			The iPod Touch ran on ], the same ] as the iPhone. It included Safari, Google Maps, a Mail app, apps for Music and Videos, and several more. Users type on a ] displayed on the ]. Apple operates online ], allowing users to buy and directly download music, videos and third-party software. From launch, the iPod Touch was described by journalists as an "iPhone without the phone,"<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/05/apple-announces-ipod-touch-iphone-without-the-phone\|title=Apple announces iPod touch: iPhone without the phone\|publisher=]\|first=Erica\|last=Sadun\|date=September 5, 2007\|access-date=September 5, 2007\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070909233702/http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/05/apple-announces-ipod-touch-iphone-without-the-phone/\|archive-date=September 9, 2007\|url-status=dead}}</ref> and each succeeding iPod Touch model was introduced with the same ] of iOS as the contemporary iPhone model.

			On April 8, 2010, Apple announced iPhoneOS 4.0 in the Apple Special Event, covering seven main new features, such as multitasking, folders, mail enhancements, iBooks, better enterprise features, Game Center, and iAd. It supports both the iPod touch second, third and fourth-generation models, and this marks the first iOS release that drops the iPod touch first-generation. Prior to the release, iOS 4 was mostly criticized for the second-generation iPod Touch for not having multitasking and Home Screen wallpapers due to poor performance and lagging icon animations, while both the third and fourth-generation iPod Touches fully support all of the main seven and other hidden features covered in the Special Event.<ref>{{Cite web \|date=2010-04-08 \|title=iPhone OS 4.0: No multitasking for iPhone 3G and second gen iPod touch \|url=https://www.engadget.com/2010-04-08-iphone-os-4-0-no-multitasking-for-iphone-3g-and-second-gen-ipod.html \|access-date=2024-05-04 \|website=Engadget \|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|date=2010-06-22 \|title=Steve Jobs on Lack of Custom Wallpapers in iOS 4 for iPhone 3G \|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/22/steve-jobs-on-lack-of-custom-wallpapers-in-ios-4-for-iphone-3g/ \|access-date=2024-05-04 \|website=MacRumors \|language=en}}</ref>

			iOS updates to iPod Touch models prior to iOS 4 were required to be purchased by their owners. Apple received criticism for this decision and for excluding certain iPhone features from the iPod Touch software.<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/ipod-touch-users-if-you-bought-after-jan-1-the-new-apps-are-fre\|title=iPod touch users: if you bought after Jan 1 the new apps are free – maybe\|work=]\|publisher=]\|first=Ryan\|last=Block\|author-link=Ryan Block\|date=January 17, 2008\|access-date=March 3, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.applematters.com/article/early-adopter-tax-resurfaces-with-the-ipod-touch-january-software-upgrade\|title=Early Adopter Tax Resurfaces with the iPod touch January Software Upgrade\|publisher=AppleMatters\|first=Aayush\|last=Arya\|date=January 24, 2008\|access-date=March 3, 2010}}</ref> Apple's position was that they could add features for free to the iPhone because it realizes revenue via subscription, rather than as a one-time payment (as iPhones at the time were typically sold with a carrier contract).<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.macworld.com/article/189247/ipodtouch-3.html\|title=Accounting rules behind iPod touch update charge\|publisher=]\|first=Jim\|last=Dalrymple\|access-date=February 16, 2022}}</ref> At WWDC in June 2010, as of iOS 4, Steve Jobs announced that Apple had "found a way" to make subsequent OS upgrades available free to iPod Touch owners.

			On June 8, 2015, it was announced at the ] that the fifth-generation iPod Touch would support ], along with other ] devices, becoming the first iPod Touch to support four major versions of iOS.

