iPod Touch 5G vs iPod Touch 4G: Full Comparison for Your Black Friday Reference

As the era of smartphone rises, it is widely believed that the age of MP3 player is coming to an end. However, now Apple still keeps its iPod Touch lineup living and updates iPod device to 5th generation. With the hotly-anticipated Black Friday getting close, I found there are so many music enthusiasts hanging about choosing which generation of iPod Touch for Thanksgiving gift. So today I will show you all a full comparison between these two booming devices, so as to let you know better about the difference between the iPod Touch 5G and iPod Touch 4G just before you go to buy them on Black Friday.

Dimensions

From above photo, you will clearly find that iPod Touch 5G basically remains the original physical design, and simultaneously becomes much thinner and taller. Just following the evolution of iPhone 5, the screen aspect ratio of iPod touch 5G grows to be 16:9. The screen aspect of iPod touch 4G is 3:2.

Weight

When it comes to the weight of iPod Touch 5G, you must see that the iPod Touch 5G is much lighter than iPod 4G. When putting it on your pocket, I do believe you will always worry about the disappearing of this new 5G iPod. 

Display

Just similar to the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S, there is a screen increase for the two iPod touch generations. Apple has upgraded the 3.5-inch screen to a bigger 4-inch Retina screen.

Speaking of the screen resolution, the fourth generation is 960x640 at 326 pixels per inch, while the newer iPod Touch has a pixel resolution of 1,136x640 pixel resolution at also 326 pixels per inch.

Processor

As is known to all, the 5th generation iPod touch is the first model in iPod family to outfit a dual-core processor. The A5 processor makes the 5G iPod Touch fast and powerful enough for generally uses.

The engine power of the older 4G iPod touch is an A4 chip. For today's standards, it is a bit slow while doing multi-tasks on iPod touch 4G, like watch HD videos on iPod Touch. 

RAM

Comparing to the 4G iPod touch, the RAM of this newest iPod is upgraded to a double number 512MB. Combined with the dual-core chip and the perfect iOS, the 5G touch will be pretty quick. 

Storage

At present, the iPod Touch 5G is made available in the 32GB and 64GB variants, while the fourth generation offers in 16GB and 32GB options.

Wireless Connectivity

Talking about the connectivity, there is no difference between 4G and 5G iPod Touch. Both two devices are able to connect with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. 

Cameras

The camera of 5G iPod touch is a massive upgrade over its predecessor. It has a 5MP iSight camera and a front-facing camera with 1.2 megapixels. Meanwhile, it support to record video of up to 720p.

No quite detailed camera specs of 4G iPod Touch are provided by Apple. We just know that it supports to record videos at 720p. 

Battery

The iPod Touch 5G supports 40 hours music playback time and 8 hours for video playback. Meantime, the 4G variant has a music playback time of 40 hours, yet one hour less video playback time than iPod touch 5G. 

Voice Assistant

Far as I know, the iPod touch 5G is the fourth Apple device to equip Siri (after the iPhone 4S, New iPad and iPhone 5). This voice assistant could recognize so many languages. Personally, it is a quite great aide for our daily life. Bear in mind that you need to connect Wi-Fi if wanting to use Siri. 

Some other comparison about iPod touch 5G and iPod touch 4G:

About selling colors: the 4G iPod is only available on black and white versions, while 5G touch have a white front and various color choices for black.

About selling prices: Perhaps the only reason you will choose the 4G iPod Touch on this Black Friday is its much cheaper price. It will cost you $199 for the 16GB version while compared to $299 for the 32GB version of iPod Touch 5G.

Just my personal view, I highly suggest you to buy the newest iPod touch 5G on Black Friday. It is said that Apple will give some discounts for this appealing device. Well, if you just care about the price, iPod touch 4G is also a good choice.
