Doesn’t ship a charger in iPhones to save environment, uses a whole ass plastic case for the packaging for iPods

Unsold old iPhones are turned into new ipods. Genius business strategy

Literal nostalgia, I remember when I was 10, my parents gave me an iPod touch for my birthday, and I non stopped used it, I loved it a lot

i have about 5 different iPods growing up and still have them, but stopped using them until i got a phone in high school, but everytime i charge them to look through pictures the nostalgia HITS

I had no idea they were still selling these...and suddenly I want one too. I definitely still love having a dedicated music device on top of having a smartphone. Not only for daily commutes, but I used to drive 7-8 hours (each way) once or twice a month from grad school to visit home between 2011-2018, and having a dedicated music player with a huge collection of tunes on it was a godsend

I think eventually we’ll see Apple release a “retro” click wheel iPod. Sort of like how Nintendo did the mini consoles :)

I spend my whole money on a used iPod touch 3rd gen as a kid, it was already 1,5 years old at the time. This was my first smart device with Wifi and access to the app store etc. I still think it's one of the most beautiful devices to ever have existed! I cared for this mirror back side like crazy and it still looks superb and neat today! (Which is nuts because this thing got scratches by just looking at it) Now it sort of feels like an ancient gaming console because it still runs an old iOS version and all of those great old games in their old versions and mostly without any ads! While youtube etc dont work anymore.

I too use mine daily, I listen to audio books, music, it’s updated with the latest IOS, an excellent companion for people with limited data plans. I beg to differ with those who say they are obsolete.

Really glad to see the sudden interest of dedicated music players.

Freaking nostalgia, I remember how exciting it was to unbox the latest iPod every year. And really cool that you still use one on the weekly!

I've tried so many ear pods from different companies and honestly, none of them have felt as right as the Apple ones. Those Apple ones always fit just right.

I used to have a dual Android and IOs setup as daily drivers. I used this iPod for IMessage and a lot of iOS stuff while using the Android as a hotspot when I had no wifi. Pretty cool. Splits the battery usage too

Got my six year-old one of these for Christmas last year. It’s still a great piece of tech and she can basically call or text her grandma and cousins, etc. without having to pay for cell service. More than worth the $200 price tag.

I remember when these first came out. I watched a million unboxing videos of it knowing I was getting one for Christmas. It was such a crazy new thing back in the day. I had the original and think it’s still hanging around in one of my drawers Edit: I still have and occasionally use my 80 GB 5th Gen iPod Classic. How the hard drive on that thing hasn’t crapped out yet is beyond me because let’s just say it had a rough life

I’ve been using one of these for about a year and a half as a phone basically(I use messenger to contact people). It’s surprisingly durable for how it looks from my experience.

I love the idea of an ipod touch. I used mine especially to listen to music. If you are out and about and like sitting outside of a concert venue queuing all day, you don't want to drain your phone battery. Having an iPod touch, you would be able to go through the day without draining the battery of my phone. ☺️ Even the thought on the daily, Being able to go through the day and listen to music and such, an iPod touch weighs a lot less than a battery bank and the thought that an iPod Touch would help prevent you running out of battery for an entire day.

It's so cool seeing that they still make these. I used a 1st gen IPod Touch all through elementary, middle, and high school (even when everyone else had phones by then), up until the battery finally died. It sucked to see it go, but I was very excited when I got my first phone, bc it was 64gb and I could actually put all my music on there, instead of the measly 8gb I had before. 😅 Now I have a 128gb phone. Technology moves fast!

Before my iPhone, I was obsessed with my iTouch. With music and downloading any cool game I could download. The good ol’ days of when mobile gaming was cool and interesting

I do have iPod in pink. Of course it is 7 generation. I do liked the color. I loved opening a package from Apple. Most recently that I ordered new iPods Air 2 since my first pair of them wasn’t working for awhile. Now they worked.

I had the last ipod touch to have the 15 pin connector. Even not using the official apps I can pull up and start my music, even while running another app. In several ways it's still better than my current stuff. Sure not as powerful, no longer supported by any apps that have had updates, but most of my apps that aren't just skinner boxes (and the blockheads, losing that on Android is rough) were made to be downloaded once and run perfectly forever.

