I found the new iPod Touch to be much faster and more responsive than the previous 6th generation model. Applications like PUBG Mobile loaded over 20 seconds faster. Graphics also look better thanks to the upgraded A10 Fusion chip. I could now play Fortnite, which wasn't supported on the older model. - Brandon Butch |

I found the new iPod Touch to be noticeably faster and more responsive than prior models thanks to its upgraded A10 Fusion chip and extra 1GB of RAM. It no longer suffers from the frequent lag and stuttering I saw on my 6th gen model. The extra RAM also allows for quicker app switching and background multitasking. However, I was disappointed by the lack of Touch ID given even older and cheaper iPhones have had it for years now. The camera also remains outdated compared to iPhones, still stuck at 8 megapixels and 1080p video. - jeff benjamin - 9to5Mac |

I'm surprised the headphone jack remains instead of pushing AirPods. I set up the iPod Touch without a SIM card, which I appreciate compared to Android devices. The A10 chip and Raise to Wake feature make it faster. Installling apps, it seems speedy. The back camera is not improved much, but fine for kids. The device got hot quickly playing games which concerned me. - Simple Alpaca |

Apple's iPod Touch, the 7th generation, arrived on the scene with promises of improved speed and responsiveness. Released on May 28, 2019, it boasted a sleek design and various color options. However, as of May 10, 2022, it was officially discontinued, marking the end of an era for the iPod product line.
Design and Display
Measuring at 4.86 x 2.31 x 0.24 inches and weighing a mere 3.10 ounces, the iPod Touch maintained its signature compact form.
The 4.0-inch Retina display, equipped with IPS LCD technology, delivered a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels at 326 PPI. The screen featured a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating, ensuring a clear and smudge-free viewing experience.
Performance and Storage
Powered by the A10 Fusion chip, a notable upgrade from its predecessor, the iPod Touch demonstrated a significant boost in speed.
The quad-core CPU running at 2340 MHz, along with the PowerVR Series 7XT GT7600 Plus GPU, facilitated smoother graphics and faster app loading.
However, the absence of detailed RAM specifications left users questioning its multitasking capabilities.
With an internal storage option of 256GB, the iPod Touch aimed to cater to users seeking ample space for their media and applications. Unfortunately, the absence of a memory card slot limited the device's expandable storage options.
Camera and Multimedia
The iPod Touch featured an 8MP rear camera and a 1.2MP front camera, capturing stills in HEIF and JPEG formats. The video recording capabilities included HEVC and H.264 formats.
While the camera offered standard features like autofocus, time-lapse video, and electronic image stabilization (EIS), it fell short compared to contemporary iPhones.
For multimedia enthusiasts, the iPod Touch supported a variety of audio formats, including AAC-LC, HE-AAC, MP3, and more. The built-in loudspeaker and 3.5mm jack provided audio output options, catering to different user preferences.
Connectivity and Battery Life
The device supported Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi standards, ensuring seamless connectivity. However, specific details about Wi-Fi hotspot functionality were not provided.
The absence of NFC, HDMI, and wireless charging may have left some users wanting more, especially considering evolving industry standards.
The iPod Touch's built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery promised up to 40 hours of music playback and up to 8 hours of video playback.
While these figures were commendable, some users reported disappointment with the actual battery life, estimating around 4 hours of usage on a full charge.
User Reviews and Recommendations
Several users praised the iPod Touch's improved speed and responsiveness, particularly noticeable in gaming applications.
However, concerns were raised about the device's limited RAM and disappointing battery life, making it less appealing for prolonged usage.
Reviewers suggested alternatives, such as refurbished iPhone SE models, which offered better overall features at a similar price point.
Despite these criticisms, the iPod Touch found a niche market among fitness enthusiasts and individuals seeking a dedicated music playback device.
In conclusion, the iPod Touch 7th generation delivered on its promise of enhanced performance but fell short in some key areas. Its discontinuation marked the end of an era for the iPod line, leaving users to explore alternative Apple devices better suited to their specific needs.
