the sixth-generation ipod touch features the apple a8 and apple m8 motion co-processor chipset with 64-bit architecture which is the same chip on ipad mini 4, apple tv 4th gen, iphone 6 and the homepod but it is slightly underclocked at 1.1 ghz (the iphone 6 and 6 plus are clocked at 1.4 ghz while the ipad mini 4 was clocked at 1.5 ghz) due to its small battery. it has 1gb of lpddr3 ram, twice the amount as the previous generation ipod touch. apple's metal graphics technology is also compatible with the ipod touch 6th generation. the ipod touch features an 8mp rear isight camera with video which can record in 1080p at 30fps, or 120fps in slow-motion mode that records at 720p. the camera also supports a burst mode and has an led flash. unlike the 5th-generation version, the rear camera on the 6th-generation ipod touch lacks a sapphire crystal lens. the front camera is unchanged from the previous generation, a 1.2mp sensor and can record video up to 720p. it is the first ipod touch that is available with 128 gb of storage, partially filling the void left behind by the ipod classic which offered 160 gb of storage at the time it was discontinued.
