Apple's iPod Touch gives you a good portion of the iPhone 6 experience in a tiny package, but it's a bit too small.
The 2015 Apple iPod Touch offers great performance and an impressive camera in a tiny package.
The 4-inch display is far too small, and the battery life is middling. And it's largely redundant if you already have a smartphone or tablet.
The updated iPod Touch remains a great portable media player and overall entertainment device, but its small screen feels like a throwback to an earlier era.

It's a welcome update that keeps the Touch competitive with the current generation of iPhone and iPad hardware -- this new Touch will play the latest games and be able to utilize the latest apps that were too taxing on the older hardware, and the new...

The Apple iPod touch is the best media player there is if you don't want a cellular connection.
Fast processor. Excellent app selection. Well-built.
Mediocre battery life. Not an audiophile music player.
Comparisons and Conclusions Apple seems to have very thought-through life cycles for its handheld products. Year one is premium; year two, midrange; year three, budget; year four, supported but not sold; and year five, for God's sake will you buy a new...

The latest nano is missing what made previous models special, but it still costs the same.
Lightweight, wearable design. Rotatable, multi-touch screen. Integrated FM radio and Nike+ fitness features.
Screen is smaller than 5th-gen iPod nano's. Video camera and video-playback capability have been removed. Tiny size makes it easy to misplace or lose. Lousy earbuds. Cover Flow is no longer supported.

The latest, shrunken touch-screen iPod nano marks a rare misstep from Apple. Because it is an iPod, the 6th-generation nano works seamlessly with a graceful user interface, but it's a flawed concept. Last year's 5th-gen nano came with a larger screen,...

Apple's first misstep in the iPod nano line-up, the sixth-generation model trades its predecessor's click wheel for touch-screen controls. But an ultracompact form factor means the display is much smaller. Plus you lose video capture and playback...
Expert review by : Brian Fagioli (betanews.com)
When Apple unveiled the first iPod, it was a game-changing moment. While not the first portable digital music player, it was the first to nail the interface and experience. Later models would feature the legendary click wheel and expand to photos and...

Just when you thought it might be over for the iPod Touch since there hasn't been a refresh in 3 years and phones seem to be replacing pocket media players... BOOM: Apple surprises us with the 6th generation iPod Touch. Though it might look the same on...
All the goodness of iOS in your pocket without a cellular contract. Great for gaming and Apple Music
Now that most folks own smartphones, the iPod Touch might seem atavistic
Thinking of upgrading from a 5th generation iPod Touch? Do it! The 6th gen model is over 2x faster and the 8MP camera is much better than the outgoing 5MP. You'll get 1080p video recording, slow motion, time lapse, panorama and generally sharper and...

It's almost surprising that Apple bothered to update the iPod touch in 2015. With most people already having a smartphone in their pockets, what place does a Wi-Fi only smartphone have in today's marketplace? Let's try to answer that, as Gizmag reviews...
We could jump into a long list of technical feature breakdowns (and we will cover some of that), but that one question remains: what the hell does one do with an iPod touch in a smartphone-saturated world?
Expert review by : T3 Magazine (t3.com)
Since its launch in 2007, the iPod Touch – Apple's “iPhone without a phone” – has sold over 100 million units, but in recent years it's been forced to watch from the sidelines as the flashier iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch have hogged the limelight.
Speedy operation ; Abundant features ; Long battery life
Pathetic built-in speaker ; No high-res support
In today’s smartphone-dominated portables market, one thing’s for sure – if you do hanker after an MP3 player, the impressive new iPod Touch makes your choice a no-brainer. Much more than an MP3 player, the sixth-gen Touch is really a powerful pocket...
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
The iPod Touch returns with a few tweaks in tow, but is there still life in the old portable music player?
Gorgeous screen ; Bright, punchy picture ; Clear, direct and upbeat sound ; Speedy operation ; Sharp camera ; Practical design
Screen may be too small for some
A tempting alternative to the iPhone for those that don’t need cellular coverage
