what is up guys welcome back to the channel today you can see here i have an ipod touch in front of
me and this is actually the last ipod that is ever going to be made the ipod touch 7th generation i
just recently bought it after it was found out to be discontinued and today i'm going to be
doing an unboxing for you guys so guys one thing you'll notice about this box is that it looks
much more old school than you're used to with an apple product it has plastic all the way
around very much older style last we saw it on a different device i believe was the iphone 5c
so it's definitely a very different kind of design and it's basically the same design as
the ipod touch 5th generation which came out in 2012. so they didn't really change much about this
box and they didn't really need to because it's a good box but the more i think about it i can see
this as a reason that they actually discontinued this ipod i'm sure apple was still making a profit
on these ipods when they discontinued them i'm sure they were making a good enough amount to not
discontinue it for that reason specifically but i'm starting to think that they didn't want to put
money into doing a new box for this they didn't want to change the box style because that would
cost a lot of money to mass produce something that you already have a ton of and this box i mean you
can tell it's it's plastic all around it's not it's not environmentally friendly that's not what
they want to go towards apple doesn't even have plastic on the newest iphone you don't even have
the seal that everyone was used to with the older devices so definitely see that as a main reason
why they would have gone to discontinue this and you can see this label is new too it has the newer
apple music icon the pink background still and it has on the calendar the 14th which i wonder what
day that is to be honest maybe sometime in 2019 when it was redesigned and then plus i was 15 on
it and i also got a screen protector for this ipod and a case to go with it so i'm definitely going
to be taking care of this one it is sad to see these ipods get discontinued and just be gone for
probably the rest of my lifetime but maybe by some miracle apple brings back those old ipod classics
and just build the apple music app and whatnot into it just so you can listen to music without
having all your ios distractions and stuff down it happens for sure but it'd be a nice product and
you know this will work for that and i'm going to use this for that so guys enough from the rambling
from me we're gonna go ahead and unbox this thing so you can see you have your ipod touch branding
on the side apple logos all around it ipod touch you can see what it includes with it model
information on the bottom and the app label on the front up top here we have a little pull tab to
go ahead and unleash this thing from its seal so we're going to go ahead and remove the seal here
seal removed now i can already feel it once to open up now
now we can go ahead and open it from its in capsule
and there is the ipod so i'm going to go ahead and set this aside for a moment and you can see
the typical designed by apple in california branding we can go ahead and go through here
and here you can see there's a manual of all your ipod touch information set that aside and in here
you can see it includes a lightning to usb cable and apple earpods and i don't think they come
with a remote control however i think this is the only way that you can get them is with an ipod so
that's pretty cool to have set that aside for now here we have our ipod documents i'm going to slide
this off you can see it comes with your little pamphlet warranty information apple stickers
and now for the ipod itself i'm going to put a screen protector on this as soon as
i remove this so i have the ipod and i'm going to go ahead and peel the label off
it's about as clean as it's ever going to be so i just put on the screen protector and it'll now
get to stay scratch free and protected and guys do you already know that i couldn't buy an ipod
without getting an engraving here it is pretty legendary message and yeah this thing is light
and small probably going to be the longest device supported with the headphone jack and guys i have
my case ready i'll go ahead and put it in there there we go nice and protected right off the bat
so guys we're going to power it on for the first time straight from the factory we're
both seeing this for the first time on a new ipod i haven't unboxed an ipod
since this one in like 10 years i think it was 2011 so now let's go ahead and turn this thing on
and that booted up really quick and you can see it boots straight into ios
i wonder what version of ios this is on 15 point something probably and you can see it has a very
good battery charge left in it which means this is a fairly new one because they don't last extremely
long on the battery there's the pink hello screen looks fantastic now i'll set this up momentarily
but for right now let's talk about the community that would be buying this ipod obviously it's not
anywhere near as big of a community that would buy it as was the last let's say 10 years but there's
still a decent amount of people who buy it for you know parents who don't want their children
to have a phone jobs where you want to listen to podcasts or music but you're not allowed to have
a cellular phone these can really help with that and it's not a big market but it's definitely
something that was there and this ipod wasn't dead just yet there was still a market for it i really
do think the only reason they discontinued it at this point they had to have been making a decent
amount on it i believe it was due to the packaging they just didn't want to put the money into
changing the packaging i mean this thing is a terrible deal when you look at it you can buy
an iphone 6s and a 7 with used with more storage available to it for way less than an ipod that's
less powerful than a regular iphone 7. so yeah it's definitely not a good buy but i
still bought this thing anyway because i wanted to make a video on it and i just wanted to keep this
thing it's the last one so guys i'm going through the process of setting this thing up and you can
definitely see it's on ios 15 with the background that it has yes verified i agree to your deadly
terms that i've never read since 2013 or whatever i may not know my own max password but i know my
ipad's password so guys you can see i just set up this new ipod on its new version of ios and we'll
see what version it's running on so you guys can see it's running ios 15.4.1 that's pretty cool i'm
definitely going to use this thing and take care of it very well probably mostly for music delete
everything off the iphone just kind of clear it up make it its own dedicated device so guys if