			==== Setup and synchronization ====
			iPod Touch units running iOS 4 or earlier were required to be connected to a Mac or PC for first-time setup. Downloading apps or media from the iTunes Store and App Store does not require a computer, though media not purchased through the iTunes Store still has to be added through a computer.

			iPod Touch units produced since October 12, 2011 have iOS 5.0 or later preloaded, and can be set up wirelessly,<ref>{{cite web\|title=iOS 5 – See new features included in iOS 5\|url=https://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#pcfree\|url-status=dead\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111006001329/http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html#pcfree\|archive-date=October 6, 2011\|access-date=November 29, 2011\|publisher=]\|df=mdy-all}}</ref> without the need of a PC or Mac.

			==== Purchasing content ====
			To purchase content on the iPod Touch, the user must create an ] or have an existing account. With this account one may download music and videos from the ], apps from the ], or books from the ]. An Apple ID account created without a credit card can be used to get free content, and gift cards can be used to pay for apps instead of using a credit card.

			==== Third-party applications ====
			The only official way to obtain third-party applications for the iPod Touch is through Apple's ], which is a branch of ]. The App Store application, available in all versions of iOS from 2.0 onwards, allows users to browse and download applications from a single online repository (hosted by Apple) with the iTunes Store.

			Sideloading apps outside the App Store is done through the ] application, and is intended for developers and enterprises, though tools for sideloading outside of Xcode exist, and are mainly used for applications not allowed in the App Store.

			=== Design and hardware ===
			The iPod Touch is generally similar to the ] models prior to the iPhone X (excluding the second- and third-generation iPhone SE). Compared to a same-generation iPhone, an iPod Touch is thinner, lighter, and less expensive, while lacking some hardware and software features. ] once referred to the iPod Touch as "training wheels for the iPhone."<ref>{{cite news\|last=Fildes\|first=Nic\|date=September 19, 2007\|title=iPhone finally arrives but it's neither cheap nor G3\|work=]\|location=UK\|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/iphone-finally-arrives-but-its-neither-cheap-nor-g3-402835.html\|access-date=October 24, 2008}}</ref>

			All iPod Touch models lack biometric authentication, ], ], ], an earpiece speaker, and a ]. Depending on the generation, the iPod Touch may have a smaller or inferior display and camera(s) compared to the iPhone. Newer models (fifth, sixth, and seventh generation) lack the ambient light sensor that makes automatic brightness available. The first-generation iPod Touch lacks a built-in speaker, and all iPod Touches prior to the fourth generation lack a microphone, a camera, and a flash. Starting with the ], a camera and microphone were added, and starting with the ], an LED flash was added.

			The iPod Touch has no cellular modem, and therefore cannot directly make phone calls on the ]. However, it can make ] calls such as ], and send ]s to other iPhones, ], ]s, and iPod Touch models with an ]. The fifth-generation iPod Touch and later can forward and receive standard phone calls through a separate iPhone (a feature introduced in iOS 8), with the Wi-Fi Calling feature. The two devices must be linked to the same Apple ID, and the iPhone's carrier must support this feature.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling\|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203032\|access-date=4 January 2019\|website=Apple Support\|language=en}}</ref>

			==== Connectivity ====
			{{Main\|Dock connector#Apple 30-pin dock connector\|Lightning (connector)}}
			{{stack\|]}}

			The iPod Touch can communicate with a computer through Wi-Fi or USB using a cable and a dock connector.

			iPod models released before 2012 feature a 30-pin dock connector (known colloquially as the iPod dock connector), which carried analog signals.

			The ], ], and ] generations of the iPod Touch feature a new digital ], called ], which was introduced alongside the ], ] and ], and the ] models. This new connector is smaller than the previous one allowing for a slimmer form factor, and is reversible. Various accessories are available to connect the Apple Lightning connector to the older 30-pin dock connector or ],<ref>{{cite web\|date=September 12, 2012\|title=Apple iPhone 5 features\|url=https://www.apple.com/iphone/features\|access-date=September 13, 2012\|publisher=]}}</ref> although not all old accessories will work, because the Lightning connector cannot handle analog signals.<ref>{{cite web\|last=McGlaun\|first=Shane\|date=September 13, 2012\|title=iPhone 5 won't work with some accessories even with Apple Lightning adapter\|url=http://www.slashgear.com/iphone-5-wont-work-with-some-accessories-even-with-lightning-adapter-13247441\|access-date=September 13, 2012\|work=SlashGear\|publisher=R3 Media}}</ref>

