Using the last iPod touch in 2024...

Today we are going to take a look at the iPod touch 7th generation, also known as the last iPod Apple would ever release before discontinuing it for good in 2022. We will be taking a look at if this iPod is useful at all for anything in 2024.

    I still use my iPod 7th gen as a remote for Spotify or to stream apple music, It's an overall great little device in my opinion.

    9:40 major correction lol, the iPod touch (the later gens) are really really easy to fix. The battery replacement does not require microsoldering, just regular old soldering and doesn’t take a rocket scientist. It’s just two metal pads to desolder (quite large) and solder back on again. The worst part is the adhesive and the display connector, really.

    Unfortunately, the iPod Touch just doesn’t have a place in today’s world. A much better iPod Touch would be an iPhone 7 Plus with 256gb, tons of storage and big screen with good battery life if battery health is good. It would have been nice if Apple released an 5.5 in iPod Touch with the A15.

    No 3.5mm on the 7, the 6s would've been the device your are looking for. I don't think I would have liked a semi-dedicated music player to be that big, the 4 inch screen strains the eyes but feels simplistic. Oh, the ipod touch 7 came with 256gb as well.

    A big screen would defeat the purpose of a device like this, considering you'll most likely be bringing it alongside your main device and carrying two big phones can get tiring. Personally, there's no reason to get an iPhone 7 when the iPhone SE is both cheaper and still has all the pros of the iPod Touch 7 (without having the extra size of the iPhone 7, plus a headphone jack)

    I had an iPod touch 4G back in 2011 and let me tell you these things were all the rage in high school. Angry Birds, cut the rope, fruit ninja, Jetpack joyride and so on. Even more so since half the school had the Wi-Fi password for school and most of us had what was called at the time text free to message between each other. I think it was called Pinger later on but man those were the days. I bought the last seventh gen 256 GB iPod touch at my Apple Store back in May 2022. I got it in white. It’s still in its box and I’m not sure when I’m gonna open it. eBay prices are crazy for it right now if it’s brand new sealed.

    You can use pretty much any phone for many basic stuff. My concern is pretty much just the OS version. I'm screwed if an app isn't supported. I am on an iPhone 6s Plus with 64GB, still a very nice phone.

    I had a few ipod classics going back to like 2009 or so and the current one was pretty old and the battery was pretty well shot. I upgraded to the ipod touch in 2020 and got the 128gb that was $299 at the time. The 256gb was $399 which was a lot more space than my 160gb classic so I figured I would be okay with the 128gb. I'm wishing now that I would have spent the extra $100 to get the 256gb one now since my 128 has run out of space even after removing unnecessary stuff from it. I have a 256gb ipad that was given to me around the same time and its still got plenty of space with my music and manga libraries. Unfortunately ipod touch was already discontinued at that time but I guess there is the option of refurbished ipods. The ipad of closest size and storage starts at like $500 or so which is a bit much for me lately. I still use my ipod touch all the time at work. I mostly use my phone in the car lately but I will switch on the ipod touch sometimes too. especially for a long trip. Can't really say I ever used my ipod touch for much else other than playing my itunes music library. I think Apple really did pretty good with the ipod series in general.

    I’ve wanted one of these for a while because my old ipod touch 5 just isnt enough for me and i LOVE the design and size of the later ipod touches. Even a regular iphone 6s or + is just too big for what an ipod should be, it feels like it takes away from the point of it. Too bad ipod touch 7’s are SO expensive.

    The iPod wasn’t the first MP3 player, but it was the first that could store a thousand songs. Other players could only hold maybe a hundred or so.

    I still use an iPod touch 5th gen for music and it works great on iOS 9.3.5 although I wouldnt reccomend using it for anything else other than music now as trying to watch videos on it is well hard as it keeps loading a lot and cant really download apps without it being slow and if you can use Airpods on it if it can connect only problem with music is if music is taking a long time with saving music onto a playlist with apple music for me so have a playlist on another device with apple music with sync library if you have the same problem as me

    I had one, I bought it in February 2020, and used it every day from then to November 2021 when I got an iPhone 7. I didn’t really care much about the iPod, then I gave it away to somebody I went to school with. He broke it beyond repair pretty quickly.

    until the thouch they were just very strange devices that looked like unfinished concepts. the absolute most anappealing devices and extremely difficult to use. it makes no sense what so ever for it to become popular.
