Ipod Touch 2012 Reviews Roundup

The 2012 iPod Touch is the best iPod ever, that’s guaranteed. Many see it as the iPhone without the phone and rigthfully so. Much like the iPhone 5, the 5th generation iPod Touch has been redesigned – and boy what a redesign it got! The iPhone gets so much attention that many tend to overlook its smaller siblings. The iPod Touch is a mix between the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 at a lower price. It has the power of the iPhone 4S and the appealing looks of the iPhone 5, and it’s even lighter and thinner than the latest iPhone!

iPod Touch 5th generation Reviews Roundup

DAVID PIERCE, THE VERGE

“Thin” almost isn’t a strong enough word to describe the iPod touch. It really is only a quarter-inch thick, though, and it really does weigh only 3.1 ounces. The iPod touch’s display is the same one as the iPhone 5 and it looks fantastic. Movies and games are two of the most popular things to do on the iPod touch, I’m sure, so the screen is welcome. Apple’s made a bold pitch with the new iPod touch, suggesting in no uncertain terms that this device can replace your point-and-shoot camera. It’s true, to an extent: the iPod touch’s camera is surprisingly good I’ve been saying for years that the iPod touch is just the iPhone minus the phone parts. That’s never been more true. The music and movies setup is exactly the same as on the iPhone 5. It’s really easy to send audio to a Bluetooth speaker, or use AirPlay to mirror or just push playback to your TV

The new Touch is made to stand out in a store and look different from an iPhone, and that’s a good thing. The Touch is very, very thin: 0.24 inch compared with the iPhone 5’s 0.30 inch, and 3.1 ounces versus 3.95 for the iPhone 5 The iPod Touch is a gaming handheld. The App Store is its game library. Adding an improved 4-inch Retina Display that matches the iPhone 5’s is s a guarantee that newly released games should work interchangeably between the two devices. It’s a near-5 in terms of function, the fastest Touch that?s ever been made, and the first Touch you’d seriously use as a camera.

Frankly, it’s the most exciting MP3 player we’ve ever seen. One of the things we disliked most about the previous iPod touch was its slippery and fingerprint-prone ‘chrome’ back. That’s thankfully been replaced by anodised aluminium. Ergonomics aren’t just improved by the new finish either. Despite offering longer battery life than its predecessor, the 2012 iPod touch is both thinner at a ridiculously slim 6.1mm, and lighter at 88g. Wow, has the camera on this iPod been improved over the woeful effort on the previous one – 5MP, backside illuminated sensor with a speedy f/2.4 lens and LED flash for those evening pics.