Good to see the ipod get some love. I used an ipod as a phone as a teen and I still love using them in my car with my music library. I'd love to see an updated version for enthusiasts.

I agree MJR, that red is so striking. Do more of these new “older” tech. Really interesting “gems” that many don’t think about. 👍🏻

1:39 bro got skull emoji engraved into it 💀

Got my dad one for Christmas he loved it it fairly easy for him to use!

I've been using mp3 players basically since they came out decades ago. I'm surprised you didn't notice when buying yours but they do have a 256GB model available. The main reasoning for me choosing the I-pod touch was the combination of available capacity and an external speaker in an mp3 player type of product. I can carry the majority of my audiobook collection with me separate from my phone and not worry about battery life for either device. I'd love to buy another generation if they'd increase capacity to 1TB.

the ipod touch with the reflective back was my childhood!

I bought the iPod Shuffle back in 2005. It was an amazing technological evolution for me as it was the first time I could listen to music on the go that way!

My first apple device was an ipod touch 2g from my cousin, first game a purchased was fragger.. life moves fast

I'm a huge music fan; and finally jumped from the Ipod classic; to this 7th Gen - 256 GB in blue. There's some pro's/con's in comparison of the classic vs. 7th Gen; but like MJR says; you get ton's of other new features. It's nice to keep all of my music in one place; without paying a subscription service.

I got that one a few years ago for Christmas. I've always liked to have a dedicated music device instead of using my phone.

I still have my ipod touch 5 gen (with the loop) to this day. I got this ipod from my parents 10 years ago and it was nostalgic.

Bought the iPod 7 gen 3 years ago and still works and for the first time I have an iPad, the 10 gen and loving it being my first iPad.

I think the iPod and the base iPad have various industries that use them regularly, and they have a reason to be consistent products. I work with kids, and iPods are still great for certain activities, not even mentioning iPads, which every kid has and uses significantly. Having a cheap product, with long term security support that IT doesn't have to worry much about, a simple home button and headphone jack even the youngest of kids can understand, and a smooth no hassle interface makes a lot of sense to use with kids. Some parents find the iPod to be a great gateway phone for kids. They get the technical experience to operate phones, they're cheap, they're the perfect size for tiny hands. I imagine lots of kids who get this will probably stick with iPhones as they get older, just out of familiarity. Similarly with iPads, especially now that they're getting more computer like and can be used for mostly everything you need. I imagine Apple will be keeping these around for a while longer. I think too many people and industries would complain if they suddenly couldn't rely on Apple for these cheap products.

I still have one with the click wheel. Bought it at Walmart maybe 6 years ago and still works. Audio was great on those old iPods dedicated to music only.

I understand your logic. I have a 128gb phone in my car that I use for streaming my downloaded music from Spotify and for navigation. It works great!

I still have this iPod, I got it as a birthday present, and it’s in all black, front and back. Amazing piece of technology. Now I only use it for music and games

Still have my 4th gen ipod from way back in 2004, still works despite the numerous drops over the years & i still use it, it's sturdy & reliable. I also had a green touch ipod first gen but it wasn't constructed as good as the first & went to the great tech heaven in the cloud.

I love iPods. I still have a blue iPod touch 5th generation that I bought years ago. Works great. Very useful if you have almost thousand of songs. ☺️

I remember begging my parents for an iPod because “everyone at school had a phone so I should too.”

Omg, bro, I love these iPods haha! 💪🏻 Got one with the space silver back cover 🤤 ✨ This is a great review man, dropped a like! 👍🏻

I'd love to see the last one be like the classic, in regards to space. I really wish mine didn't go too the wasteside. I use one everyday in my vehicle as well. I personally like to keep my music and cellphone separate. I'm sure they'll be a day I can't as technology keeps moving forward. 👊

My car has a USB port, so I keep a 128gb stick plugged into that for music on the road, but I also modded my old 30gb 5th gen iPod with a big SD card for kicks. Still works great. The main reason I hardly ever use it is my profound hatred of iTunes.

I still have the 1st gen iPod touch it is so weird how time flies so fast

I have the iPod 5 which has an audio jack. The rear is identical to the iPod 5 except for the fact that engraving couldn't be done when it was on sale back then. There also was a special loop on the rear for attaching a wrist rap. Although I don't own the last generation of iPod Touch, from this viewpoint it seems so identical. I see minor differences when I just look at it at first, but now when I see this review of the new iPod the software and other minor and major details of the device are so different and similar to a phone.

