Anyone here ever use the iPod touch 5 back in the day? Friend of mine used it as his main driver until 2018- poor soul, not sure how he did it honestly. Join the discord! --- discord.io/91tech

I’ve always enjoyed the slim look of this gen of iPod touch.

It’s an interesting hybrid between the iPhone 4S, with the A5 chipset, and the iPhone 5, with the larger display. It would be a fun A5 device to try and use as a daily driver and just see how far it can go alongside jailbreaking.

This was my very first Apple product and I used it from 2012 up until the end of 2016 when I got an iPhone 6S for Christmas and that BLEW ME AWAY with how much faster it was in comparison. I'm still very nostalgic for this iPod though and whip it out from time to time for the memories

I remember getting this for Christmas when i was 9. Damn those days were so chill. Wish I could relive my childhood once again

I miss the days when the iPod touch was an alternative option to have just about everything the iPhone can do without contract

I love how this channel is basically just a feel good nostalgia channel for people who were there during the smartphone launches.

I have one of the 16gb models with no back camera, and I must say it’s one of the strangest but coolest apple product variants that’s ever existed

This was my first ever apple device. I had it alongside my trusty 3ds when I was 10. I have fond memories of that era. Time flies Edit: I remember getting the 16gb version and was so surprised when I saw that it doesn't have a rear facing camera

I do remember playing Gangster Rio /Vegas, Minecraft PE, Rc Plane, Nova, Angry Birds, Mega Jump, Ski Safari, Eden, Doodle jump, Fruit Ninja, Hill Climb Racing, Asphalt 6, Clash of Clans, Jetpack Joyride, Cut the Rope and of course Infinity Blade 1-3! etc. with my best friend back in 2010-2013... Sitting in front of our or his house during hot summer evenings while everything turned orange... Simple times Me with my iPhone 4 and him with his iPod Touch 4.Gen and later with his green/yellow iPod Touch 5.Gen, all with iOS 4-6... Good old times It was basically my childhood. Playing on our iPhone/iPod together, watching Nickelodeon, being Outside and having a blast of a time! Those are Memories that I will never let go. If I had a Time Machine, this would be my go for

I remember drooling for this in 2015, I got my dad to get me an iPod Touch 5th gen for my birthday. Using Instagram and iFunny back then was so much fun. Every time I open up a new phone out of its box, I'm reminded of first opening that iPod.

I got a lot of nostalgia for the 5th gen as that was my first ios device and the closest thing I would have to a phone for years. Can't lie it did feel good to have the best newest tech of all the kids in school at the time.

I still download music,it's more convenient than streaming to me since I don't always have service out here in BFE Missouri 😂😭

I used this as a secondary device with an iPhone 4S in early high school, specifically the one without the camera. It served me well o7

Ah yes iPod touch, a great little sidekick in your pocket for taking pictures and writing notes.

I love watching these videos for the nostalgia factor, as most of these were devices I had when I was in high school! But holy jesus that filter sweep fx on the outro music is actual knives in my ear holes

This was my second apple device (the first being the 4th generation) my parents didn't want to buy me a iphone so this a cheap alternative but I still enjoyed it. I've had very fond memories from 2014 - 2017 until I got a Samsung Galaxy on 5 (2017 - 2018) to Motorola one (2018 - 2020) and now I have Motorola Edge (2020 - Present).

I really loved the design of this ipod, I wish they made phones or other devices with that aesthetic

I actually still have an iPod touch 5 today. I got it back in 2014 despite me wanting to get an iPhone 5s at the time.

Yes I was just thinking about it yesterday. But I'm glad you made a video on it.

The iPod 5 was my daily driver for 4 years, I have many great memories with this device 🤩

Im still one of the people who keep their music library downloaded to the phone but that's just a preference for me since i grew up on the original iPod

That thunbmail is amazing! Keep up good work Josh!

The quality of your videos is amazing!

I love your videos. You're growing so steadily. It is awesome.

we use this design of ipod at work as an barcode reader and for looking up inventory, still works great for this use case and the battery isnt to bad in my experience

I owned the iPod from December 2012 until around 2015 when it was crippled by iOS 9 (not that it ran much better on the previous two releases), always wished I would've kept it on its original iOS 6, ran like a dream.

