| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 1GB LPDDR3 |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 128GB |
| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | No |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Accelerometer, Gyroscope |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes |
| Audio Technology | Album art cover, Background playback |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 1043 mAh |
| Battery Life | 8 hours |
| Charging | About 4 hours to full charge, 2 hours to 80% charge |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 8 MP, f/2.4 aperture |

I find the iPod Touch 6th generation to be a confusing device in 2016. While performance is smooth and fast thanks to the A8 chip, especially for gaming, I question who the target audience is. As an iPhone owner, I have no use for it. - underKG |

Pros: - Fast A8 chip provides good performance, especially for gaming - Bright, high resolution 4-inch Retina display - Very slim, lightweight, and portable design Cons: - Small 4-inch screen less ideal for certain tasks - Lacks newer features like Touch ID |
Apple has refreshed its iPod Touch, upgrading the portable media player's internal hardware to match the iPhone 6.
The new 6th generation iPod Touch delivers a fast, fluid experience thanks to the A8 chip, the same processor used in the iPhone 6.
The A8 chip makes the iPod Touch very snappy when launching and switching between apps.
It also enables console-quality graphics, allowing users to play the latest 3D games from the App Store.
The iPod Touch runs on iOS 8.4, giving it access to the entire library of over 1 million iOS apps.
For entertainment, the iPod Touch has a bright 4-inch Retina display with an 1136 x 640 resolution at 326 pixels per inch.
The screen shows photos, videos, books and more in sharp detail.
Audio plays loudly and clearly through the built-in speaker or headphone jack.
The iPod Touch features refreshed 8MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras. Users can shoot photos and HD videos, capture selfies, and make FaceTime video calls.
While image quality doesn't match the iPhone 6, the new cameras are a notable upgrade.
Despite the enhancements, Apple's portable player retains its thin, lightweight design at just 6.1mm thick and 88 grams.
The anodized aluminum body, available in six color choices, fits easily in a pocket. Battery life is rated at 8 hours of video or 40 hours of audio playback.
The iPod Touch caters to both first-time iOS users as well as iPhone owners wanting a dedicated device for music, videos, apps and games.
It lacks cellular connectivity found in iPhones, but provides full access to Apple services like iCloud, iTunes and App Store.
While powerful and feature-rich, questions remain whether the iPod Touch can maintain relevance in an era where smartphones have become ubiquitous.
But for the price, Apple has successfully upgraded its portable media player to almost match the iPhone 6, its top-selling phone.
For non-iPhone owners wanting iOS apps and entertainment in an ultraportable device, the new iPod Touch hits the mark.
