What is the plural of "iPod touch?"

Hello Henry,

It would seem that the usual accepted standard is "iPod touches," but several may disagree.

If you do a simple Google search of your question, you will receive several results of sites where the same question was asked. The usual response was "iPod touches."

B-rock

I believe the correct term would be ipod touchi.

you have too much time on your hands

I would go with iPod Touches. The singular unit is an iPod Touch, plural would be iPod Touches.

We have two Apple iMacs, not two Apples iMac.

🙂

In this Apple Support document, Apple themselves refer to "iPod touches":

+" Important: Removing all your MobileMe Sync Data will remove the data from MobileMe Calendar, MobileMe Contacts, and from any iPhones or iPod touches you are synchronizing via MobileMe over-the-air syncing."+

I would probably refer to them as 'touch model iPods'.
I just don't like the sound if 'iPod touches'.

But that's because the term is really "general attorney"; the form "attorney general", with the descriptor after the noun, is uncommon but still used. So the plural is for "attorney", hence "attorneys general" is correct, albeit archaic. It's not "iMac Apple" nor "touch iPod", so the plural form "iPods touch" would not be grammatically correct. "iPod touches" would be the most correct plural form.

End of lesson. 😉

Very true. I'd still go with iPod Touches, Apple iMacs, Ford vehicles, BMW X5s, Chevy trucks and so on and so on. 🙂

Then there's the possibility that you can refer to the singular rather than the plural.

How about "iPod touch devices" ?

"Lucky"

well I know I'm late,but in my opinion touch isn't the word that must become plural just like attorney general, general doesn't become generals. And since I don't like seeing "Ipods touch" either, I think that speaking about Ipod touch can refer to all the ipods touch. Maybe changing the structure of the sentence can help you use the singular form
But I loved the question nonetheless
cheers
