Yup, this is a controversial episode I know! I paid for this iPod my self too, I am genuinely excited to have a real 256GB iPod. Even if you don't think it's an ipod ha! The vid got way too long so heres some extra info: Apple says battery life for music is 40 hours, which puts it on par with the last of the classics. But I don't anywhere near that long but thats because I find myself doing more stuff on this. I love playing one finger puzzle games on this so there goes battery. Puzzle games and Frank Zappa on a handheld offline device is my kinda heaven. iOS also has the slow charge stuff where it guesses your charging habits to charge the device slower to protect the battery and make it last longer. Thats ballin. Also dark mode on my iPod! USB C is real cool but Lightning is not a bad 2nd place. Especially since Apple makes Lightning to USB C cables so if you have heaps of USB C chargers (or a macbook...) you don't need dongles. I wish Apple would just call it the "iPod". It makes no sense to call it the Touch anymore since this is the only iPod left. Wireless charging is a total must on a future one, but keep the small dingus screen and "welcome home" button. No really, I never want to type words with a clickwheel again. It's funny, then annoying, then frustrating all in the span of 5 minutes. The tiny 4" screen makes a nice 1 handed music dootler to me. It aint cheap, no way. But man it's so crazy thin and light. The glass and alloy is super nice, all my mates who held it went "why did you get an iPod tou.... oh wow thats so light". Folks say to just use Airplane mode on my phone, but then I can miss work offers or important updates so that doesn't work for me. Eggs.

That drummer couldn't be you. He's a whole person, but you're just a camera with hands.

"It is an iphone without a phone" Ah yes, the hottest apple product, the i

And Apple has now discontinued the iPod Touch, officially declaring the iPod as a whole dead. 21-year life span. Man, what a nugget.

Dank really cares for us. He legit sold his apple watch just because he wanted to inform us. Dank is the best and he deserves the best.

Need a girl in my life who loves me as much as this guy loves his 2007 ipods

You’ve made me spend over 100 bucks on broken iPods What is this dark art and how can I learn

May 10, 2022. RIP, the last iPod. May your spirit live on.

This episode is extra special right now, since they discontinued it. You literally gave me a lot to think about. No incoming messages or calls are actually amazing. Looking on a refurbished website right now.

02:37 “iPhone without the phone” Ol’ mate jimmy be like, “oh yeah mate! Cant wait to get my hands on the newest i this year!”

"I had them scratch the word 'dingus' in to it" i almost peed i was laughing so hard...

I had a 6th gen 160gb throughout highschool. I loved that thing about 15gb of music and nothing but movies to the max, got me through so many classes/off periods that it was worth its weight in gold. Nearly a decade later shes rocking 256 gb after switching to ssds. I take it with me anytime I'm somewhere i may be for awhile, airport, DMV, or camping. Thanks for giving me the drive to fix it up.

Dank always has a lot of genuine happiness in his videos but this one hit different. I think he got a bit emotional when he started to introduce the sponsor, seeing as freelance artists are going through a really rough time right now with the pandemic and all. Could be overthinking. Thanks for STILL making good content for us dank

DankPods: scratches the word dingus in the iPod The iPod's Value: Skyrockets

I got this the day it came out. The apple store employees had no clue a new ipod had come out let alone that they recieved stock for it and thought i was fucking around at first LMAO

Great vid! Saving some of my favorite lines here for future reference: 6:45 “I had the scratch the word ‘dingus’ in it.” 13:24 “I have Roller Coaster Tycoon… ONMYEYEPOD” 16:48 “I can’t play more than that, otherwise Disney will come and kill me.”

I still remember when the first iPod Touch was called The iTouch. Digging through my junk drawer, I found my "old" iPod Touch 5th gen and booted it up after.... 8 years of stasis. Little goober still holds a charge and had all my old games and videos. I found myself happily passing time with it, not realizing how much less stressed I was vs using my phone lol.

"Engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsoever."

I can't get over how good this content is. It comes out hot, it comes out fast, its like having a hyperactive best mate whose eager to tell you all the rad things he's done today.

R.I.P. iPod touch :(

The iphone was AT&T exclusive in the states for awhile so I think originally the ipod touch was a great way to have the iphone experience disconnected from a phone plan. It was also a way to give kids/young teens an iphone-like device without actually going all inbon the cellphone (now tablets/ipads are more a thing). It was quite awhile into the cellphone era that ‘getting first cellphone’ became a milestone event.

Makes me happy to learn that I'm not the only one who thinks that a device that no one can contact you or interrupt you while you use it is great

I was wondering why he called it the sexy speaker. Now I know, and he’s not wrong

the ipod touch is amazing for even more than you said here, "its the iphone without the phone" part was perfectly describing it, i think most people choose the classic over the touch for that reason however, the charm, nostalgia (and of course the PRICE) makes people want to go to the classic and save the games and streaming services for their phone instead.

