Apple iPod touch 5th generation Specs
Description
The 2012 iPod touch is probably the biggest redefinition the series has seen since its launch. For the first time, the iPod touch arrives with a bigger, 4-inch display, a 5-megapixel iSight camera shooting 1080p video, and a selection of vibrant colors. The iPod touch has a brilliant new design putting it in a category where it’s thinner and lighter than the iPhone, and with a unique lace it almost looks like this device is now not just a music player, but also a camera replacement.

The iPod 5 has all of the features and support it needs. While it's home to a few glitches and lacks a back-facing camera, it works exactly how it should. It also is quite fast when loading internet applications and the like.
- Great internet speeds and usage
- Handles it's features well
- iOS 9 support
- Quite durable
- No back-facing camera
- Hard to see in direct sunlight
- App crashing
I got it when it came out in gray, it lasted about 3 years befor completely ding after a hip hight drop. I had an OtterBox on it, and it landed on carpet, it just died right there. It is appearently a power issue with the battery, if you plug it in, it will still give you the red charging logo but wont do anything. pretty bad price to 400$ I paid for it, NOT WORTH IT!
I Have a Ipod touch 5g for a year now! I'm my question why would i buy that? first of all I thought that a5 chip would be very fast and not difference than A6! but i'm Wrong! it Very s**tty Performance! Youtube crashed every time because of lack of memory! 512mb ram DDR2! are you kidding me it 2015 man! and Still using a LPDDR2! it a worst mistake to get an iPod touch 5! i should get ipad 3 instead. A5x have a Gigabyte of ram! When i Look up Mortal Kombat X it said not support mine!
And Every they in High school most of my friend have an iphone 6 and i Jealous every days!
So i have to Jailbreak so i can disable launch demon and overclock and Not beable to use Facebook and Messenger app so i can save the battery life!so guy beaware for the performance! I Recommend Nvidia Shield Over Nexus 9 because Nexus 9 doesn't have an sd card and nvidia shield! thanks for reading!
