Yesterday we showed you the new iPod Shuffle which the guys at iFixit took apart to see what was inside. Now they have done the same to the new iPod Touch.
The new iPod Touch is much slimmer than the previous version, it features Apple’s new A4 processor that can be found in the iPhone 4, and it comes with 256MB of RAM, as opposed to 512MB in the iPhone 4. This reduction in RAM might seem like a downgrade, but it is optimized to work efficiently with the iPod Touch’s operating system and applications, ensuring smooth performance for most tasks.
Design and Build Quality
According to iFixit, this is the easiest iPod Touch to take apart, it is basically held together with some glue and two tabs. The battery has been soldered to the main board, which might make it a bit challenging for those looking to replace it themselves. However, the overall design is sleek and modern, making it a desirable gadget for tech enthusiasts and casual users alike.
The new iPod Touch also features a high-resolution Retina display, similar to the one found in the iPhone 4. This display offers vibrant colors and sharp text, making it perfect for watching videos, playing games, and browsing the web. The device’s slim profile and lightweight design make it highly portable, fitting easily into pockets and small bags.
Camera and Multimedia Capabilities
It looks like the rear-facing camera on the iPod Touch is 0.7 megapixels, which is quite a bit less than the 5 megapixel one in the iPhone 4. While this might be a drawback for those looking to take high-quality photos, the camera is still capable of recording HD video at 720p. This makes it suitable for casual photography and video recording, especially for social media sharing and video calls.
The front-facing camera, although not as advanced as modern smartphones, is adequate for FaceTime and other video calling applications. The iPod Touch also supports a wide range of multimedia formats, making it a versatile device for music and video playback. With access to the App Store, users can download a variety of apps to enhance their multimedia experience, from streaming services like Spotify and Netflix to creative tools like GarageBand and iMovie.
Head on over to iFixit for lots more photos and details of what is inside the new iPod Touch. The teardown provides a comprehensive look at the internal components, offering insights into the engineering and design choices made by Apple.
Overall, the new iPod Touch is a well-rounded device that offers a good balance of performance, design, and multimedia capabilities. While it may not have all the features of the latest iPhones, it remains a popular choice for those looking for a dedicated media player or a secondary device for entertainment and communication.
