Multi-Touch screen
The Multi-Touch screen displays a wealth of info, entertainment, and creativity, all at your
ngertips. A few simple gestures—tap, drag, swipe, and pinch—are all you need to explore
and use iPod touch apps.
Buttons
Most of the buttons you use with iPod touch are virtual ones on the touchscreen. A few physical
buttons control basic functions, such as turning on iPod touch or adjusting the volume.
Sleep/Wake button
When you’re not using iPod touch, press the Sleep/Wake button to lock iPod touch. Locking

if you touch the screen. You can still listen to music and adjust the volume using the buttons
on the side of iPod touch, and receive FaceTime calls, text messages, alarms, notications, and
other updates.