Pour one out for the nugget with the touch screen, boys. Apple announced it's getting discontinued today, leaving a bittersweet taste in the mouths of many who were hoping for one more refresh!

That moment when you have to explain people that yes, not relying on the Internet 24/7 is good, bezels are good to hold stuff, small size is good to hold in hands, headphone jacks are useful, an actual physical buttons are useful too... (by the way this newer iPod sounds great because they actually added a good DAC inside it, the Wolfson Media chips that manufacturers use when they care about sound quality, also present on.... the PSP!) It's sort of weird and sad how the industry went and how the consumers just accept this... Damn, I feel old with this. But proud of being so. Cheers to being old!

my music teacher is blind(not like legaly "blind" she coudnt see since birth), she uses an ipod touch for the lessons thanks to the accesebilty options

iPod officially discontinued. Picked up the 7th generation iPod Touch today as soon as I heard the news

Well, as of Tuesday May 10th, 2022 Apple has officially discontinued the iPod Touch.

"I even sold my Apple Watch to get these, because I knew you wanted to know if it worked with the Pro's..." This Guy made sacrifices for us... Truly cares for his Channel!

You're seriously such a good salesman. I had no desire to get an iPod, and now, all of a sudden, I really want one. I don't even have a use for it

Sure it was a pain in the bum to edit but I really like this long form video. Would definitely like to see longer videos across all your channels. No matter what content you produce it's aways a joy to watch.

I come back to this video every now and then, but this video is an excellent example of: 'People don't know what they want'. Dank going over what everyone wanted in a 'classic' music player for the modern-day, the iPod Touch meets all those requirements, and there's still going to be people out their snubbing their noses at it, even though it's everything you asked for.

this is one of the only KZfaq channels I care about tbh

"I can hear all the android people chuckling behind their galaxy s3's" Thank you that made my day miles better

Rip iPod touch you will be missed

RIP to the iPod touch

Phrase: “Yeah, nah mate. Nah mate. Yeah, nah.” Translation: Yeah, I hear you. No. No thank you. Yeah, I said no.

Finally someone who understands and appreciates the need for this device.

A musician… an artist… telling us what is proper from his perspective on everything from musical storage devices to audiophile setups to headphones is definitely proper… m8 does us proud and I swear most people shove listening to his input on common ground things we all like including him

All fun comes with an ending, RIP iPod Touch

"You could trade a sandwich for a snapchat post" gosh i love your humor XD

This man is really trying his damndest to sell me this ipod

dingus

F for ipod touch stopping production

I don't even like Apple products, but this channel makes me want to own an iPod

Why is this like my favorite KZfaq channel now? Like the content is so perfect. How do u not have at least 1 mil yet?

Update 05/2022: R.I.P. iPod touch!! 😭 We’ll miss you!!

I adore this video, because it's a fantastic boiling down of just how friggen amazing handheld technology is today. All of these features, all of this storage, all of this convenience and SO much more, and it's a few ounces in weight and fits in your pocket. We have sci-fi touch screen super computers in our pockets and they've become so normal it's easy to take that for granted!

This man could sell ice to an Eskimo

As someone who HATES apple with a passion, I want this iPod. Now.

I'll have you know I just got the Samsung Z Flip 4 so I can do that dope flick open the cellphone trick. It took me a few tries to get the muscle memory working to do it. But it's dope having a bloody Flip phone in 2022.

So nostalgic remembering scrolling on my ipod damn man

I don't know why I keep coming back to this video.

Your iPod Touch (2019) isn't WORTH less, it's PRICEless. Know the difference.

I remember my first iPod touch I got back in 2011. It was the perfect device for middle schoolers who didn't have an iPhone/smartphone and had to carry around both an iPod Touch and a regular cell phone. Crazy how things have changed in the years for this to essentially be "classic" now, I wonder how long until these start being collectors items.

apple now discontinued this btw

It's scary how easily you can talk me into wanting to buy a $600 ipod. Also, congrats on the sponsor!

We finally got to see his face. It’s just as great as I imagined.

Still a great iPod... Rest In Peace, iPod Touch!

Man i love this he's great i love his energy and how makes even the most boring videos entertaining i'm literally binge watching his videos right now.

The Sexy Speaker kills me every time.