I got myself an iPod touch 5 and I really enjoyed jailbreaking it.

Surprisingly, the iPod touch 5 is still useable in 2021, Sure it may be laggy and slow, but it is still usable

I still keep mine for the simple reason that there are games still installed on it which are no longer listed in the App Store. Those games are valuable to me because most of them are from the era where mobile games are still not infested in microtransactions.

I got an iPod touch 4 on Christmas 2012, The same year the iPod touch fifth-generation came out. I got the older model as my parents couldn’t afford the new model. I used it up until 2015 when I got my iPad mini one. The iPod touch was the first device that got me into technology.

My cousin has still got an iPod Touch 5th gen on iOS 7. That thing is _smooth_ .

Even today when I was out mowing the yard, I still used my iPod touch 2nd generation from 2008. How do you think it would hold up 13 years later? Well, it still plays offline music just fine and I can actually use it with any new bluetooth headphones since the 2nd gen iPod touch does have bluetooth, something that I didn't notice when I first bought it in early 2009.

I have one in Space Gray on iOS 7.0.4 that I use for.. yeah sure some older mobile games that since been discontinued, but also with an app that can transmit to radio waves and allow you to listen to a station either locally or by a live online station URL. iOS 7 is a dream to use especially with its older music app, and it’s still somewhat modern to be used for its intended purpose of music on the go

i recently brought and used ipod touch 4 and i love it with ios 6, i have more then 1500 songs and it serves me well

I always wanted one of these back in the day! I had an iPod Touch 4th Gen and the leap to the 5th Gen was just crazy. I never ended up getting one…but my grandfather does still have a 6th Gen. I now have a 7th Gen iPod Touch to use as my dedicated music player alongside my new iPhone SE 2nd Gen which is my primary driver 📱

really enjoy watching your videos and the explanations are really at the point.... ❤️❤️❤️

This was my first iOS device, my mom gifted it to me in may 2013 because I wanted an iPhone 4S, but in those times they were very expensive in my country and the only accesible iOS device was the 5th gen iPod Touch. I sold it to buy an DSLR one year later for about $100 of that time. Yesterday I bought a white iPhone 11 base model, in that color because it reminds me my old iPod, of which I have pretty good memories. It had something “magical” inside of it, since I could play a lot of games and battery life was reasonable to such an slim device (I don’t remember much well but it had a 6mm thickness). Thanks for the video dude!, it brought me back many memories of my highschool times!

I use to use an iPod touch 5g when I was in high school time flies and this video felt nostalgic I still have it hiding somewhere

I remember using this iPod in 2016 When it was on iOS 9.0 it was fast for its time

I remember when my parents gave me an iPod Touch 4th gen. I was so stoked and loved the camera and bragged about the A4 chip with retina display. Good times.

The product red one was my first ipod...it had cost $400..i still have it. It brings a lot of nostalgic moments so i consider it my favorite device even though the battery is still always horrible

The old iOS versions like 9 or 10 were so nostalgic. Old app icons amazing wallpapers and different control center

i like how the pop up button on the back of the ipod looks like the knobs on ios 6

The fact that it is "so slow" wouldn't bother me unless I am in a hurry. Which usually I am not. I use a 3GS which can play YT vids and some basic games like flappy bird but it can't use social media apps without Safari crashing. It runs music just fine. So it is usable but barely. Yet I still use it and show it to people and I still love the phone, and it's size.

I have one of these I got off of ebay...baby works like a goddamn dream still. Shes still kicking.

Honestly there are times when I look back at ios9 on my ipod touch 5 and think to myself just how modern the operating system was. I understand it was released in 2012 but it just still seems very modern.

I got mine for Christmas 2013 as an upgrade for the iPod Touch 4 because being the tech lover I am, I needed iOS 7. Mine is a 32 GB version in space gray. It ran fairly well when I got it obviously. However, I ended up getting an iPhone 5C just a few months later making the iPod sorta obsolete. However, I ended up finding an interesting use for my iPod. Given it had 32 GB as opposed to my 5C's 16 GB, it could hold a lot more video. As a result, the iPod became kinda my primary video recording device, especially for the TV recording I had gotten into. It worked quite well for that. I used it as my big video recording machine until mid 2015 when I got my TV tuner stick. Then it was more reserved for recording things like weather events from there on as the device was getting quite slow at that point after all. Once I got my 6S the following year in 64 GB, I rarely found myself needing the iPod for anything practical afterwards. I still like to get it out sometimes though just to remember that.

