Completely agree. I have an perfectly working old one, but can't install anything on it as everything requires IOS7 - even if they 'did' have an IOS6 version available. I now refuse to buy Apple because of this.

I'm assuming an iPod would have better audio hardware than an iPhone for sound quality? or do they use the same chips etc?

get for a the cat as a music play. still use a hdd pod for car 10 years old and bomb proof

The iPhone 5s is second hand. The iPod is new.

It depends what you are buying it for I guess. For me I would prefer my kids to have a new iPod with a fresh battery and without the functionality of a phone.

This is a hot deal!

Still love my iPod Touch, use it everyday as a music player and my only iOs device.

16GB . . . £100+ are you lot insane?

thanks, the larger more useful sizes are also reduced the 32gb is down to £186.10 after the £20 off code.

I've been using my 5th gen for years, mainly for iplayer radio and audiobooks and it's still going strong, great bit of kit, slim and light.

I bought an iPhone SE today and it seems massively clunky in comparison.

My daughter loves hers. Didn't want her to have full blown phone but she can still snap chat and I message on it.
It will be supported for few years yet I'm sure.

I don't think they're bringing out any more iPods after this,your better off getting a phone.these are becoming dated.

Really! 16GB you can get a proper phone with more storage. http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5991190?store=183&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59158|cid:598893978|agid:24310579490|tid:pla-297895826525|crid:86864920730|nw:g|rnd:13429706921204498561|dvc:c|adp:1o1&gclid=Cj0KEQjwxbDIBRCL99Wls-nLicoBEiQAWroh6nowSLwHNmRkPYob__VFXi4OoBiiA1U_Lu8u5GZYX2QaAt0g8P8HAQ
Expandable memory etc. If you are fixated on Apple fine ( iam not voting hot or cold) but really!

Ipod touch really is a bit of a classic, and I'd buy a couple for the kids if only Apple didn't keep abandoning their older products. With 6th gen coming up to 2 years old this summer you'll be lucky to get 12 months use out of this before updates (or lack of) take their toll.

Having said that, it is cheap!

You can buy 5s same price.

Thanks for posting, paid £124.10 and free delivery. No click and collect on this item. FYI it's £139 refurbed from Apple.
