There are three different iPod touch 5th Gen lines - the original 32 GB and 64 GB configurations released in 2012, the "low end" 16 GB configuration introduced in 2013, and the final entry-level 16 GB configuration introduced in 2014.
Apple is officially discontinuing the iPod touch. On May 10, 2022, Apple announced that " iPod touch will be available while supplies last ". Right now, the iPod touch is completely sold out in the US Apple Online Store. The current seventh-generation iPod touch was introduced in 2019, available in six different colors: Space Gray, Silver, Pink, Blue, Gold, and Red. Customers could choose between versions with 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB of internal storage. Although the iPod touch webpage is still available, the product is now labeled as “sold out.”
If suddenly Spotify stops working on your iPod Touch, check your iPod Touch iOS version (You can find this by going to Settings > General > About. ) and Spotify requirements.