I've used Spotify for the first time this past year (June 2020- present) I still have my over 7000 song iTunes library, which was mostly CD's I've ripped to my computer since 2006 (yes, I"m 30 and old). While I do enjoy the features of spotify, I've noticed some slight differences in audio volume/quality in downloaded spotify music, and ripped CD files. Spotify just isn't quite as good, and as someone who enjoys actually owning my music, having the "iPod" feature of my iPhone (the original reason I got one in the first place in 2009) it just makes more sense to use my existing iTunes library. I listen to such a small amount of "brand new" music, and when I do it's a specific band I've followed for years and I want to own a physical copy of their music. I'll likely switch back soon.

I'm a Samsung guy. Z flip3 as my phone, tab s7 for notes. But, for my project car, no bluetooth. So I use a modded ipod classic 6th gen with a 256gb micro SD adapter instead of HDD, brand new battery, shell and click wheel. Love that thing. I keep a backlog of all my favorite albums saved locally on my computer at home, and sync it with my ipod for drives. Should look into modding ipod classics man, it is so much fun and you get so much more use and life out of them. It's nice to keep around for when I don't have a Bluetooth connection available and only aux.

I ordered one of these out of curiosity and because I’ve been wanting to get one for a long time

the first device i ever bought. i still miss that thing

I remember taking about 2 months just to choose which ipod I wanted, there was so many options to choose from

I have one, bought new, and still use it every day for an old game & charge it every other day. No, I have never replaced the battery. It also gets used as a music remote (Spotify & Sonos) for guests - works really well & not slow. Have also used it for young kids (pre phone age) who have a lot of fun playing simple games & taking photos etc. Here in NZ my iPhone 12 mini (daily phone) is $1500 so while lots of kids do have one, $1.5k is about 50% more than the average weekly income, so lots can no way afford one. The iPod also works really well for car trips where there is no service (quite common in NZ) to play downloaded Spotify music. Since it's plugged in battery life is no worry. I have never used Apple music but yes, that is slow on the old iPod!

i still have my ipod touch 5, its blue on the back and has a white front on it with cameras both front and back with the ipod touch loop. it's old yet it still turns on, but very slow and apps dont work anymore/load properly so my ipod is kept as a memory from my childhood.

Still got my iPod classic 80gb and it's doing great.

Watching this video on an ipod touch 5th gen. Been using this since 2013 ❤️

Something from Apple: "exists" 91Tech: "Using the .... in 2021- Review"

I had my iPod 5 jail broken with the best tweaks when in HS. Unfortunately an arsehole student and a toilet made quick death of that.

I had one of these but lost it some time back. Idk how I lost it though. I missed it so much I decided to buy the 6 (granted, used) and I love it lmao

I still have my iPod touch 5 it doesn’t work anymore but I’m hoping to get it fixed I remember buying in 2016 and used it during high school since then It was great memories for me.

I picked up a 5th gen iPod touch at a recycling facility where I work part time. Nothing is wrong with it so I took it home , reformatted it to my iTunes and loaded it up with some of my music! It works perfectly and paired it up with my Jbl Go 2 speaker and makes a pretty good home sound system! Hopefully it lasts for some time in the near future 😎

Had one, sold mine and got a iPod touch 6th gen. Which does pretty well

I still use one of these sometimes when I need to record audio in front of a camera I can just put this in my pocket and have the earpods wired in and have it record my voice, that's really all I use it for though.

I appreciate this so much! I need a media device to use with Spotify for downloads and I almost bought one of these but I was skeptical, think I might still get one and go back to downloaded music (all totally legally acquired, I assure you)

Still use mine with ios6, and yes with downloaded music 😁 can't believe it's already 10years, still looks like modern device

It is 2024. Typing this remark on my iPhone SE 2016. Funny thing over the years I had lost it until I started thinking about what happened to that iPhone I used to have. It had slid of the bed under the headboard to the floor. I hadn’t vaccumed much then one day there it lay. It’s fun to use as a knock around. And it still uses my SIM card I use in my Razr.

