It’s pretty rare to get physical versions of things that can be delivered digitally these days. Just like more people stream music than buy CDs and more people download software than get it on disc, there aren’t many printed user manuals for consumer electronics. Instead, companies offer downloadable PDFs. That’s the case with Apple’s iPod Touch user guides. The iPod Touch only comes with a few slight pages of documentation. Apple offers iPod Touch manuals at its website for every compatible version of the iOS, as well as some other information. So, whatever model of touch and version of the OS you have, you’ll find the right manual below.
