- Hey guys, it's Justine and today
I've got something very exciting.
I know, I know, every time I start a video out
I say it's gonna be exciting, because usually it is,
I'm not gonna make a video about something not exciting.
Today we're checking out the brand new hot pink iPod touch!
The announcement of this of this kind of took everybody
by surprise, I feel like, like it was definitely
something that we weren't expecting.
It kind of came out of nowhere,
you guys started tweeting me nonstop because of this.
It comes in this beautiful hot pink color.
(happy music)
Another thing that's kind of crazy is a few days
before this was announced I tweeted
about wanting a pink iPhone.
And then a few days before that I had made a video talking
about how badly I wanted a pink iPhone
and then a concept creator made this for me.
This beautiful render of what an iPhone 11R
could potentially look like.
And then this is announced, which I was excited about
but also a little bit upset because if they made a pink iPod
that means they probably aren't gonna make a pink iPhone.
Or, it could mean they are gonna make a pink iPhone
because they already have the pink here.
The color is here, this is exactly
the color that I had wanted.
I tweeted because I was super excited
about the color and everyone kept saying
"Justine, there was already a pink iPod."
But I don't think that this is pink.
They may have called it pink but this is more
of like a salmon-ish type color.
So yes, well they have had a pink iPod previously
this is like a hot pink.
I also made this little chart here
so this was kind of a chart of showing all
of the pink iPods in iPod history.
And it was kinda crazy 'cause I didn't
actually realize that there were so many.
Anyway, let's open.
I've been talking too much.
Was that it?
Was that the only thing that I needed to take off?
I haven't had an iPod in so long.
(sing-songs) It's beautiful.
(gasps) Oh wow, it's so small.
Look how ti-- it is like a baby.
I mean this pink color is absolute,
this is exactly the color that I wanted.
It's almost like the Apple like went
into my brain and made this color from my mind.
This is exactly the color that I love.
Let's see what else is in here.
Paperwork, lovely.
Lightning cable, great.
And some ear pods.
Now for the moment I've been waiting for,
and you probably have been too.
How do you come out of there?
You are in there, aren't you?
(gasps) Look at this.
Okay we gotta peel the sticker off.
(upbeat music)
Oh my gosh.
(upbeat music)
It's so small compared to the iPhone XS Max,
plus I have this battery charger on it
so this is so massive.
Like, it's crazy.
Let's turn it on.
This is great, set up new iPod touch,
unlock to continue, all right.
So one of the things that a lot of people
were saying is "who's gonna buy an iPod touch?"
And to you I'm saying, well obviously maybe you aren't.
This definitely isn't something
that I would need because I have an iPhone.
But for children or people who may have an Android device
or a phone that is not an iPhone,
this is basically all you would need to listen to music.
It also has iMessage, this also has the A10 Fusion chip
so it is incredibly fast so you can
do augmented reality, you can play games.
So essentially this is a very tiny,
small, little phone without the data.
This comes in three different storage capacities,
there is the 32, the 120, and the 256
and there five different colors.
You have this beautiful pink but we also have space gray,
white, gold, blue, and the Prada red.
So if the pink isn't something that you're into,
you've got some other color options.
As far as price goes, these start at 199
which is kind of crazy because
that is one of the least expensive iOS devices.
Most people may not want
to buy the latest and greatest phone
but if you just want to listen to music,
watch content, have something to play games on,
then this is basically all you would need.
I actually think it's pretty smart
that they released these because the price point is so low.
That just means that more people
can have iOS devices in their hands.
Which means they will have more subscriptions
to Apple Music, to the Apple Arcade,
to the new Apple premium TV service,
Apple News, to everything Apple.
I also think this could potentially
be someone's first Apple device,
especially younger kids or people that have families.
You don't wanna be giving your kids your iPhone
so you would probably wanna give them something
that is a little bit less expensive.
But still be able to do pretty much everything.
You can still send messages, you can do FaceTime calls,
you can actually do group FaceTime calls on this as well.
I've only used the group FaceTime a few times
but I don't know if you guys remember,
Judner did this incredible video of a group FaceTime.
There was like, 28 of us on there, maybe even more.
- I think this the first time anybody actually tested this.
- [Justine] I'm surprised this is working as well as it is.
- It's been so smooth.
- [Woman] I like the little floating effect
of everybody's face when they come
to the forefront, it's very subtle.
- I saw a lot of people on Twitter asking
what this little black section was on the iPod touch.
I was actually wondering the same thing myself
so I Googled it and it turns out this is the Wi-Fi antenna.
I also saw some threads of people talking
about saying you can put a case on this,
you can cover the antenna
and it doesn't affect the signal strength.
So that's he new iPod touch, I would love
to know what you guys think of this.
Do you have an iPod?
Which iPods have you had in the past?
If you guys wanna check out that iPod history picture
that I talked about earlier, I'll have the link
to my tweet in the description so you can go check that out.
But I would love to know what you guys think of this,
do you think it's a good idea?
Do you think it's not a good idea?
Would you get one?
I think it's great, I mean it really
is an iPhone without the data plan.
Wi-Fi is everywhere, so really if you needed to,
you could get by by using just this and no phone.
Maybe I should do a video about that.
(gasps) '24 hour challenge using the iPod touch only
as my communication device.'
That's actually so easy, like that's not even a challenge.
I would have all of my email,
I could still make phone calls, I could text.
I don't think that's a fair challenge.
Okay this is a front facing test of the iPod touch.
- Look at that.
(helicopter whirs)
- Oh, oh, we have a helicopter incoming.
Where is it?
- [Dark-Haired Girl] Do you think there's crime happening?
- There might be some crime.
This is it, front facing test.
(giggles) I'm walking around, looks pretty good.
This is back facing camera.
- That's me!
- That is you, it's you.
It's me.
It's me, it's you.
I don't have anything else to say.
But I do have my AirPods in so does this make me cool?
- [Dark-Haired Girl] You left your case over here.
- Oh shoot, I need it.
- Here you go.
- [Justine] It's got my name on it.
- [Dark-Haired Girl] How cool,
I forgot to do that when I purchased mine.
- I will see you guys in my next video,
thank you so much for watching and I will see you at WWDC.
Again, if you're not subscribed, make sure you subscribe.
Hit the bell, also follow me on Twitter
and Instagram as iJustine.
Bye, oh I can't wait, WWDC is gonna be so fun.
Maybe I'll bring my pink iPod
and I will-- don't know what I'm gonna do with it.
I'll just hold it and carry it around like this.
This is gonna be me at WWDC.
Oh it's beautiful, I love it, I love it so much,
I love it, I love it, it's beautiful,
it's freaking beautiful.
(calm music)