Definitely had no idea they were still making iPods! Gotta agree with you, the product red looks fantastic and it's for a good cause. I also didn't know you could play mobile games on them. Might have to get one, especially if it is indeed the last model they end up making. Thanks for the vid!

Loved the video. MJ has a love for tech similar to mine, its a mix of wonder, nostalgia and child happiness

I remember my iPod touch, and my IPod nano, that was the elite era and I miss those old times

I had no idea they were still making iPods. I still have my Nano and I remember it being the best thing ever.

I was surprised to see they released it around 2019 and I decided to get one recently to serve my ios needs since I use Android

It's cool that you're keeping dedicated music players alive, MJR! I was a fan of the iPod Touch in high school. Used it as a music and internet browser before I owned a smartphone. These days, I just stream all my music off my phone from Spotify out of convenience, but keep around an old Samsung Galaxy S10 loaded with an SD card full of my personal MP3 collection for situations like airplane flights like you described.

Still have my 6th gen and use it now and again. Handy at work when I can’t connect my phone to the van (yes some vans don’t like modern technology).

With the amount of memory Music takes up, this is still great!

I found a 30 or 80gb gen 2 classic and used it in my car daily, if you go into areas without service often you can utilize the rear USB port on many aftermarket headunits and just tape it under the dash as a fallback instead of carrying CDs.

My first and only Apple device was the 4th gen Ipod Touch and I loved it to bits, great for kids to use! It was such a great device back then when phones were still clunky and had limited functions but now its hard to justify an ipod. The only reason to get one tbh is for the built in high quality headphone jack and the wired ear buds but then I get angry because they dont include that in their phones.. dongles dont provide the quality of a built in jack from their previous devices and its even worse on android phones so it irks me to see that they can do it but they willingly neglect things.. good to see the ipod but it feels like its forced exclusivity to earn more by this point.

Came here after hearing the announcement that apple has discontinued the iPod, rip good friend you served a lot of us well and will be missed.

the nostalgia of that box omg

I'm so happy to see this kind of video! iPod rocks!! 🤘

I'm shocked they still are making IPods, might have to get one myself for nostalgia. Good video like always!

I Literally just ordered one something about the Simplicity of it plus it reminds me of the earlier 2000s fashion may not have been the best but this right here was one of the biggest things

6:08 bro I saw that "FAVORITE" and had to go back just to make sure I saw correctly cuz that only meant NCT for me 🤣🤣💯

Ordered the same one last week, with custom engraving. I love that it's 256GB these days and has a HEADPHONE JACK! :) Enjoy, man! \m/

I absolutely didn’t know they were still making iPod Touches. Good memories on my first one.

Omg I still have mines 😊 this brings back so many memories

That silver iPod was the one that EVERYONE was rocking with when I was in elementary school, my mom wouldn't let me get one though 🥲

As an Android person I find these useful just in case there's like an app only on iphone or something

I’m still rocking my product red gen 5! Only basic apps work so I just use it for podcasts 💪

I have an iPod touch. Originally I used it because all my music was on iTunes and I didn’t know how to work it on an android phone, but now I’ve gotten used to having it even after getting spotify.

Damn I remember being so excited when I got the first gen iPod nano when it first came out...I was the coolest kid in school. Can't believe it's almost been 20 years.

I have a Ipod touch, I left in in my grandmas couch cushion when she sold the couch. The people who she sold the couch to called her and brought it to us about five years later we got it back and powered it on It said it was disabled for 67 years/ 26 million minutes 😥😪

That is cool they still are making it. Personally I have always wanted the ipod nano (6th gen) it has always looked awesome to me. I have 2 that I bought at a garage sale/pawn shop but being an Android user I don't know what steps I need to take. I want to use these for music only but it's preloaded with music from the previous owners (I don't want) these are the only apple products I own.

The iPod 1st generation was my first “phone”, it brings me good memories

I still use my classic iPod from like 15 years ago. Still works perfect, no issues. I never use the touch, the classic is so much better. I can control it by pushing the buttons through my shorts. Don't even need to take it out of the pocket

I like those boxes. Apple used them for the iPhone 5c and I always loved the aesthetic of it (it's like...a glass coffin). I use AirPods Pros myself.

