iPod touch 5G features chosen by you

By: Daniel Chubb | October 2, 2011 | 33 Comments

You wouldn’t think there would be a new iPod touch 5G at the Apple event in two days, especially considering Apple named the invites with “iPhone” and not “iPod”. So we know for sure they want to talk about the iPhone 5/4S, but what about other products and services like iCloud, and a new iPod device?

We spoke about rumors of a new touchscreen home key back in April of this year, and the possibility of a white 5th generation iPod touch appearing at Tuesday’s press conference with just a few changes, although is this what the users want? We looked at the feedback from PR readers and it seems most of you would like an upgrade and have voiced your opinions on what iPod Touch 5G features are needed.

Some of you made a few predictions for the next iPod, which include the device being smaller this year and featuring an A5 processor with increased RAM, and 1080p video recording. One of the most wanted features is “3G”, although some people quickly point out this will help Apple lose sales of the iPhone.

So no matter how crazy some of the wanted features are, these are the ones you asked for so far: 3G Internet, a larger display, 8PM camera, a faster processor, 4G, ability to make free phone calls, free Internet access, a cheaper price, FM radio like on the Nano, and more battery life when using video. It seems that a lot of people want all that they expect on the iPhone 5, but without the phone.

When do you think Apple will release the iPod touch 5G? And are any features missing from what’s mentioned above, which you want?

    Most important one for me is the upraded camera. It needs to be improved! and the colour white is nice too.. :)

  • Alexmarison

    Dual A5 chips is what’s most important to me. And, Apple, please don’t even bother with 3G if youre not going to give us 4G. I don’t want a discount, second rate device – you can make an additional iPod touch that is such a thing, but none has been one so far, I am expecting the new one to be state of the art.

  • Atassone2000

    i want more battery life

  • arlacta

    no one really needs 1080p, 720p is enough. but for phototaking you need more than 960×720 pixels, that’s pathetic! i’d want 5MP, like in the iphone 4.

  • Woody

    Slightly bigger screen, oleophobic coating, longer battery life, better camera, A5, more RAM, and last but not least, 3G data plans for a 3G iPod Touch.

    Tall order, I know. I’m bracing myself for Cook to only introduce a white model with last year’s specs at lower prices and call it a day. That would suck.

  • Anh022

    MORE HARD DRIVE SPACE!!!!!

  • Dinadoll2299

    We don’t need a phone, that’s what the IPHONE is for so if you want a phone in the iPod touch, the iPhone is kind of an obvious solution.

    Larger display, better camera, radio, and more battery life.

  • joe

    8PM Camera? really?

  • Atassone2000

    Put 3g network but dont put free phone calls and 7mp camera is good.It also needs like 10 hrs of battery life

  • Atassone2000

    It needs text messaging that would be good but just make the price larger

    Definitely: better camera, faster processor, ios 5 with icloud, longer battery life.
    Possibly bt unlikely: white ipod touch 5g would be coolA5 chip not too suretext msg between ipod touches over wifibuilt in radiono home button.Highly Unlikely: wider screen would be nice bt might not hppn3G? really unlikely…3g Ipod Touch 5g = basically iphone 5g, so what’s the point?128+ GB models3DThat is pretty much it…We all know Apple will never add all these desired features at once anyways! Later Ipod generations are going to need something to appeal customers..!!! #MckendyFJ
