Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Responsive 64 bit A8 processor.
Much more than an MP3 player, the sixth-gen Touch is really a powerful pocket iPad, offering speedy access to apps, games and the web while you rock out to your treasured tunes.
- T3
Excellent app selection.
- PC Mag
If you will be traveling somewhere without Wi-Fi, don't worry - you can easily add songs from your iTunes library or other MP3s too.
The sheer power increase brought upon by the presence of the A8 SoC is instantly noticeable, but it’s the RAM increase that is perhaps the biggest win for the 6th generation effort.

What reviewers didn't like

Expensive compared to competitors. A few reports of faulty players that fail to charge/power on after a few months of use.
Pathetic built-in speaker.
- T3
Not an audiophile music player.
- PC Mag
Lightning port is a reset
The camera doesn’t feature all of the advanced features of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, so it’s still not quite up to that level yet, but it’s unquestionably better than the 5-megapixel shooter it replaces.
