“The Apple iPod Touch (7th generation) is still fantastic for gaming and listening to music, with Apple's A10 Fusion chip making its AR experience better than ever, too.”

The iPod touch offers solid build quality and snappy performance but suffers from an outdated design and mediocre camera. It is not a compelling upgrade for most users, though it may appeal to a niche audience valuing the headphone jack.

Acclaimed 7/10
