The seventh-generation iPod Touch (stylized and marketed as the iPod touch, and colloquially known as the iPod touch 7G, iPod touch 7, or iPod touch (2019)) is a multipurpose handheld device designed and marketed by Apple Inc. with a touchscreen-based user interface. It is the successor to the iPod Touch (6th generation), becoming the first major update to the iPod touch since 2015. It was released on the online Apple Store on May 28, 2019.

Software

Main articles: iOS 12, iOS 13, and iOS 14
Further information: iOS version history

The seventh-generation iPod touch features iOS, Apple's mobile operating system. The user interface of iOS is based on the concept of direct manipulation, using multi-touch gestures. Interface control elements consist of sliders, switches, and buttons. Interaction with the OS includes gestures such as swipe, tap, pinch, and reverse pinch, all of which have specific definitions within the context of the iOS operating system and its Multi-Touch interface. Internal accelerometers are used by some applications to respond to shaking the device (one common result is the undo command) or rotating it vertically (one common result is switching from portrait to landscape mode).

The seventh-generation iPod touch was introduced on May 28, 2019 running the iOS version 12.3. It can play music, movies, television shows, audiobooks, and podcasts and can sort its media library by songs, artists, albums, videos, playlists, genres, composers, podcasts, audiobooks, and compilations. Scrolling is achieved by swiping a finger across the screen. Alternatively, headset controls can be used to pause, play, skip, and repeat tracks. However, the EarPods that come with the seventh-generation iPod touch do not include a remote or microphone. The Voice Control feature can also be used to identify a track, play songs in a playlist or by a specific artist, or create a Genius playlist.

The Apple A10 system-on-chip in the seventh-generation iPod touch enables more advanced features than its predecessors. This includes ARKit applications, and the Group FaceTime functionality.[5]

Hardware

The seventh-generation iPod touch features the Apple A10 processor and M10 motion coprocessor.[4] This is the same processor used in the Apple iPhone 7 and the Apple iPad (2018). However, it is underclocked to 1.64 GHz from 2.34 GHz, making the iPod Touch weaker than the other devices with the same chip. The seventh-generation iPod touch features the same front and rear camera systems as the sixth-generation device. This includes an 8MP rear-facing camera, capable of recording video in 1080p resolution 30fps, and slow-motion video in 720p at 120 fps. The camera also supports different photo features, such as burst photos, HDR photos, and panoramic photos. The front-facing camera is a FaceTime HD camera capable of taking photos at 1.2 MP, and recording video in 720p at 30 fps. This camera also features auto HDR for video recordings, and burst photo capabilities.[4] This device is the first iPod touch to come in a 256 GB storage option—the highest capacity ever offered on an iPod, surpassing the 160 GB capacity of the sixth-generation iPod Classic, which was discontinued in 2014.