Still use my ipod nano gen 1. Hope to never see apple abandon the ipod. Hope to see a new ipod nano someday.

I still own and use occasionally my early days ipod (pre touch screen), loaded with hi-res music ripped from audiophile CD's. Still run smooth and sound very good. Its original headset is the best apple ever produced imho.

MJR! You like the Sounds! I love that band. Soooo underrated.

I see you are jamming out to Jerry Cantrell's new album! I love it

I remember when I got an iPod, I got it when I was nine because some of my friends had phones but my parents didn’t want to give me one yet so they bought me an iPod. It was hot pink and I loved playing subway servers on it 😊

I still have mines! Super convenient for the gym

Ahhh memories of 2004, sharing an earphone with a friend in class, listening to Dream Theater and Metallica on the ol' click wheel iPod. Nowadays I wouldn't touch an iPod though, instead I'm rocking an iBasso DX300 - more expensive, but well worth it for audiophiles

I been using an iPod touch heavy since finding it in a lost n found at work one time in 2016. Bought a charger and started selling on ebay with it and made like 18k in 2yrs and listen to the music in it all day everyday. The battery is impressive still too...only a DSlite battery outlasts it

God I miss these boxes lol. Was magical getting the XS

The fact that this had a Flash and a decent camera was really cool.

I purchased a blue one begining of 2021. I love it. It does so much. Keeps me in the Apple ecosystem. I do prefer Android phones. I have a MacBook Pro and FCP. Air Drop to the IPOD to social media is so efficient. Still prefer Androids phones and I never owned an Iphone. My music library is over 90 gb. Thanks for the video. The unit is adorable.

I still use my iPod touch for music. I wish they would come out with a new version with a current generation processor in it and I would get another one just for games.

I put SD memory in my Ipod video for the car. It used the best DAC (a Wolfson) of any Ipod. It's got 128Gb and a clear case now and new battery. The Ipod videos have a big refurb scene so finding cheap good parts is easy. I use an Ipod touch with bluetooth headset when I am in the bath.

I’m still using my iPod touch since 2013 (I forgot which gen is it hah). Used to still buy music from iTunes but I’m currently using Spotify. I still prefer to have a separate music player instead of using my phone together. So I hope Apple will keep on releasing iPod touch! Or perhaps they’ll still continue making em

I'm in the group that is surprised Apple is still making these, especially when smart phones are mini computers that are capable of doing so many things.

This is funny since I was just looking at them last week and have been contemplating buying one for about a month! I wish they would just update it and make a big deal about it. They would still sell well enough... probably better than the Home Pod.

I had an iPod 4th gen for a few years in middle school, then ipad minis until my first smartphone in hs

THE BEAT DROP DROPPED HARDER THAN MY GRADES 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊‼‼‼

The iPod touch has ALWAYS just been an iphone without the phone. I remember when I bought the very first iPod touch, I also bought a case that had a battery and a sim card in it to effectively turn your touch into an iphone.

I'm really considering getting one, so I can go to the gym without my phone, not worry about running out of storage on my phone as well(since I like to download the entire catalog of the bands I listen too) and etc etc. Your video came in handy! Can you talk a bit about the battery life? I don't really plan to do anything with it besides listening to music, btw. Thanks in advance!

Watching this to try and figure out the difference between this & iPhone. Thx

Red is my favorite color so I think that it's really cool that you bought the red one! Yup, they won't be making anymore of those.

He’s actually very right with the parents choosing an iPod for their kids cuz my very first smartphone was actually a 4th generation iPod touch when I was around 4 or 5 years old :D i had soo many weird games on it and it was the very first device that taught me about an app called ‘UKposts’. I binged watched every single mickey mouse episodes I could find on the platform (even the 20th century mickey mouse episodes) Can anyone relate?

I would love to see an updated version of the classic. Click wheel, amoled screen, music streaming service capabilities and at least 128GB of storage

I had the 6th gen it lasted for 5 years i loved it

Ingenious move from Apple props to them man!

Back in 08 when I first saw the ipod touch I was amazed like how u would see a xbox series x or ps5. I was so jealous of people who had it and didn't get one till I got a summer job and spent a weeks pay on a second gen ipod touch. Good times 😁👍
