iPod touch (2019) 7th-generation review: a slightly more capable multi-purpose iOS handheld [Video]
Jeff Benjamin - 4:54 pm EDT Earlier this week the iPod touch received a modest upgrade, arriving with little fanfare via an Apple press release. The new 7th-generation iPod touch has little in the way of new features, but it does receive a CPU spec-bump that takes it from an iPhone 6-era Apple A8 to an iPhone 7-era A10 Fusion chip, not to mention double the RAM of the previous generation. The new hardware upgrades make it so that iPod touch users can enjoy Augmented Reality (AR) apps along with Group FaceTime capability for the first time. There’s also a new 256 GB flash storage tier, another first for the iPod lineup. It means that in 2019, there’s finally an iPod that bests the 160GB iPod Classic in terms of storage space. While the iPod touch isn’t the mass market item that earlier members of the product line once were, Apple believes that there continues to be a viable audience for such a device. Not only is it ideal for storing large music libraries locally, but with the upcoming launch of the new Apple Arcade subscription gaming service, Apple continues to position the iPod touch as a handheld gaming option. All of that said, should you consider buying this new iPod touch? Watch our hands-on video review for the details. more… The post iPod touch (2019) 7th-generation review: a slightly more capable multi-purpose iOS handheld [Video] appeared first on 9to5Mac.

9to5Toys - 4:03 pm EDT After buying a pair of new AirPods a couple days ago as a gift, it's all too real just how pricey they can be.

The AUKEY Key Series consists of four different pairs of headphones, but only one is truly wireless.
