welcome everyone I'm Ricky fan TechTalk and today we'll be taking a look at a
new Apple product so we haven't had too many Apple products on the channel and I
am a fan of Apple but I like to vary everything that we see here on a channel
so today we're going to be taking a look at the brand new iPod touch and this is
their seventh generation so I can't believe they've actually been seven
generations of this device I've gone back and had a look through the nearest
one I've got is actually the sixth generation one here I'll be doing a bit
of a comparison a little bit later on so the last iPod Touch actually came out in
2015 so four years ago so let's see what's new with the iPod Touch seventh
generation 2019 so on the front here we've just got our display here showing
you at all the apps there and she's in iOS 12 but obviously you will get the
push to iOS 13 and I think that's why they release this model because they
needed a more powerful model to actually run iOS 13 cuz like I said the iPod
Touch 6th generation is actually running iOS 11 I've just bumped it up to iOS 12
and that one won't be able to run iOS 13 but this model will do its raffle saying
this is fun at full speed and they've updated the processes inside which we'll
talk about like I said on the front here you get to
see a home screen on the side you've just got a pod touch and you can see
I've got the gold color here they do have six different options in color
being Space Gray blue pink red silver and gold I chose to go for the gold
design as I like their new latest gold color that they are using so on the top
you do have your Apple logo and you do have a bright green sort of indicator
here how to just release a bit of tape that's holding it securely so once
that's come off it will fold over so tucked underneath that is another bit of
tape then that pulls off this picture here and reveals your iPod so slightly
pull this further back and that will release the iPod so designed by Apple in
California that's underneath so take off the top tray so underneath that you're
gonna find all of your extras so first of all you're gonna get some iPod touch
guides yes let's have a look at these so in your packaging you've got your iPod
touch fingertip guide here just showing you uses the Lightning connection your
dedicated home button your volume controls and
also your power button and on the back you just have a bit more information
it comes in another language which is a little bit odd to see and we don't get
that you've got ipod touch user guides and then again in a different language
yeah and then finally we've got some Apple stickers and realize it's still
added the Apple stickers into an iPod so underneath here we have our USB a 2
Lightning connection to sync and charge our iPod through our MacBook or PC so I
actually chose the base model for this one was 32 gigabytes the previous
generation was 16 gigabyte so you have a lot more storage here to add music apps
games TV shows movies books whatever you want on to this so using that cable you
can sync over from your iTunes on PC or Mac or you can download from the App
Store or iTunes Store you also get Apple headphones and these ones actually come
with the 3.5 connection here that's because these models of iPod touch
actually still have the headphone jack down here at the bottom it's a 3.5 milk
a phone jack which is really good to see so what we're going to do is power on
our iPod here and we're going to go through the setup stage so taking a look
at our iPod here it is a quite small screen compared to what we're used to
it is a 4-inch Retina display which is really helpful so at the top there is a
little power button here which we're going to power on turn around to the
back you can see this gold color I do like this effect from Apple it's a
little bit a less sort of in-your-face compared to the other Gold options that
they have you do have a single camera on the back there with a flash you have the
Apple logo and iPod and also you do have a little bit here for the Wi-Fi signal
to come through coming around we should be all booted up now which we are we can
go through the setup stage so we're going to fly through this a little bit
quickly so one thing to point out here that I always find frustrating is the
Apple doesn't add any accessibility options right at the beginning this is
really frustrating I don't understand why they're the only major company
that's out there at the moment that doesn't provide that and that's really
disappointing to see so we're going to choose English here select your country
or region and at the top here it's given as United Kingdom yep that's correct so
you can use the QuickStart here which we're actually going to use and I'm
going to bring in my iPad and it's going to do a quick start and send
all of my information over or you can choose to actually set up manually so
then you're gonna get this little bubble here that you'll need to use the camera
to search with the finds so with my iPad here we're just going to find that
bubble it's a bit like the Apple watch there but it's gonna send all of my
information over it asked me for a passcode from my iPad just so transfer
of the information can happen and make sure it was done correctly so this will
transfer over information it will need me to fill out a couple of extra bits
but it saves going through manually and importing everything manually so danger
policy yet that's all okay so what's new with this iPod Touch so this has the a10
fusion chip which was first used in the iPhone 7 and 7 plus so a few generations
back but it does have an improvement on the original a8 chip that was in the
previous generation of the iPod Touch 6th generation the a10 fusion chip that
brings up to twice the performance and three times better graphics to the new
iPod Touch while still delivering great battery life it powers augment reality
games and and it makes everything you do feel faster and more fluid so now it's
saying about our apps and data we can restore from an iCloud backup restore
from an iTunes backup set up as a new iPod Touch or live data from Android we
can set up as a new iPod touch it's still gonna bring over the information I
need though so like I said this is gonna be up to two times faster performance
compared to the previous model agree to location we're gonna use Siri as well
welcome to your iPod so there we go we're all set up and we're ready to go
now and one thing I like is they match the background to the actual iPod color
which is really nice thing to have here so we've got white and gold and then
you've got the nice gold on the back here as well which really nice it ties