That Pop-up thinge is cool :)

I had 2 iPod touch 6th gen between 2016 and 2017 and this year I got the iPod touch 7th gen I’m really enjoying it I’ve cds on my iPod touch and I’ve ever got Spotify on there

I use this device along my iPhone XS as my music player ( no ads for downloaded music :) ) and my iPad 4th gen from 2012. Love the nostalgic slide to unlock and the click button. I got it as a replacement for my iPod 2G with 8GB because I lost the 30 pin connector cable. It is still good for music and even runs games like Happy wheels or even Minecraft 1.16 without a hitch.

I am so sad now my iPod 5 broke a couple weeks ago and had it since release. I used it everyday for music and games. I might buy a new one. The iPod touch 5th gen is compatible with Apple Music

The 7th gen Touch could’ve been the 5S/SE (1st gen) body for a higher battery capacity and potentially a non-underclocked processor.

I got one today and im loving it after only 2 hours🙂

i still have it today 10 yrs later. it still has my curated library and flappy bird lol. i use it as music alternative to save battery on my iphone.

Oh man these where killer back in the day. I remember playing GTA on this on the bus to school

The design was so ahead of its time, you know that because they still make iPods with the same exact design

i still have my blue one!! it doesnt last longer than 10 minutes, and i regret updating from ios 6 but it is a staple of my childhood and it will always hold a special place in my heart for music, ive moved onto a zune lol

I loved this iPod when it came out with iOS 6

I LOVED THIS IPOD!

You love to see it

I remember I got this ipod for my 7th birthday. Actually I was supposed to get the ipod 4 but my parents accidently bought the 5 lmao. I used it all the time until one day it got icloud locked and I stopped using it. After that I got an ipod 6 which i still have to this day

I really wanted to have one when I was in high school

My first iPod touch was the 4th I Remember going to Best Buy Getting the 8 GB one

This was my first apple product and it was beautiful.

I only bought a 6th gen iPod a few days ago because it was still on iOS 9.3

running an ipod classic for my music, downloaded and ripped music from CDs means I can still listen without internet

I was given by my mother-in-law a iPod Touch 5th gen with a broken screen and a dead battery a couple years ago, said to myself that I would probably send it to someone for repair, until I stumbled upon Elite Obsolete which sold replacement batteries and screens. After buying some tools, looking at guides and tutorials on how to replace these parts, I managed to do the repair myself and brought it back to life! Nothing out of this world, but I can see why some people would be discouraged to do this kind of repair as the battery is soldered to the motherboard. I'm going to gift it to my dad for Father's Day as he just wants a music player.

What if they made a new iPod that was just like the new iPhones, with the notch and everything, but without any sim support. I wonder how that would sell

i had a blue ipod 5th gen was a awesome colour

The only use I can think of for these from now on is if you want a dedicated music player for your car. This is great for those of us that don't want all of the notifications, calls, texts from their phone to interrupt them while driving. Other than that, just use your phone!

Discord gang where yall at?

I wish that wwdc announced iPod touch is coming back and is still available for purchase right away

My Ipod touch 5's battery was getting so bad, it couldn't even last 1 hour! btw nice video:)

I still have this iPod ♥️

I do have the blue iPod, it’s currently in my drawer because the battery went bad and can’t barely hold a charge. Also the home button is broke as it does not click anymore when I press which is my fault because like to fidget with it. The blue iPod is such a good color and I would buy it again with updated specs and a bigger battery!

I recently got one for 15 US dollars, i love it it was my 1st iOS device, but is kind of slow but for music is awesome.

The original 16GB model of the iPod Touch 5 was sold in one color combination, without a back camera or the Loop.

I remember being so against streaming music because I wanted to own it (even if it was in a digital sense). However being able to access any song I want is so nice. 😁

I still use my ipod touch 5 as a remote control and live view screen for my doorbell cam/ baby monitor (Chinese Go Pro)/ canon vixia camcorder, I also recently used it to recieve Apple ID verification codes/ OBD reader (Automotive Diagnostic tool) and a few other purposes too, at 59 I am as slower than it is.

My younger brother had to use an iPod till just this June when I have him my old iPhone 7
