It even has the iPhone 6's A8 chip, albeit running a tad slower (http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/15/apple-shows-ipod-touch-some-love-with-a8-processors-camera-upgrades-and-new-colors/#.8dlfyi:8ckz). The iFixit (https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPod+Touch+6th+Generation+Teardown/44378) team has taken the 4-inch device apart to view its guts and see whether Joe Shmoe could fix it with the right tools. Its findings? The Touch has a pretty nice camera for a music player, but lacks the iPhone's image stabilization and has a slightly slower f/2.4 iris. It's also missing the pricier sibling's touch sensor, but otherwise shares a surprising number of parts. And if it breaks? Unless you're prepared to heat, tweeze and pry, you'd best leave the fixing to Apple.