in really well so like I said up to two times faster performance up to three
times faster graphics impaired to the previous generation so let's just bring
in that previous generation here on the left is the brand new iPod touch and on
the right is my older generation which is six generation as you can see there's
actually not much differences at all come around to the back there's a little
bit of difference here in the color options that we've had
and also that flash looks alike now it looks exactly the same here so putting
them color by color and side by side looks a little bit thinner maybe we'll
have to have a look we'll delve in a little bit more by fusing lightning
connections on the bottom and both have that headphone jack as well which is
really handy to see it's nicer it's keeping that headphone jack for you
don't have to have a dongle all the time buy an adapter the choice is yours but
we'll delve into that one a little bit later so it has the ability to play a
our games which is really good so a our augmented reality games is where you can
sort of see furniture in a certain location with stuff you can see stuff on
your desk a are games where it sort of brings into your world and you can enjoy
in your world when they see in your background but there's something over
the top of it which is really fun so it has a 4-inch Retina display so it's
quite small compared to what we're used to now with other Apple products as you
can see here we're running iOS 12 and it's been updated and we can update it
to the latest firmware as well for slide up here a little bit more different sort
of gesture control system because obviously when you pull down you get
this you can't pull down from this sides these Hankow so you have to swipe up
that will tap that home button and you'll see your open applications so we
haven't got any anymore that's disappeared nicely its installed with
all the Apple applications so with 32 gigabytes you might need to install some
of these applications here as they will take up storage so let's jump into
settings let's jump into general jump into a bounce so with the capacity of 32
gigabytes the actual available storage to use is 21 point four nine so it's
quite a lot less and that's because some of these applications are taking up a
lot of stories and the OS takes up a lot of storage so please bear that in mind
when you're making your decision so with this iPod Touch 7th generation you can
go all the way up to 256 gigabytes so it does give you room to maneuver in space
if you so want to this is the only iPod touch now that will be updated to iOS 13
and all its great features which I will bring shortly on the channel got a new
thing to show you very soon so I'm really pleased Apple has updated this so
a lot of people still use the iPod Touch so a couple of the key specs for you
comes in 3220 or 256 gigabytes storage option there's
no external SD card you can use cloud-based storage if you want to like
an iCloud Google Drive or Dropbox or whatever you want to use which is really
good it weighs 88 grams so it's quite sort of
lightweight here it's good to use on the go I think if you need to like I said
it's a 4 inch Retina display with a multi-touch IPS technology built into it
it has a resolution of 11 36 by 640 and a pixel density of 326 as an 800 to 1
contrast ratio and a 500 CBM to max brightness here so let's just bring see
I'm so used to my iphone here turn that all the way up it's quite bright still
so used to actually using my iPhone and my gesture control on my iPhone so it
offers a finger resistant coating as well on the display which helps from
smudges and marks but if I already close it and have a look and that's quite good
actually it's quite well so press here and then we're gonna get our co2 unlock
which is cool so talking about the rear camera single rear camera 8 megapixels
in size and at 2.45 element lens autofocus and loads more features which
we'll delve into and have a look at as well and we'll see how well it perform
video recording is available at 1080p at 30 frames per second and three times
then coming around to the front you do have a FaceTime camera built in net so
that rather large sort of forehead a top of chin which seems really big now
compared to when we look at other devices but the FaceTime HD camera
offers 1.2 megapixel photos really not that good which is f 2.2 and 720p HD
video recording not impressed you have a backside illumination sensor which is
the whole screen will flash for you to get brightness so it offers Bluetooth
4.1 and will work with air pods it's a series on this device and it's very
handy so let's check out Siri to press and hold what's the weather today it's a
quick responsive and very fluid and that's thanks to the new processor in
there it's not new but it's new compared to the previous model so it has a
headphone jack which i think is really good a lightning connection we should
have some of them cables still lying around for our iPhones
even though the my pad has moved to USBC we're still
frustrated and tied down with a lightning cable music playback time is
up to 40 hours and video playback time is up to 8 hours and we'll test that out
and see how well that does so bringing in the old iPod here on the left-hand
side this had the a8 chip with a 64-bit architecture the display was a 4-inch
Retina display the resolution is the same pixel density is the same
CVM and the contrast ratio is the same so it stays exactly the same as the
new-generation obviously a new chip is helpful as well
so that means we're going to get more power more performance you're gonna get
iOS 13 the FaceTime camera on the old generation sixth generation was 1.2
megapixel photos 720p HD video recording and then on the back they called it an
iSight camera which is 8 megapixels and looking through the specs was exactly
the same video recording 1080p so it just seems the processor inside has had
that boost here which is a good thing that adds to our performance with iOS 13
and also gives us AR games and then also apple arcade is usable on this device
and all the features come in in iOS 13 which will show you very soon if you
have any questions or any queries please let me know so here in the UK the
starting cost for the iPod Touch 32 gigabyte model in all variant of colors
six of them like I said is 199 pounds so it's quite expensive as you are getting
an a-10 chip which first come out into 2017 or with the iPhone 7 and 7 plus
it's OK for an iPod is going to be ok you can be noticing a lot more speed
power performance throughout iOS 12 and into iOS 13 thanks always for watching
from me Ricky and the brand new iPod Touch 2019 7th generation I will see you
in my next video bye for now
