How much ram does the iPod touch 4g have

I am a bit confused.  I bought an iPod 4th gen late May 2013 (made about a year ago) and read that it won't be able to be updated to ios 7 because of the ram.  Since when are Apple products only supported for 1 year?!  It's bad enough that I got ripped off buying an iPod touch 2G advertised as a 3G 3 years ago (for which I got several updates).  Now I buy an iPod 4G this May only to find out a few months later that there will be no updates for it!  I am pretty sure what I have now is a 4th gen, but according to Apple's website, there isn't a 16GB 4th gen!  I can't find ram info about this particular model, only for the larger, earlier produced 4g.  My model number is ME179LL/A.  The only info I can find about this model is that it is only about 1 yr old (which is why I 'm a bit po'd about not getting an update).  My ipad is older and can still be updated, so I don't understand why my newer ipod can't!  And don't tell me to buy the newer ipod-I just bought this one and cannot afford to purchase another one (not even a refurbished 5th gen, which is still more expensive than the 4g new)!

It doesn't matter when it was designed, it was built 2012 and should be updated just like any other Apple product.  My ipad is much older and still getting updates!  If you buy a car made in 2012 that was designed in 2010, you still get service for a year.  Your response is not valid.  An Apple product manufactured less than a year ago should still be entitled to updates.  I won't be surprised if there are many people in my position that think this is more than unfair, but disgraceful.  I see more lawsuits in Apple's future if they do not provide an update for a recently manufactured product.  Maybe you can afford to just go out and purchase a new ipod every year.  I cannot and it should be illegal to sell a product that a company does not intend to support.  When I purchased my ipod, Apple was still selling them on their website.  To sell a product you know won't be supported in a few months is unethical!

  • How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    This is what I got on the info....
    IPhone’s RAM has been very little, even pitiful compared to other flagships. Now 1GB RAM is still the standard configuration for the current iPhone 5 / 5s and iPhone 6.
    Is Apple’s system optimization can really never need to increase the memory capacity? Obviously the answer is no. Recently, GSMArena published a sheet of iPhone 6 Plus detailed specifications, we can clearly see the “2GB RAM” in the memory list.
    GSMArena also posted the benchmark score for iPhone 6 yesterday, but we seen that A8 GPU not seem to improve a lot in the processing capability compared to A7 – only increased 4.65%.
    Apple usually not declare the detailed hardware parameters of their products, because those indicators not have too many advantages compared to other similar products, and even looks a bit shabby. But for Apple, these are not the most important, the company always focusing on the overall performance and user experience of the product. iPhone 6 Plus is the largest ever. Apple has said the iPhone 6 Plus screen reached 1080P in the event, as a larger screen means more resource consumption, and the processor needs to handle higher pixel image, so increasing RAM is the best choice to enhance stability and performance.
    So based on the above evidence and our speculate, iPhone 6 is indeed possible with 2GB RAM. If in doubt, all we could wait is finding out the truth after dismantling the device. Course this just may be a beginning, we also expect Apple can give more memory for the upcoming next-generation iPad and iPad Mini.

  • How much storage does the iPod Touch start with?

    I no this may sound like a stupid question but I no from preivous experience that when you buy an iPod you don't the full storage they say you get. e.g. my current iPod (Classic 80GB) only comes 74.2GB of storaage.
    *So my question is - how much storage does each iPod Touch model start out with?*
    For example, the 8GB model may only have 7GB to start out with.
    thanks in advance.
    Message was edited by: alangeorge

    You will find ALL storage devices act this way. Your computers hard drive is the same (actual storage of a gigabyte sized drive will be 0.93 times what the stated size is).
    An 8GB touch will be about 7.4GB.

  • How much RAM does the iPad OS take up

    If I buy an iPad, how much RAM is used by the OS, or how much RAM do I have to use?

    Are you actually asking about RAM, or do you actually mean "storage capacity"?
    Do you actually want to know how much free space a 16GB or 32GB iPad has "out-of-the-box"?

  • Does the iPod touch 4 have the same glass as the iPhone 4

    I was just wondering if the iPod touch 4th gen has the same tough rhino glass as the iPhone 4

    As far as I know, all iOS devises have a glass covered screen, with the exception of the iPhone 4 which has the back covered as well. The only diverice that I believe is that the glass on the iPhone may be thicker, but don't hold me to that.

  • How much money from the ipod touch 5 red goes to Africa?

    I got my ipod 2 days ago in red (ipod touch 5) and i was wondering how much actually gets donated to help fight AIDS in africa?

    Apple dos not say here:
    http://www.apple.com/product-red/
    However this site
    http://www.ifans.com/forums/threads/product-red-you-too-can-save-a-life.377497/
    says
    How much is that exactly? Upon further investigation (RED)’s website states that it costs $0.40 to provide one day's worth of medication. Factoring these numbers, Apple donates at least $8.40 from the purchase of each iPod Nano Product (RED) to the Global Fund to fight AIDS. While Apple may charge $129 for the base 8GB model, it costs Apple $43.73 to manufacture. Not taking into account transportation, packaging, or marketing costs, that’s $85.27 in Apple’s pocket for every iPod Nano sold. If you factor in (PRODUCT) RED campaign Apple only makes a profit of $76.87.