			== User-made modifications ==
			{{See also\|iOS jailbreaking}}

			Like all of Apple's iOS devices, the iPod Touch is a tightly controlled or ]. Communication between apps is limited and controlled, and Apple is the only authorized software vendor for firmware and applications. Hackers have attempted to "]" all iOS devices to enable forbidden or unsupported features, such as multitasking in iOS versions before 4.0, themes for the home screen, and enabling the battery-percentage indicator (limited to the iPhone prior to the seventh-generation iPod Touch). Jailbreaks for the iPod Touch first surfaced a month after the original model was released in September 2007, when ] released ] 1.0 (also called "AppSnapp") to jailbreak iPhone OS 1.1.1.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10115200-233.html\|title=Official iPhone 1.1.1 jailbreak released with easy-to-follow instructions; does not require TIFF exploit\|work=]\|publisher=]\|first=Ben\|last=Wilson\|date=October 10, 2007\|access-date=November 10, 2009\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090719014856/http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19512_7-10115200-233.html\|archive-date=July 19, 2009\|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/139061/hacker_software_can_install_unauthorized_software_on_iphones.html\|title=Hacker Software Can Install Unauthorized Software on iPhones\|publisher=]\|first=Gregg\|last=Keizer\|date=October 29, 2007\|access-date=August 25, 2011\|archive-date=September 25, 2011\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925173658/http://www.pcworld.com/article/139061/hacker_software_can_install_unauthorized_software_on_iphones.html\|url-status=dead}}</ref> This allowed users to install third-party programs on their devices before Apple permitted this with iPhone OS 2.

			Apple's warranty statement implies that an iPod Touch after jailbreaking or other modification made by unofficial means is not covered by Apple's warranty. Jailbreaking is a violation of the ] for using iOS. While the jailbreaking process can normally be undone by performing a restore through iTunes,<ref>{{cite web\|url=https://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/ipodisight.pdf\|title=iPod and iSight Warranty\|page=1\|publisher=]\|access-date=December 24, 2008}}</ref> there is a risk of rendering the device unusable.

			=== Supported OS releases ===
	==Comparisons to the iPhone and model comparisons==
	{{details\|iPhone OS version history}}
	The iPod Touch and the ] share the same hardware platform and are controlled by the same ] operating system. The iPod Touch lacks some of the iPhone's features: access to a phone network, a built-in microphone, a camera, ] capability, and ]; as a result, the iPod Touch is slimmer and lighter than the iPhone. Steve Jobs has referred to the iPod Touch as "training wheels for the iPhone".<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/iphone-finally-arrives-but-its-neither-cheap-nor-g3-402835.html \| title=iPhone finally arrives but it's neither cheap nor G3.the i-pod touch is almost the same as the i-phone but with no phone. \| first=Nic\|last=Fildes \| work=] \| date=September 19, 2007 \| accessdate=2008-10-24}}</ref>

			<div class="overflowbugx" style="overflow-x:auto;">
	The second generation iPod Touch has an added volume rocker and a built-in speaker, which were previously iPhone-only features. The second generation also comes with the chrome frame seen on the iPhone 3G, making the two almost identical when viewed from the front, with the only differences being no speaker above the screen, no silent/ringer switch and the sleep/wake button on the other side. The second generation also supports audio input when a headphone or earphone with microphone capabilities is plugged into the audio output jack. Although unannounced and unsupported by Apple, the iPod Touch has ] capability, as the included Wi-Fi chip (] BCM4325) has Bluetooth and ] support, as well as the advertised Wi-Fi capability.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4325\|title=Broadcom page on wireless chip included in the second generation iPod Touch\|publisher='']''}}</ref> It is believed that this Bluetooth capability is being used for ] support, as Apple has said that the Nike+iPod kit works on an unspecified 2.4 GHz radio frequency.

