Q: Will my iPod touch 6 ever be able to do Live Photos and 3D Touch?

I just bought the newest iPod touch and I'm disappointed that it doesn't have 3D Touch or many other things the latest iPhone has. When will my iPod (the latest model) have 3D Touch and Live Photos

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6

No, the hardware in the 6G does not support those features.

    Hi,

     

    No, it is unlikely Apple will add these features to the iPod touch.

     

    Hope this helps!

    As already said, the 6G iPod touch does not have the necessary hardware.

    Maybe the 7G iPod touch will.

    The 6th gen iPod Touch has much more features in common with the iPhone 6 than the previous 5th gen iPod Touch it replaces.

    The 6th gen iPod Touch is much closer in specs and features of the current iPhone 6 lineup than ANY other past iPod Touch models.

    This is why I immiediately purchased my 64 GB iPod Touch back when it was intriduced back last July 2015.

    This new iPod Touch is as close to an iPhone 6 without the phone and at half the price!

    Its has the same speed central processor, graphics chip and RAM as the iPhone 6

    A first for the IPod Touch 6th is its improved 8MP rear camera that gets a LED flash for the camera lens.

    The rear camera will do panarama images  and burst images, shoot video in slo-mo mode and time lapse video.

    Also, the cameras have built-in image stabilisation.

    The iPod Touch 6th gets quite a few of iOS 9's feature set.

    The Apple Wallet and health apps.

    If you wanna see what you are really getting in your new iPod Touch 6th gen check out these links

    Enjoy your new iPod Touch!!!

    I really enjoy using mine!

     

    Good Luck!

    I would, also like to note that while you can't use the Apple Watch with nothing but an iPhone, every iDevice made (with the exception of the iPad 2 due to much older Bluetooth technology) will work with Pebble Smart watch brands.

    Pebble is introducing its new Pebble Time 2 watch lineup to directly compete with the Apple Watch with bulit in sensors for blood pressur, pulse and heart rate monitors

    I use my Pebble Time smartwatch with both my iPod Touch 6th generation and my large iPad Pro.

    Something that Apple doesn't allow with the Apple watch.

    The ability to use the Apple Watch across all of their current iDevice lineup.

     

    Just an FYI if you ever want to try a smart watch.
