iPod 5th vs. iPod 5.5 - the only way to know the difference 

You are right sir. I just could not find one as an example, but I’m sure they exist. I cannot believe you are commenting on my video, what an honor!

Great! Most people don’t know what they have. You took a chance and won, that was a good buy.

How cheap?!

@@moneyymanetv buy them from a chinese refurbisher... I did and it was less than 60 dollars (5.5) and when I opened it up I saw some quality control stickers on one of the cables and the screen inside. Yes, they put a new screen in the one I bought in 2023. It came only with light scratches on the body which I fully replaced anyway

The Search feature, a brighter screen and a slightly better DAC are the only differences I am aware of. The 5.5 is supposed to have a better sound than the 5th generation.

@ourfamilyadventure326 naw both have the same dac, they both sound the same. its mainly search feature and brighter screen. 5th gen 60gb and 5.5th gen 80gb models also have 64mb of ram while 30gb of both models have 32mb ram(doesn't make much difference except if you have ridiculous amount of songs(like 12k+ songs) 64mb ram will run better.

I appreciate your more in depth explanation. I have always read that the 5.5 sounds slightly better than the 5, although they run neck and neck the 5.5 just barely squeezes past the 5th generation. That is just what I have read though.

@@ourfamilyadventure326 they have almost identical architectures overall and the same amplification as well as identical DACs.

Sounds like a great price for that!

It’s not the best input method for sure. I think Apple just added it as a “feature” just because they could. The main thing with the Search feature is that it is the only way to prove you have the 5.5 instead of just the 5th generation.

@@ourfamilyadventure326 ah, almost forgot, the solitaire game also terrible😅 why apple still put that game in their products that only have scroll wheel, but remove it when "touch" ipod comes out

I mean, search function is not a big deal, sellers do not set that feature in the main menu maybe because they don't use that Go for 5, or 5.5 if someone sells it cheaper🤭

I like the Solitaire game as a concept and am able to play that a lot better than that Parachute game! Now Parachute SHOULD NOT have been on the iPod at all 🫤

I think that the sellers maybe don’t even know the difference. That one thing will get them more money… if they know about it 😊

I disagree, fite me

Thanks! I will fix that.
