? view · edit Frequently asked questions
Why isn't there a criticism/controversy section in this article?
While reliable sourced criticisms and controversies can be included in this article, criticism sections themselves are generally discouraged. As a result of this, criticisms of the iPod Touch have been interleaved throughout the article in the appropriate section. See WP:NPOV and WP:CRIT for further information on criticism and controversy sections.
Where are the prices?
Under guideline WP:NOPRICES, street and retail prices are considered trivia items.
Why capitalise the T in "Touch" when the brand name is "iPod touch"?
Misplaced Pages has a guideline on trademark usage which errs on the side of standard English title case except for specific cases of common deviation (ironically including "iPod"). This helps ensure consistency in language for the sake of readers who might be unfamiliar with the subject.
Why is the operating system still called "iPhone OS" for versions less than 4.0?
For historical purposes, Misplaced Pages retains the naming convention of each major release of the operating system, as they were named at the time of its release. It was called "iPhone OS" until version 3.1.3, and "iOS" for versions 4.0 and later. By the same logic, if Microsoft Windows was renamed to "Microsoft XYZ", Misplaced Pages would not rename the previous releases to "Microsoft XYZ XP", "Microsoft XYZ Vista", etc. Such renaming would result in anachronism.


Techinical specifications Reference

This page appears to have a summary of Iphone and Ipod touch technical specifications. It should be included as an additional reference.

Please read WP:RS to see what a reliable source is. That site isn't one. And if you're trying to spam your web site (because I see you've linked that site on 3 different pages so far) give up. -- Atama 15:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
I posted that link on the iphone and ipod touch TALK pages because it was relevant to those articles. If you don't think it's a reliable source that's fine but don't go accusing someone of wrong doing when It was posted as a suggested inclusion on a talk page. Imsome (talk) 20:52, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
We think the site you linked to is spamming because the contents of the page is basically a collection of information one could have obtained from apple.com or even this very Misplaced Pages article. The qualification for an external link is if the site contains unique information not found in any other source, AND therefore expands beyond what is covered in the Misplaced Pages article. Please read WP:LINKS for more information. Groink (talk) 22:48, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

iPod Touch has 3G?

According to the article: "To use the iPod Touch for buying products at the iTunes Music Store via 3G or Wi-Fi, an iTunes Store account must be created and the account details then entered into the iPod."

The Touch obviously doesn't have a 3G or even a GSM radio built in so I think it's safe to say we can get rid of the 3G part. (Bswenso2 (talk) 19:35, 2 July 2009 (UTC))

ipod touch 3 gen request. could a user add a page about a speculated ipod tpuch

pinch media. detected the iphone 3gs the 3.0 software and now maybe the iPod touch 3 gen.here is proof http://cnettv.cnet.com/?tag=hdr;brandnav and http://www.pinchmedia.com/blog/ipod-31/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.78.160 (talk) 22:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Consult WP:SPECULATION. Groink (talk) 23:21, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Indeed. --Cybercobra (talk) 03:23, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

time line on releases.

i would like a time line or list of dates on releases of the iPod touch. also in the list or timeline any firmware updates and speculations of upcoming IPod. to be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kodahour (talkcontribs) 02:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Ipod touch 3rd gen?

A lot of rumors are piling up about the ipod touch 3rd gen, but there are a few websites that I found for proof. click on the link below:

Elpollero35 (talk) 20:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

As the old saying goes... We won't add this to Misplaced Pages until we hear it straight from the horse's mouth. Groink (talk) 21:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


iPod Touch or iPod touch?

There is not a great difference between the two possibilities, but the Apple website (http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/) write the word "touch", without capital letter. We can see the word "touch" in officials Apple websites, and "Touch" in "fan" pages. Do we have to change the title of the article or is there a reason to write it with a capital letter? --Xiglofre (talk) 09:39, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

In short, Misplaced Pages sticks to standard English capitalization. If it is a product name, the second and nth words must be capitalized. Only the first word can be left lowercase. Misplaced Pages does not allow a trademark owner to dictate capitalization (or lack of) like this. Groink (talk) 04:44, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

There is no third generation

The iPod touch has only been updated. A third generation model does not exist. It's only a updated second generation. Someone please fix the timeline! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.143.119.142 (talk) 20:43, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

But the new iPods are faster and have voice control i.e. The "new" 2nd gen 32GB iPod touch is not the same as the "old" 2nd gen 32GB iPod touch. Isn't this enough to call it 3rd gen, or at least be distinguished from the old one? 81.174.169.164 (talk) 01:05, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Apparently Apple calls it the third generation:
69.255.16.132 (talk) 01:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Ya, Apple can even confirm that the 32 and 64gb models are 3rd gen, They said it at the press conference, and on that link. Someone needs to fix this page and reflect those changes. I am intrested in the specs of the new Processor and Graphics chip. Sims2master5 (talk) 03:14, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Also note that internally it is referred to as the iPod3,1. Dustin Howett (talk) 03:52, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
definitely 3rd gen iPod Touch. The 32 and 64 GB versions are new. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thefatmould (talkcontribs) 04:08, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
the newest iPod touch is not the 3rd gen judging from the apple homepage http://support.apple.com/specs/#ipodtouch , even though capacity is changed and the processor may be changed. the generation of Nano is changed to 5th in this site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.94.230.123 (talk) 15:01, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but please remember the iPhone 3GS is the same exact design as the iPhone 3G, and of course comes with a faster processor, and is still a different generation of iPhone. 69.255.16.132 (talk) 18:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Music playback time is not 36 hours for new versions

Here http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html . Can anyone write new ipod touches's (32&64gb) cpu and ram details? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teorik Deli (talkcontribs) 21:38, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

No Bluetooth support

The iPod Touch 2G does not have Bluetooth support; it has a BT radio that cannot be enabled by the user unless jailbroken, and even then it really is not useful.

I'd update the article, but I've tried logging in too many times with the wrong password, plus the article is protected. 93.161.59.1 (talk) 18:17, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

... What? No, the 3.0 software update officially enables Bluetooth on the iPod touch 2G. Period. And the text in the article regards its availability, not its perceived usefulness. Dustin Howett (talk) 21:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


Really? My apologies. Thank you for clearing that up (lucky that I hadn't removed the text, then, though a revision to reflect that a paid upgrade is necessary might be in place) 93.161.59.1 (talk) 21:45, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

iPod touch "2G/3G" image.

Can somebody take a screenshot of the current default home screen? The icons are not in that order for the 3rd generation. We need the latest iPod touch generation in this article and the image I'm seeing looks like the iPod touch 2G. The App Store has replaced the iTunes Store in the dock. Safari replaces Photos in the dock as well. Please take a screenshot someone (you can go to apple.com and see all the images of iPod touch 3Gs on the first home screen and if you have an iPod touch 2G you can just rearrange all the icons in that order; that would work as well.) and get it approved. 69.255.16.132 (talk) 23:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

8GB Model

Please note for future edits that the 8GB iPod is NOT a third-generation device. The specifications on Apple's website are those of the original 2nd-generation device, and they are separate for a reason. It does not belong in the table with "Third". Thanks!
