Another nod to the past is worth mentioning: the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can carry on using your existing wired headphones if you want to. The tech might be old, but the Apple build quality and polish is still in evidence here – it's still an aesthetically appealing device, especially with those different colour choices. Apps feel squashed and too small, but on the plus side it's the perfect size for runners to wear strapped to an arm. Even with the relatively thick bezels, it's a small device that you'll barely notice in a pocket, and which is easily operated with one hand. Talking about out-dated tech, the 4-inch screen feels tiny by modern standards. There's no Touch ID here though, or Face ID, so it's passcodes every time – something which feels painfully old-fashioned.

Setting up iOS is a breeze these days, with or without iTunes, and if you've already got an iPhone up and running then the iPod Touch can automatically grab your Apple login details and settings from it.