	Second generation iPod Touches are said to have a yellower cast/tint to the display, as compared to the iPhone or the original iPod Touch.

			== Reception ==
	Apple states that the following is required for the iPod Touch:<ref name=techspecs1>, '']''{{accessdate\|2007-09-05}}</ref>
			Upon launch in 2007 the first generation iPod Touch received mostly good reviews for its display, its full Web browser, and YouTube support. However, it was also criticized for being a "stripped down" iPhone, for lacking external volume buttons on its initial models, and for having a lower-quality display.<ref>{{Cite web\|url = https://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/apple-ipod-touch-8gb-16gb\|title = Review: Apple iPod touch (8 GB/16GB/32GB)\|date = September 17, 2007\|access-date = September 24, 2020\|archive-date = February 19, 2023\|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230219115613/https://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/apple-ipod-touch-8gb-16gb\|url-status = dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2007/09/the-ipod-meets-the-iphone-a-review-of-the-ipod-touch/\|title=The iPod meets the iPhone: A review of the iPod touch\|date=September 17, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://the-gadgeteer.com/2007/09/21/apple_ipod_touch/\|title=Apple iPod touch – the Gadgeteer\|date=September 21, 2007 }}</ref>

	==Third-party applications==
	]
	The only official channel to obtain third-party applications for the iPod Touch is Apple's ]. The ] application, available in all versions of the iPhone OS from version 2.0 (or Software Update 2.0) onwards, allows users to browse and download applications from an online repository with the iTunes Store. To develop such software, a ] (SDK) was officially announced on March 6, 2008, at an Apple Town Hall meeting.<ref></ref> The ] allows developers to make applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch after paying a fee to join the development team. The developer can then set the price for the applications they develop and will receive 70% of the sale price. The developer can also opt to release the application for free and will not pay any additional costs.

			Later models received a more lukewarm reception, with reviewers questioning whether an iPod Touch made sense as a product in a time where smartphones had become more affordable.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Benjamin \|first=Jeff \|date=February 26, 2020 \|title=The Rewind: iPod touch 7th-gen – a legit Apple Arcade console? \|url= https://9to5mac.com/2020/02/26/the-rewind-ipod-touch-7th-gen-a-legitimate-apple-arcade-portable-gaming-machine/ \|access-date=November 16, 2020 \|website=9to5Mac}}</ref>
	Thomas Fessler, the CEO of Handheld Games Corp, a developer of third-party games for the iPod Touch and iPhone, reported that the performance of its 3D game varied across different models, with the second generation iPod Touch delivering significant performance increases over its predecesor and both iPhone models.<ref>http://toucharcade.com/2008/11/23/2nd-generation-ipod-touch-faster-than-iphone/</ref> This is attributed to the increased processor speeds in the second generation iPod Touch, though Fessler speculates that other factors may have contributed to it.

			== Discontinuation ==
	Shortly after the iPod Touch was released (iPhone OS version 1.1.1), hackers were able to "]" the device through a ]. The resulting application, "Installer.app", enabled the user to download a selection of unofficial third-party programs. Some of these give the user more control over the iPod Touch than is officially available, and also makes it work on Linux operating systems. Versions 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.1, and 2.2 can also be jailbroken.<ref name=jailbreak1>{{cite web \|url=http://winpwn.com/index.php/Main_Page \|title=WinPwn official site \|accessdate=2008-07-26 \|date=2008-07-25}}</ref> Only first generation iPods can be jailbroken, since the newest generation has a different ]. Servicing an iPod Touch after jailbreaking or other modifications made by unofficial means is not covered by Apple's warranty.{{fact\|date=December 2008}}
			In May 2022, Apple announced that after over 20 years, the iPod Touch, and the iPod line as a whole, were to be discontinued; the iPod Touch would remain available only while supplies last.<ref>{{cite web \| url=https://www.rte.ie/news/newslens/2022/0511/1297299-apple-ipod/ \| title=Apple pulls plug on iconic iPod after 20 years \| website=] \| date=May 11, 2022 }}</ref>

