What is difference between 4th and 5th Gen iPod Touch?
All the stores are selling iPod Touch 4th generation.

My kids are telling me there is a 5th generation.

However, from what I can tell, the 5th generation only adds a 64GB and the color white.

All I am interested in is an 8GB iPod Touch. Is the 4th generation the latest model?

Thank you in advance.

I hope there is not a 5th because I just bought the 4th, 32gb white, for my daughter and I want the latest one!

There really isn't a 5th generation. If there was, it would have been released this September, but instead they added a white model. The 64GB model has been an option ever since the 3rd generation.

The 4th generation is the latest model.

"5th" gen introduced a white model. Thats it. No RAM changes. No processor updates.

Really the current generation is still the 4th generation.

Apple doesn't call the newest iPod touch a 5th gen.

There is only white version of iPod Touch, but I think it's really not a big deal.

The information above is all correct regarding the colour and price change beeing the only 'real' changes. Although, if you read the teardown by ifixit, there are a couple of areas which MAY be different. Namely the board and some connections. I suspect they amount to nothing but if you want to be certain you are buying the very latest mode, I would purchase the white one because that didn't exist before September 2011.

Also, you can check your product's manufacturing date on http://www.powerbookmedic.com by inputing the product's serial number.

Actually, they did exist before that, they just weren't retail.

There is no 5th generation. They just added a white color to the 4th.

Well, there is no iPod 5th, the Final generation of iPod doesn't support video.

Your kids are mis-informed. There is no 5h generation iPod Touch as of 12/4/11. All Apple did was refresh the 4th generation line with a new color and software update.

There is no 5th gen, but rather the 4th generation lineup was refreshed with the addition of a white option. The 64GB version is not new to the iPod touch, but rather the latest iPhone. The latest model is inn fact the 4th generation.