  • How much better is the iPod Touch 5 than iTouch 4?

  • How much RAM does the MacBook Pro have?

    I need at least 4GB RAM preferably 8GB RAM.... it is for school and i have many games and scrapbook tools for my electives.... please help.

    Are you planning on buying a MacBook Pro or do you already have one? Apple sells MBPs (non-Retina) with either 4GB or 8GB of RAM. The problem with buying RAM from Apple is that it's so expensive. If you ordered a 4GB machine, for instance, you could upgrade it yourself to 8GB or 16GB without voiding the warranty.
    So if you're buying - go with a 'base' 4GB model and buy the RAM and install it yourself.

  • How much power does the iPod output?

    I tried measuring the power output via the headphone jack, and the reading was so small my multimeter could barely measure it. It peaked at about half a volt, and thats with a very loud song with the music cranked up all the way. It averaged about .3. That seems REALLY low, maybe enough to power the cheap earbuds the iPod comes with, but not enough for more power demanding professional headphones or other non-powered audio devices. I called every number apple has to call, and it seems no one in the entire company knows anything about their own product when it comes to power output.
    Also, what is the power output for the serial port on the bottom of the iPod? I couldn't measure that with my multimeter without splicing some wire which I wasn't about to do.

    Nope, I don't mean the volume level. I mean the actual measurable ammount of electricity that the iPod is physically capable of outputing via the headphone Jack. I imagine the hard drive and screen ***** up most of it, so that the full potential cannot be tapped, because frankly the apple designers had no reason to give it any significant booster space.
    No, but having the volume at a max and and playing a variety of different types of music will give one a decent idea of the average power output, which is about a .3. Seems it did show me something, buddy. accurate min, max, and average power should not be that hard to caclculate.

  • Does the iPod Touch 5G have a cell antenna or a GPS in it? It seems to know where I am...

    I have the new iPod Touch 5th Gen, and I noticed some interesting behavior this morning, and I'm curious as to the explanation.
    I needed to ship a package this morning, so I asked Siri where some local UPS drop off spots were. She gave me one right down the street, and I clicked on the map to see where it was. So it loaded the map while I was still on Wifi at home. After leaving home, I drove to where the map had indicated, but there was no UPS dropoff point (Apple Map fail! Heh). But out of curiousity, I was wondering if I'd just remembered wrong, so I was thinking that if the map app were still open, I could see what road it had thought this UPS dropoff was on.
    When I opened the Map App, it showed the pin, and oddly enough, showed my blue location dot right next to it. I was not on any wifi. I thought that was curious, and I continued to drive. The blue dot followed me (with a very small circle around it, which, to me, indicates it doesn't know my EXACT location, but it was right on). As I continued to drive, the blue dot followed me and was very accurate, knowing which road I was on, and where on the road I was. I drove about a mile away, and it followed the whole way, until I eventually reached a point where the maps had not loaded, so there was no map data, but the blue dot continued to follow me.
    Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have any explanation for this? How would my iPod know where I was? I only know of three methods - 1) GPS location, 2) Cell tower triangulation, and 3) WiFi Location estimation. I know it wasn't WiFi, so I'm scratching my head over how this is possible unless the Touch has a functioning Cell Antenna in it that it's using for triangulation?

    Right, which is still where I'm kind of confused, but is it possible that although the iPod isn't connecting to the wifi network, the location information is still being passed through to the iPod via the WiFi network? So although it isn't allowing you ON the network, it's still acting as a location server and allowing that location data to be transferred? I have a hard time believing that, as then you'd potentially be getting location requests from every person that drives by.
    Not only that, but I wasn't exactly driving 10 MPH... I was going by these houses at about 35 MPH, so it's a little hard to understand how that location information could be consistently getting to my iPod even though I'm only in 'range' of any given WiFi network for about 3 seconds.
    EDIT: It also knew where I was when I was behind a grocery store, not anywhere near ANY kind of neighborhood or connectable WiFi.

  • Does the iPod Touch 4 have a flash?

    Looking for a refurb iPod Touch 4th gen for my 4-1/2 year old—but has to have a flash when taking a picture. Essentially I need to keep him off my iPhone 5—and my older 3G iPhone doesn't cut it for him.
    The Apple iPod Touch 4th gen spec copy states something like...."tap to control exposure"—does this mean a "flash" is triggered via tap control? I am asking for clarification because the 5th gen states "LED flash", thus confused between the two copy points.
    If not, are there any external add ons to simulate this?
    Side: Without a camera  "flash" it makes no sense for me to get this. And the 5th gen is far too expensive for a kid this age—even with all the crazy hard core bumpers out there.

    The 4G does not have a flash. The box just let you select what area the the iPod will use for exposure.
