of them now! When I was younger I only had one, I played Minecraft lite on it and took many pictures of my dogs.
Also, would you be able to do a video on the iPod 7 and ask the question? Is it worth buying in 2020? 😉
I want to know that iphone xr portrait photos are better then iphone 8 plus’s portrait photos ???
This was my daily driver back in 2012-2014 ish until I finally got an iPhone 4 and 6. Loved using this back then wish mine still worked but it wont charge anymore.
This was my first introduction to apple back in 2010 and damn did it work of me getting into their ecosystem. And at that time the cameras for me were great, shooting and editing videos on such device were mind blowing for me at the time. Playing games of that time also. But it soon became very slow...
i want one. i absolutely love old technology. i wanna see if i can set its date back and download older versions of apps.
This is what I’m getting my little sister for Christmas 🎄
Before I bought my Apple watch, I would use mine for running and listening to my jams and would leave my phone at the house. I loved mine to bits which is why I was so happy I could keep using it as a combo to my Android phone. Wrote a lot of poems and have my whole life pre 2012 in it. My music library is valuable to me so I am looking to get it back from Mexico one day since eI had left it for my mother to use. She now has an iPhone 11 and does not need it. I do not know why I shared my life in this comment lol.
I will use one that I had for over eight years tomorrow morning at my church for a few worship songs. The music sounds great and actually the colors from the cameras are pretty accurate. Overall, it was a great unit that serve well for the time I had it. I know however it won’t last much longer. I have a seventh generation ready to replace it.
I got one of these for Christmas of 2010. It was my 1st personal touch screen IOS device. My mom had an iPhone 3GS. I would watch KZread videos on it so much and listen to music. I plugged it into the computer and accidentally restored at and lost all my data. I wish I still had the pictures that were on it.
I know this comment won't be seen by you, but I just wanted to say that I LOVE the thumbnails of your videos. The flowers look so pretty. Thank you!
This was my childhood device. Wish I could see that beautiful cracked screen where the backlight was exposed again. Probably have a bunch of old photos I wanna see
Nostalgia for listening to KZread on this while I was working
Hi, how is it possable that my just ordered iPod touch is very slow Internet on iOS 6.1?I can't see some games . Most I downgrade to iOS 5 ? Thanks!
Can it be used as backup camera does it connect to a Bluetooth camera?
That was my first ever Apple product. Loved it back in 2010. Then I upgraded it to an iPad Air 2 in 2014 and finally I replaced my Air 2 for an iPhone SE 2022 few weeks ago. I'm using the SE like an iPod touch to be honest, I'm using an Android phone as my main phone. Each time, it was a generational leap in term of performance. I'm really happy about my slow schedule for upgrading my Apple devices.
I have an iPod 4 and an iPod 5. I use my iPod 4 for music and podcasts for my commute to work. And it has never given me problems. Never been an app guy, so I'm content with the iPod 4. iPod 5 for podcasting was more trouble than it is worth, but it is great for audiobooks.
i got one when i first started college and was my first apple device, oh the nostalgia is killing me :,
