After seemingly letting the iPod Touch brand remain dormant since 2015, Apple has unveiled a new model.
The latest iteration of the iPod Touch will feature the A10 Fusion processor and will come in three configurations: 32 GB of storage for $199, 128 GB of storage for $299, and 256 GB of storage for $399. This is a new storage option for the iPod Touch, and it should net anyone looking to adopt one for the first time a great incentive to pick one up.
"We're making the most affordable iOS device even better with performance that is twice as fast as before, Group FaceTime and augmented reality starting at just $199," said Greg Joswiak, vice president of product marketing at Apple. "The ultra-thin and lightweight design of iPod Touch has always made it ideal for enjoying games, music and so much more wherever you go."
The new iPod Touch will be just 3.10 ounces and measure 4.86 inches long by 2.31 inches wide at just 0.24 inches thick. It will also come packing a four-inch Retina multitouch IPS display with a resolution of 1136 x 640 pixels with a pixel density of 326ppi. Its screen will feature a contrast ratio of 800:1 and 500cd/m squared maximum brightness.
But what about the other side of the device? There's an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with auto image stabilization, HDR support, and more. Then on the other side for selfish you get a 1.2-megapixel FaceTime HD camera with auto HDR for photos and 720p HD video. In terms of connectivity, you get Bluetooth and Wi-Fi of course, and this model does come rocking the 3.5 mm headphone jack with a Lightning cable. It's supposed to get up to 40 hours of music playback and 8 hours of video.
If you've been thinking about jumping on the iPod Touch train, this is the time to do it, especially if you've been waiting for an upgraded, cheaper version as your starting point.
