difference between 6th and 7th generation

That said, we realized that we hadn’t really missed the headphone jack as much as we thought we would. Reunited with the 3.5mm headphone jack, we’re reminded of how convenient it is to use if you have regular wired headphones to hand – which you will do, as the iPod touch comes with a pair of Apple’s infamous EarPods, as well as a Lightning cable for charging.