The iPod Touch (stylized as iPod touch) is a discontinued line of iOS-based mobile devices designed and formerly marketed by Apple Inc. with a touchscreen-controlled user interface. As with other iPod models, the iPod Touch can be used as a portable media player and a handheld gaming device, but can also be used as a digital camera, a web browser, for email and messaging. It is nearly identical in design to the iPhone, and can run most iPhone third-party apps from the App Store, but it connects to the Internet only through Wi-Fi and uses no cellular network data, as it lacks a cellular modem.

The iPod Touch was introduced in September 2007, and around 100 million units were sold by May 2013. The final iPod Touch model, released on May 28, 2019, is the seventh-generation model.

iPod Touch models were distinguished by storage space and color; all models of the same generation typically offered identical features, performance, and operating system upgrades. An exception is the fifth generation, in which the low-end (16 GB) model was initially sold without a rear-facing camera and in a single color.

The iPod Touch was the last product in Apple's iPod product line after the discontinuation of the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle on July 27, 2017, after which Apple revised the storage and pricing for the iPod Touch with 32 and 128 GB of storage. On May 10, 2022, Apple discontinued the iPod Touch, effectively ending the iPod product line. The last iOS version to support the seventh-generation iPod Touch is iOS 15, except for ongoing OS maintenance.

Features

Software

Main article: iOSSee also: iOS version history

The iPod Touch ran on iOS, the same operating system as the iPhone. It included Safari, Google Maps, a Mail app, apps for Music and Videos, and several more. Users type on a virtual keyboard displayed on the screen. Apple operates online stores, allowing users to buy and directly download music, videos and third-party software. From launch, the iPod Touch was described by journalists as an "iPhone without the phone," and each succeeding iPod Touch model was introduced with the same release of iOS as the contemporary iPhone model.

On April 8, 2010, Apple announced iPhoneOS 4.0 in the Apple Special Event, covering seven main new features, such as multitasking, folders, mail enhancements, iBooks, better enterprise features, Game Center, and iAd. It supports both the iPod touch second, third and fourth-generation models, and this marks the first iOS release that drops the iPod touch first-generation. Prior to the release, iOS 4 was mostly criticized for the second-generation iPod Touch for not having multitasking and Home Screen wallpapers due to poor performance and lagging icon animations, while both the third and fourth-generation iPod Touches fully support all of the main seven and other hidden features covered in the Special Event.

iOS updates to iPod Touch models prior to iOS 4 were required to be purchased by their owners. Apple received criticism for this decision and for excluding certain iPhone features from the iPod Touch software. Apple's position was that they could add features for free to the iPhone because it realizes revenue via subscription, rather than as a one-time payment (as iPhones at the time were typically sold with a carrier contract). At WWDC in June 2010, as of iOS 4, Steve Jobs announced that Apple had "found a way" to make subsequent OS upgrades available free to iPod Touch owners.

In June 2011, iOS 5, the fifth major release of iOS software, was announced at Apple's WWDC 2011, adding notification, messaging, and reminder features. Apple limited some features, such as the voice control system Siri, which was only exclusive to the iPhone 4S on launch, and like the iPhone 4 and 3GS, it was absent for both the third- and fourth-generation iPod Touches.

The following year, iOS 6, which was released on September 19, 2012, for the fourth- and fifth-generation iPod Touch models, contains 200 new features, including Passbook, Facebook integration, and Apple Maps. The fifth-generation iPod Touch gained the ability to take panoramic photos, a feature shared with the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.

On June 8, 2015, it was announced at the WWDC that the fifth-generation iPod Touch would support iOS 9, along with other A5 chip devices, becoming the first iPod Touch to support four major versions of iOS.

Setup and synchronization

iPod Touch units running iOS 4 or earlier were required to be connected to a Mac or PC for first-time setup. Downloading apps or media from the iTunes Store and App Store does not require a computer, though media not purchased through the iTunes Store still has to be added through a computer.

iPod Touch units produced since October 12, 2011 have iOS 5.0 or later preloaded, and can be set up wirelessly, without the need of a PC or Mac.

