Description

The Apple iPod Touch 2019 256GB is Apple's first iPod with 256GB of memory. This gives you more than enough room to download music and store it on your device. This way, you can also listen to your favorite tunes offline. On top of that, the iPod Touch is more suitable for mobile gaming than ever. The renewed A10 Fusion chip allows you to effortlessly play each game, and even lets you get started with Augmented Reality games. You can wirelessly listen to the sound of your music, games, and media, as the Apple iPod Touch is compatible with the Apple AirPods 2. The device is equipped with the iOS 12 operating system. This allows you to download apps from the App Store, send messages, and have FaceTime conversations. Want to post an Instagram picture? You can easily do so with the 1.2-megapixel selfie camera and the 8-megapixel rear camera.

Pricey but great music player!

The huge 256GB memory
The battery life
Format
The price

I bought this iPod as a replacement for my iPod classic 160GB. I like to have my entire collection of music with me, don't stream (and certainly not for a subscription fee) and also want to have music that is not available elsewhere (for example, rehearsals of my own band) on my iPod. Old-fashioned? Maybe, but this iPod caters to my choices and preferences. The sound quality is fine, but not very good with my JBL headphones. An equalizer may be able to add some colors, but it also costs a little more battery.

The more than spacious memory and the long battery life of up to 40 hours help me because I am often on the road for a long time and want to be able to move forward.

I have deliberately chosen not to use a phone as a music player because a separate player saves my phone battery. Also, most phones have a music player that I don't like. If you are in doubt: there are plenty of phones that cost less. If the player is not a problem for you, and you can charge the battery every day, it is worth considering buying a regular (possibly Android) phone with an additional SD card if necessary.

Since I only use the iPod as a music player, all other apps are superfluous for me and I've disabled many of them. If I wanted to play more than music, I would have bought an iPhone. The fact that the controls are set up like a telephone is sometimes useful (you find your way intuitively) but sometimes inconvenient (why enter a pin code every time it is on standby).

The size is good, fits comfortably in the hand. I do buy a case that protects the iPod against scratches and can absorb the first bump.

Note: Just when I was considering buying this iPod, Apple announced it was discontinuing iTunes. No problem for the Mac, but I charge my iPod via Windows. A phone call with Apple Netherlands taught me that iTunes for Windows will still exist.

Very nice that they are still for sale

Small and light
Nice to use
Lots of options and apps
Still quite pricey

I may be one of the few adult people who still has an iPod touch in 2019, but I'm glad they are still for sale. To be honest, it is no longer as necessary as when I bought my first iPod touch about 10/11 years ago (hurray technological developments!) and it is more of a luxury extra or just for children by now. I did this for almost 10 years with my first iPod touch (nice and economical) and haven't used it like that since last year due to all kinds of defects in that thing, but I noticed that I missed being able to put my music on a separate device play/listen, if only for the battery life of my iPhone.

After many months of deliberation, I finally decided to buy a new iPod touch, and I'm so glad I did! My old iPod touch had become super slow and therefore barely controllable, the sound quality of the music was noticeably less than through my iPhone, the accessories were outdated and more and more flaws started to show that I no longer used it. But this new iPod touch is wonderfully fast and responsive, what a relief! The latest iOS runs on it, and the device actually has all the options that an iPhone has nowadays (minus Whatsapp or calling) and all of this can be used on WiFi. Without WiFi there are of course limitations, but that doesn't matter to me, those extra options are more nice and convenient for me (because hello iCloud and Apple account where everything syncs). I downloaded the music I like a lot via Spotify so that I can listen offline and imported my iTunes music. The music also sounds just as good as on my iPhone and I can use the same earphones and charging cables, which makes a big difference. I do think the price is still relatively steep, since many options are actually a bit redundant for me personally, but I didn't like a refurbished older model either.

I can't say much about the battery life yet, it now seems comparable to my old one (but he was old too...) so it may be that it will be a bit disappointing. The advantage is that I can also connect it to a power bank with the same cable as my iPhone if necessary.

Have already had the necessary reactions such as "huh but you still have an iPhone and Spotify" or "you don't need this nowadays", and that's right, it's no longer an absolute must, but I like it very much myself to have an iPod again. I don't think I'll use it as much as the previous one, because sometimes firing up Spotify on my iPhone is just as handy when I'm just taking a short walk or sitting on the bus. But if I'm on the road longer, the iPod definitely lasts.
