iPod touch New iPod touch is a huge disappointment

but a new one would be better than my current one, so...Awesome. We can close this thread... except, nobody else got the memo!
I'm honestly waay ahead of the curve in "don't want one, don't buy it". I never updated my iPod Touch 5 to 6th gen. Same dinky screen. I'll see what my options are later on in getting an older iPhone with a larger screen, or if the iPod Touch 6th or 7th gen's go on sale. Otherwise, I'm fine with living out the rest of my "handheld iOS days" until my IpT5 finally croaks. I do still have my Ipad Air (1) as well.
right, i have a gen5 too, & didn't upgrade because everyone said the gen6 chip was too powerful & drained the battery too fast... just wondering if gen7 was better
BAH, HUMBUG!
Definitely worth it. I have maxed out my two 160GB aging Classics and the 256GB Silver gives me more than enough room and some years to enjoy over 15,000 and growing tracks with my fantastic $50 TaoTronics bluetooth noise canceling phones as well as sending my music to the Alexa Echos and Dots around the house. All that and the other IOS apps as well. What's not to like?
The processor is plenty fast enough for iPod apps, and who needs a huge, expensive, current iPhone cluttering up your pocket.
The Apple EarPods that come with it aren't bad, but can't compete with the TaoTronics, particularly if you have to use hearing aids as I do. Can't use the pods but the Phones are great. Plus the Alexa gnomes probable enjoy listening to my music instead of people's inane chatter.
I have a simple, flip phone that just talks, and probably won't fry my brain as some studies allege the new iPhones may be doing.

If you have any other Apple products you don't want, instead of destroying them, send it to me.
