The iPod touch 5th generation occupies a unique space in Apple’s history. Released in 2012, it shipped with iOS 6—the last version of iOS to feature the famous “Skeuomorphic” design (realistic textures, leather stitching, and the iconic glossy icons). Over the years, Apple updated it to iOS 8.4.1, then eventually left it behind.
The iPod Touch 5th Generation, released in late 2012, shipped with iOS 6.0.