Purchasing content

To purchase content on the iPod Touch, the user must create an Apple ID or have an existing account. With this account one may download music and videos from the iTunes Store, apps from the App Store, or books from the Apple Books Store. An Apple ID account created without a credit card can be used to get free content, and gift cards can be used to pay for apps instead of using a credit card.

Third-party applications

The only official way to obtain third-party applications for the iPod Touch is through Apple's App Store, which is a branch of iTunes Store. The App Store application, available in all versions of iOS from 2.0 onwards, allows users to browse and download applications from a single online repository (hosted by Apple) with the iTunes Store.

Sideloading apps outside the App Store is done through the Xcode application, and is intended for developers and enterprises, though tools for sideloading outside of Xcode exist, and are mainly used for applications not allowed in the App Store.

Design and hardware

The iPod Touch is generally similar to the iPhone models prior to the iPhone X (excluding the second- and third-generation iPhone SE). Compared to a same-generation iPhone, an iPod Touch is thinner, lighter, and less expensive, while lacking some hardware and software features. Steve Jobs once referred to the iPod Touch as "training wheels for the iPhone."

All iPod Touch models lack biometric authentication, 3D Touch, NFC, GPS, an earpiece speaker, and a noise-cancelling microphone. Depending on the generation, the iPod Touch may have a smaller or inferior display and camera(s) compared to the iPhone. Newer models (fifth, sixth, and seventh generation) lack the ambient light sensor that makes automatic brightness available. The first-generation iPod Touch lacks a built-in speaker, and all iPod Touches prior to the fourth generation lack a microphone, a camera, and a flash. Starting with the 4th generation iPod Touch, a camera and microphone were added, and starting with the fifth-generation iPod Touch, an LED flash was added.

The iPod Touch has no cellular modem, and therefore cannot directly make phone calls on the public switched telephone network. However, it can make VoIP calls such as FaceTime, and send iMessages to other iPhones, Macs, iPads, and iPod Touch models with an Apple ID. The fifth-generation iPod Touch and later can forward and receive standard phone calls through a separate iPhone (a feature introduced in iOS 8), with the Wi-Fi Calling feature. The two devices must be linked to the same Apple ID, and the iPhone's carrier must support this feature.

Connectivity

Main articles: Dock connector § Apple 30-pin dock connector, and Lightning (connector)

Apple Lightning connector

The iPod Touch can communicate with a computer through Wi-Fi or USB using a cable and a dock connector.

iPod models released before 2012 feature a 30-pin dock connector (known colloquially as the iPod dock connector), which carried analog signals.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh generations of the iPod Touch feature a new digital dock connector, called Lightning, which was introduced alongside the iPhone 5, fourth-generation iPad and first-generation iPad Mini, and the seventh-generation iPod Nano models. This new connector is smaller than the previous one allowing for a slimmer form factor, and is reversible. Various accessories are available to connect the Apple Lightning connector to the older 30-pin dock connector or USB, although not all old accessories will work, because the Lightning connector cannot handle analog signals.

Reception

Upon launch in 2007 the first generation iPod Touch received mostly good reviews for its display, its full Web browser, and YouTube support. However, it was also criticized for being a "stripped down" iPhone, for lacking external volume buttons on its initial models, and for having a lower-quality display.

Notable competing products as of 2009 included Creative's ZEN X-Fi2, Sony's Walkman X Series, and Microsoft's Zune HD; and as of 2011, the Samsung Galaxy Player and Sony Walkman Z Series.

Later models received a more lukewarm reception, with reviewers questioning whether an iPod Touch made sense as a product in a time where smartphones had become more affordable.

Discontinuation

In May 2022, Apple announced that after over 20 years, the iPod Touch, and the iPod line as a whole, were to be discontinued; the iPod Touch would remain available only while supplies last.
