Apple has announced a new iPod Touch. Other than a new chipset and a new storage variant, nothing else has changed on the hardware side. Nevertheless, there are some cool new software features too.
The new iPod Touch now comes with the A10 Fusion processor which powers the 2016 iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The SoC is paired with 32GB or 128GB of storage. Apple has also added a new 256GB variant. With the new A10 chips, the iPod Touch now supports AR games. Apple says it will also support Apple Arcade, its gaming service set to launch this fall.
The screen remains 4-inches in size with a 1136 x 640 resolution. There is an 8MP f/2.4 camera on the rear and a 1.2MP f/2.2 camera in front for FaceTime. The new iPod Touch allows you to FaceTime up to 32 people at once.
There is Bluetooth 4.1, dual-band Wi-Fi, and an audio jack. The device still charges via a lightning port and Apple claims its battery will last up to 40 hours for music playback and 8 hours for video playback.
The iPod Touch comes in Space Gray, Gold, Silver, Pink, Blue, and Red (Product RED). The 32GB version is priced at $199, the 128GB version will sell for £299, and the new 256GB version is priced at $399. It is already available for purchase on Apple’s online store.
