Will iPod touch ever have the same specs as an iPhone?

I prefer Android for a phone but I have an iPod touch 4th gen as a bedside music player/alarm clock/game player docked in a radio/speaker dock, but I realized after buying it that it didn't have the same processor or screen as the iPhone 4, so looked kind of crappy and didn't run a lot of games or apps well that I wanted to use that did run well on an iPhone 4.
Now that I'm thinking of upgrading to a modern iPod touch (5th gen? iOS 7, not sure what the processor is) but I'm afraid I'll be in the same situation since app developers are programming for the iPhone 6 now. Also I want to have 128GB so I can put all of my music uncompressed on it, but I feel that's a pipe dream since the current one only goes up to 64GB. I really would pay more to have a touch that's basically an iPhone without the phone/data part.
Is it worth upgrading? I would have to get rid of my dock and buy a new one with a lightning plug. I'm really afraid Apple will discontinue the iPod touch like they did the Classic and if I want to play iPhone games and have a nice radio dock I'll just have to buy an iPhone (since Android docks don't support controlling the device with the dock buttons like iOS does).

Hey Dhinged, If you want solid facts, can not answer your question, only Apple knows. If you don't mind speculations try Goggle. For part two, don't buy phone or data plan, no SIMS card activation, no phone functions. But with the iPhone having a history of being roughly twice the cost of an iPod-- that's one expensive iPod. Part of what keeps the cost of an iPhone down is the phone contract, the full cost of the phone is part of the contract, if you opt out of a contract then you will have buy the whole phone at full cost. I would look at purchasing an iPad or wait and see if there is anything solid about the iPod 6 in October. Hope this helps, Cheers.

  • How do I get a new iPod Touch to have the same music setup as my old one?

    I have all the songs on my ipod touch in my itunes library, but there are also a lot of other songs I don't want, so I can't just sync the new ipod. I could drag them all individually but that would take hours.
    I was thinking I could get an ipod-to-itunes music program, and then just do my whole ipod, then transfer all of those songs to my new ipod, then delete the songs I had imported to itunes. But that's expensive.

    The post by Zevoneer will offer some suggestions on how to do this:

  • 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.

  • I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Is the iPod Touch in 2010 the same as the 2011 version?

    Is the iPod Touch in 2010 the same as the 2011 version? I've heard from people that it has a better camera.
    Can anyone clear this up for me?

  • When i scan my ipod from the application named find my ipod touch 4 it simply shows location unavailable while that of my cousin's ipod touch exactly shows the same location..... Why does that happen???

    When i scan my ipod from the application named find my ipod touch 4 it simply shows location unavailable while that of my cousin's ipod touch exactly shows the same location..... Why does that happen???

    When you go to the Google Maps app on the iPod does it correctly find your location? The iPod's locations service uses the location of the a nearby wifi router to locate te iPod.  However, not all routers are in Apple's database and as of yet nobody here knows of a way to add routers to the database.

  • I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

    Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
    The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
    Any guidance? Thanks.

    The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

  • I have the same problem in my iphone. i can receive call and talk and listen too otherwise no sound at all like ringer tone , on-off click soung , video-music soung , game sound.

    i have the same problem in my iphone. i can receive call and talk and listen too otherwise no sound at all like ringer tone , on-off click soung , video-music song , game sound.
    i have tried to clean the audio jack too but result is the same. Can any body help me please.

    No external sound or not sound at all - external or when using the earbuds?
    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, Restore.
    i had it once before, restored the iPhone and it was solved, but i don't want to restore my iPhone every day.
    Does this happen every day? If not, when was the last time this happened?
    If you have sound when using the earbuds, another thing to try is insert the earbuds and start playing a song - making sure the sound can be heard with the earbuds. Without pausing the song, remove the earbuds.
    If no sound is available with the speaker and a the troubleshooting steps do not resolve it or one of the steps does resolve it but the same occurs again, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • My daughter got an ipad, I now have her ipod. Both have the same username and password so when I sinc the ipod on my computer it downloads all of her games/music. Is there a way to delete everything and start over so that I can have only my apps/music?

    My daughter got an ipad so I took her ipod. The problem is both of them have the same user id and password so when I sinc the ipod to itunes, it downloads all of her apps/music that I don't want to the ipod. Is there a way to wipe out everything on the ipod and change the username/password (I guess) so that when I sinc it, it doesnt download her stuff?  Also, there are a few songs that I have purchased through iTunes that I would like to keep, can I do this or will I have to re-purchase the music again?

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

  • Is there anyway i can find who stole my ipod touch i have the serial number but i did not have the find my iphone app

    is there anyway i can track my ipod touch with just the serial number because someone stole it but i did not have the find  my iphone app

    You can only track it if you turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My before it was lost/stolen, and then registered it in iCloud's Find My Phone service.  You must then log in to iCloud, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.  If it is turned off, not connected to the internet or been reset to factory condiditon it will not show up.  There is no way to track it except in that way.
    Report it to the police, insurance and cell provider in case the will blacklist the iPhone so it cannot be used.
    Change your passwords for accounts on the iPhone.

  • Will the Ipod Touch 4 have the A4 processor in the 8gb model?

    Does anyone know?

    Dear poster: please carefully read the pages that apple provided on their website....according to the 8GB model will offer the same features as of the expensive counterparts. So that answers your question, yes the lower memory ipod touch(8GB offers camera, A4 and the restina) just as the $299 or $399 models. Apple seem to changed things a bit from last year that only the 32GB or 64GB models of the third generation offered the hardware upgrades borrowed from the IPhone 3GS.

  • My iPad 2 picks up very weak wifi signal, but my iPod touch 5 in the same spot picks up super strong signal. What can I do to change this?

    I have an iPad 2 and am iPod touch 5. Yesterday, my iPad all of the sudden did not want to pick up ANY signal at all in my house. It's like it completely give up on wifi, while my iPod and my laptop works just fine in the same spot. (I have an upstairs bedroom, while the router is downstairs in the kitchen).
    So I have been trying yesterday to get it to work so what I have done is completely wipe the memory clean after I backed it up on iTunes. After resetting it, I restored it. Still nothing. So I tried to take my iPad down nearer to the wifi router, and OMG it picked up the wifi signal! WHUT?!? It didn't yesterday though...
    But now whenever I am up in my bedroom, my iPad would not pick up the wifi at all, or if it did, the wifi would be super duper weak! But two days ago, it was PERFECTLY okay! My iPod and laptop that is sitting right next to the iPad up in my bedroom pick up the signal completely fine.
    Can someone help me? What should I do? Is it problems with my iPad or would it be my router that is the problem?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Will iPod touch 5 have battery percentage for iOS 8?

    Was wondering if iOS 8 will be included for iPod touch 5g. Will it have battery percentage??

    The people who know can't says since you can't discuss iOS 8 in this public forum.
    You can "install" battery % now but it is not accurate. It is the same way it is done natively on an iPhone and iPad.
