5th Gen iPod Touch: Unboxed, in the flesh

Bought the 5th-generation iPod Touch lst Friday night after learning that Beyond the Box was already carrying them. Although it is still in limited stocks, was able to get 32GB black/slate model for around Php16USD 0.27INR 23EUR 0.26CNY 2.5k.

I think this is the first time that Apple introduced a lot of colors to the iPod Touch line (used to be just black and white).

One of the first things you will notice when you unbox the iPod Touch 5G is how thin and light it is. At only 6.1mm thin, this is very apparent when you hold the device. So yeah, it’s the sexiest iPod Touch yet.

The display is now bigger at 4.0 inches, just like the iPhone 5. It also features the Retina Display. The back panel is an anodized aluminum where the color is bonded to the metal.

The accessories inside the box includes the new Earpods, the Lightning cable and the hand-strap. There’s a small metal button at the bottom corner in the back that pops out when you press it so you can hook the strap.

Here’s some more sample photos we took while unboxing the iPod Touch.

I wonder if this is a better choice than iPad Mini. Seems like there are not that many aftersales products yet (cases, protectors, etc) for iPod Touch…

Sir, bale plano ko po bumili ng iTouch. Anu-ano po ba yung difference between 4th gen. and 5th gen. itouch?
Pero 4th gen(16gb) po talaga yung nasa plano ko, kasi yun yung pinaka-pasok sa budget ko. Pero kung sakali, gusto ko lang po malaman kung ano yung mga pagkakaiba. Salamat :D
