how is this different from a wifi-only iPhone?
LOVED me some trainyard.Hopefully they're keeping this thing around. I remember it being a great introduction into the iOS ecosystem when I was a kid, and using the iPod as a game console evokes a sense of nostalgia.
In fact, after learning that Epic was removing the Infinity Blade trilogy, I dug out my old 3rd generation iPod and synced massively out-of-date apps to it from the old family PC. It now serves as a shrine to gaming on the App Store circa 2008:
I use to want that, but no thanks. With Apples current issues with quality control and high prices , I would rather Nintendo remain independent.Apple is going to acquire Nintendo.
I'm not sure Japan would be happy with losing one of their most universally recognized symbols of success right before the 2020 Olympics.Apple is going to acquire Nintendo.
I do miss skeuphormism...Hopefully they're keeping this thing around. I remember it being a great introduction into the iOS ecosystem when I was a kid, and using the iPod as a game console evokes a sense of nostalgia.

iPads are $330 & iPhones are $450Actually now would be the perfect time to introduce new iPod Touch models with these crazy AF iPhone and iPad prices.
Apple is going to acquire Nintendo.
i once saw my brother playing real racing on TV with his iPad as game controller, no idea how he did that. maybe it is just mirroring or even jailbreaked somehow.Yes, that what I was meaning to ask. Can we currently do this?
Yes:It is possible to use Apple iPod Touch to interact with Apple TV so user can play games on their TV?
Or is this old news?
I have a 5th gen i use at work all night to listen to podcasts;I find these good for listening to music whilst exercising, saves taking a big, expensive plus sized iPhone with you and risk breaking or losing it, or getting it all sweaty or dirty. The 6th gen is still more than adequate for this but I’d probably buy one just for a fresh battery (particularly if they could eke a little more runtime out of it). If they can find a niche like gaming for it to occupy to help secure the line in the future then all the better
Sure, why not?Hmmm, let's see, how can we re-purpose all of this crap we have left over when people didn't buy the iPhone..?
I know, we will leave out the phone stuff and resurrect the iPod touch.
Splendid...splendid.....
We will make it.
And we will call it fancy.
They also have the same potential against home consoles. Now that they are a bit long in the teeth they probably have SoC advantage.Apple had the potential to do this for years, they had the CPU Chip, The Device, The credibility, The App Ecosystem yet they didnt do anything and then they lost to Nintendo Switch in this section which has a bad low end CPU, i hope Apple still picks up its act and give us a compelling Switch Killer. Switch is not a Indie friendly device most open source game engines cannot output to Switch nor as an individual game dev can one get access to the SDK. I hope Apple Changes that becomes more Developer friendly and Open. But Apple has to really convince the game companies, Indies and other game Developers to start writing/porting game titles for Apple Devices.
You also stated this in another thread, and I corrected you there. This is false, the A5 powered 5th gen received all updates up to and including iOS 9, just like the iPhone 4s, iPad mini and iPads 2 and 3. The A8 powered 6th gen is still supported on iOS 12 and I would fully expect it to be supported as long as the iPhone 6 series, and iPads Air 2 and mini 4. The iPod Touch is treated exactly the same as any other iOS device on the same chipset generation as far as receiving updates goes.The screen is too small to use for gaming while iPads would be a more appropriate sized screen. iTouch is ideal for those who want to use it play music. However, Apple have not been good at providing iOS updates on a longer term like they do with the iPhones.
