announced on july 19, 2004, the fourth-generation ipod replaced the touch wheel from the third-generation ipod with the click wheel from the ipod mini, putting the four auxiliary buttons underneath a touch-sensitive scroll wheel. the casing was also slightly slimmer. pricing was reduced and the lineup was simplified, as the 20gb model was sold for us$299 and the 40gb model for us$399. notably, apple began reducing pack-in accessories starting with the fourth generation. while a dock, carrying case, and wired remote were previously included with higher-end ipods, the higher-level 40gb ipod only came with a dock, earphones and an interchangeable proprietary cable capable of usb and firewire interface. in addition to using the ipod mini's click wheel, the fourth-generation ipod used the more energy-efficient components of the mini, allowing the fourth-generation ipod to over 12 hours of battery life while using the same battery as its predecessor.

the fifth-generation ipod touch's finish features an aluminum unibody, which is made from the same kind of anodized aluminium used in the macbook line. with a new isight camera and led flash, the ipod touch includes a new feature known as the "ipod touch loop". at the bottom left corner of the back of the ipod touch, there is a button which can be pressed to allow a wrist strap to attach to the ipod touch. other changes to the ipod touch include the addition of colors. it is available in five: space grey (replacing the slate color variant as of september 2013), silver, pink, yellow, blue and (product) red. the space grey (or slate) version comes with a black front while the rest of the color variants of the ipod come with a white front.