You just convinced me the iPod touch is the best dedicated music player in 2020.

i bought the 256gb version, rip ipod

One of the things on my dirty buds came off today, still works after washer cycles, speaker cap coming off so I could see inside, just the speaker wire holding it together, still sounds great lol

there’s an app in the app store called “Click Wheel Keyboard” that brings back the BEST function of the click wheel, typing. would recommend 10/10

The whole "offline device" point is something I love. I hate how everything needs to be connected to the internet these days. Even my Tesco clubcard needs the internet now. Like why!? I hate getting to the till and being like "hang on mate, let me just start flailing my phone around for a signal before I pay"

Going from 16 gigs to 256 gigs was one of the biggest mind blows I’ve *EVER* had. I was used to have to remove shit every time I installed an app. Now, I can just add, add, add and add.

I heard a story that when Steve Jobs was handed the original "Ipod" he threw it in his office fish tank and then pointed out to the designers all the air was escaping and that the design could be more compact. Honestly don't know if this is true or not.

"iPhone without the phone", that's exactly how I've said always about the iPod touch :)

I love how he made such an amazing case without mentioning Jailbreaks. Feckin great video.

6:39 I recently bought a mini and it actually says "Live Laugh Love" on the back lmao

"I can hear all the Android people chuckling behind their Galaxy S3s" Oh man... Just wait until the Note 4 guys show up...

Idk why but I really appreciate iPods now

I had bought a new 7th gen a little ways before I came across this channel (I think about 2 years ago, as the Apple Care is actually in its last few months), and it was nice watching this some time later. Having a dedicated device that remains with you and can out live your phones is a good feeling really... my phones come and go, but my iPod is still around. Good for all my music, some movies on the go, and all while allowing my phone to be reserved for things I need a phone for without consuming more power. That, and like he said, it's nice to not get interrupted while using it. I genuinely wished we got at least one more modern model during the last anniversary... one with the new hard edge design language that was brought back with the iPhone 12.

They just discontinued ipod

iPod then: I love this thing along with the clicker! iPod now: literally a frickin phone (edit: and plays FLACs)

2020: It has dingus engraved on it its not gonna be worth anything 2050: *2020 iPod 7G touch 256GB!!!! Just 20K$!*

This just made me remember how much I miss my og iPhone se because it was just a 5 with newer guts and I loved the iphone 5’s size and form factor and the fact I had a headphone jack I could just plug my ear-buds in and it works but I miss that now

Is no one gonna talk about how satisfying that “Bluetooth, On (;” was?

"It'll play Fortnite!" That aged well lol

I got my airpods pro engraved with “yes.”

and its discontinued

RIP iPod Touch...

This made me want to buy an iPod. I own the 11 Pro

My mom bought one of these for herself! I was SHOCKED at how thin it was. I thought it was a great little thing! Fit all her music on there flawlessly. I'm big into protection, so I bought her a clear-back case (she's rocking gold too and wanted to make sure she can still see it), a screen protector, and a cute little pouch. I'm big into this idea!

Goodbye iPod, it was good.

Man let’s all appreciate his effort to these videos

I've only ever owned a single ipod in my life and it was my mom's old ipod touch. I'm not a crazy ipod fan and I may never own another one for the rest of my life potentially, yet there's nothing I like to watch more on youtube than your vids. Your personality is electrifying, it's like I'm sitting down with a friend I haven't gotten to see for a year, I always feel refreshed. Thank you Mr. DankPods, (if that's even your real name).

When you showed the iPod touch's storage space I DIED

Thank you for being one of the factors for getting a Touch. It's on it's way now and I'm really excited to get it! Was only able to get a 128gb model, but that's more than my iPhone so it's fine. Hopefully Apple doesn't for some reason release a new one soon because I hear an Apple conference is happening soon.

We shall name it… the dank pods pro.

Starts mocking the iPhone 6 as a bendphone. I start laughing. Then I realise i’m watching this video, on an iPhone 6 Plus, with 16gb

This video singlehandedly convinced me to get the newest iPod touch. One of my favorite devices. I use it more than my phone.

15:22 I am in love with your music taste

After watching your videos, I resuscitated once again, what I called the FrankenPod. it's a mash up Of 2 broken 120gb classics with a 160gb hdd. I can only use the full 160gb if I install Rockbox on there because it has the 6th gen mobo instead of the 6.5 gen mobo. I also had headphone jack issues and I was too cheap to buy a new headphone port and realized it was contact issues so I had a strange 3.5mm to 3.5mm adapter that worked after I wrapped the end of it in tin foil that has now become a permanent protruding 3.5mm jack from the iPod. It runs my headphones better than anything I've used apart from my scarlet solo in a number of years. iPod Classics were G.O.A.T apart from super high end and need a 1tb+ re-release

DankPods: *Complaining about Ipods* Me: *Cries in "Kindle Fire"*

This dude should do game commentary, his comments are so hilarious on just happy wheels!

September 2021. I STILL KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS VIDEO. IS SO GUD

6:46 The "I had them engrave the word 'Dingus'" Just proves why my sense of humor is broken.
