iOS 8 on iPod Touch 5.

[iDivergent]

I've had the ios 8 betas and the GM on my iPod touch and I can say it runs ios 8 well. I can't get the battery life I use to cause my battery is almost 2 years old and has gone though alot of usage but its still pretty good.

You can make your device also faster by wiping cache in your application u use the most like delete readed iMessages, and you're iMessage will be faster.
Anyway the speed of the iOS 8 is the same like iOS 7 people

I'm running 8.1 on my 5th Gen with animations e.t.c. turned on and it runs the same as my 4S that's got animations turned e.t.c. turned on.

My 5th Gen is the 16GB 2014 refresh in Space Grey.

My iPod Touch runs like garbage with iOS 8. I reduced motion, put on contrast, and even reset the whole iPod and it still run like trash. Music app is super slow and laggy. Smh. C'mon Apple.

I think my iPod touch runs well on iOS 8.1.2 overall. The only negative I can see is that the battery life isn't as good as it was before. Battery was definitely better on iOS 7.

Has anybody tried iOS 8.2 yet?

I updated to 8.2 yesterday and all is fine. I'm not noticing inordinate battery drainage or anything.

Should I upgrade if I have 7.1.2? And why or why not?

Again, I do think battery life is better on 7, but 8 hasn't been giving me any big issues. To be honest, I think the biggest advantage of iOS 8 (at least for me) is that you can do the swipe thing when you text. If that's not a big deal to you, though, you might want to stick with 7.1.2.

Is pretty good but not as good as the newer devices.

You should check the battery first. If the battery is good, you should upgrade to iOS 8.2

Just upgraded to 8.3 and it runs fine on my ipod. It is more smoother than 8.2.

This is something that I have been curious about an dpondering, whether or not to update.

Hi everyone, wow it's been a year and it's that time again.. so how about iOS9 now? Anybody upgraded their ipod touch 5? How is it running? Slow or okay? Too soon for asking about battery life but still what are the first impressions?? And overall is it performing okay or we should keep our ipod s on iOS 8?

I've upgraded mine to ios9 and to be honest it's much worse, there's hardly anything new for the iPod 5 like notes sketch, low power mode, Siri suggestions and I've noticed its a lot slower and laggier. Just stick with ios8 for the moment

I am keeping my 8.3 jailbreak on iTouch 5 since there's nothing new for it in iOS 9 as far as others have reported.

 

[akshaypn]

Okay, I am gonna keep it on 8.4 then.
