iPod 7th Gen 2019

The iPod touch 7th Gen (2019, A2178) is an internal update to the iPod touch 6th Gen models it replaced, featuring a faster processor, double the RAM, an option for more storage, and different identifiers.

The iPod touch 7th Gen models each have a 4" widescreen multi-touch IPS "retina" display (1136x640, 326 ppi) and dual cameras: an 8-megapixel rear "iSight" camera with LED flash for 1080p video and a 1.2-megapixel front "FaceTime HD" 720p camera. They support Bluetooth 4.1 and 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi. This model adds Group FaceTime and AR support to the AirPlay, Siri, music, photo, video, and iOS app functionality of recent predecessors.

Internally, this model is powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core A10 Fusion processor, has 2 GB of RAM, and was offered with 32 GB, 128 GB, or 256 GB of flash storage. Apple's estimated battery life is 40 hours of music playback and 8 hours of video playback.

The iPod touch 7th Gen models use an aluminum "unibody" case design available in six colors: a dark "space gray," gold, silver, hot pink, blue, and (PRODUCT) RED. The "space gray" option has a black glass front, while the other five have white glass fronts.

The final iPod touch, released in 2019, was a quiet but meaningful update. Its primary enhancement was the A10 Fusion chip, a significant jump from the A8, which enabled support for ARKit applications and Group FaceTime for the first time on the device. [11] This processor upgrade, along with a boost in RAM, ensured it could run modern apps and games smoothly, extending its lifespan. [25, 32] However, the exterior design, screen, and cameras were carried over from the 2015 model, which felt dated to some observers in an era of bezel-less smartphones. [8] The reception was therefore mixed; it was appreciated as a capable and affordable iOS device for kids, developers, or those wanting a dedicated media player, but it was also seen as a nostalgic product in a world dominated by do-it-all smartphones.
