New iPod Touch Released with Color Options, Better Hardware
The iPod Touch line has finally been refreshed today which brings new color options gold, and upgraded hardware. On Apple’s website, the headline for the new sixth-generation iPod reads, “the best iPod touch yet.” The new iPod includes an A8 processor, an 8-megapixel iSight camera, making it nearly on-par with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Alongside the A8, this is the first iPod to include a motion coprocessor. In this case, the M8 motion coprocessor. The new camera is capable of shooting 1080p video at 60fps, or 720p slo-mo video at 240fps. Unfortunately design wise the iPods remain the same, meaning the new iPod touch still has a 4-inch retina display. The new iPod Touch also ships with iOS 8.4 and has access to Apple Music.
As shown above, the new iPod touch comes in 4 storage capacities: 16GB/32/64/128, all at $199, $249, $299 and $399 respectively. This makes the 32GB model relatively cheap, making the upgrade only $50. It’s also the first iPod touch available in a 128GB storage capacity.
The iPod nano and iPod shuffle also gets minor cosmetic changes. Coming in blue, pink and gold. The full iPod lineup now is available in six colors: space gray, silver, gold, pink, blue and product red.
