Packing:
The packaging is very simply decorated, as you know it from Apple. In one illustrative case is the iPod, the USB to Lightning cable (for charging and syncing), the Apple apple earbuds (earphones, more, see below under "apple earbuds") and the iPod Touch Loop (wrist strap, read more, please visit "camera"). In addition, here are the usual brief instructions, warranty information, and two Apple stickers.
Style:
The iPod is as you would expect from Apple knows very well designed. It has front the screen, the home button and front camera. Links are the volume keys on the back of the camera is, Apple logo, and he words "iPod". The iPod is really processed very well and feels very valuable, in that it is made entirely of aluminum.
Handling:
The new iPod is again thinner than the 4th generation, it is only 6.1 mm thin. It's all well and good that he is so thin, but it makes no real added value in everyday life. The device is 88 grams in weight, which in turn is good and so can the iPod without difficulty to last in one hand.
Display:
Apple advertises a new 4-inch display, which is the same as installed in the iPhone 5. In my opinion, it really creates Increased Value by the larger display (the "old" iPod had a 3.5 "display). This is a real advantage. One can see from everything simply more. One can browse his music better, better on the Internet surfing and so on. All default preinstalled apps from Apple are optimized for 4 ". Of the apps in the App Store, most important apps are already adapted to the larger display, but not all. Especially games have not been updated. All apps that have not been optimized for 4 ", can be operated normally, but with small black bars appear at the top and bottom. The important apps that I use every day are but already optimized. It has a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels. The 326 ppi and thus a Retina Display.
Processor and speed in everyday life:
The iPod Touch 5G has compared to the previous generation an A5 processor, which is the same chip as the iPad 2, iPhone 4S and iPad Mini. In iPhone 5 A6 processor is installed. In everyday use, the speed is enough. One can easily surf and with minimal waiting times on the Internet, read and reply to mail, use apps and so on. Even more complex games like Modern Combat 3 or Real Racing 2 can be liquid use and play.
Camera:
A new 5 megapixel camera has also been installed. The pictures seem so much sharper and more detailed than the 0.7 MP camera with the predecessor. The camera is similar to the camera of the iPad 3 and the iPad Mini. The camera has an autofocus and zoom. The shutter speed is also very fast. Very good, I find that the new camera also has a flash.
The camera captures video at 1080p Full HD. The front camera has a resolution of 1.3 MP and a quality of 720p for FaceTime calls. Another new feature is the "Loop". That is a wrist strap that you can reassign. For Vielfotografier might make sense, but rather unnecessary to me.
Siri:
The voice-activated assistant Siri is also there. I find the software basically good, but in everyday life it is no good because it actually goes faster when typing on things by hand. Dictation can I find good though, so you can dictate longer texts easily.
Apple earbuds:
With the new iPod, new headphones are included. The old Apple Earphones were underground bad. The new headphones can not compete with 300 Sennheiser or Bose products, but now you have to at least no longer ashamed of the poor quality. The apple earbuds have at first glance strange erscheinde figure, but they fit it very well in the ear and not fall out so easily. The sound has also improved a lot, they even reasonably Bass.
Price:
The iPod comes in black, white, blue, yellow, pink and red. With 32 GB it costs at Apple 319, with 64GB you have to put 100 more on the table.
Conclusion:
I find the new iPod was a successful development. It is not a revolution but an evolution. For people who are new to iPod, I can recommend it. For people who have the old iPod, it comes down to whether one the new features are worth 319. Especially the new display and the new camera have very convincing.
If you are not sure whether it is worth a purchase or have questions or suggestions, you can express love in the comments.
