Apple launches colourful new iPod touch 16GB
Apple has launched a new version of its bottom-of-the-range iPod touch, adding
a rear-facing camera and the pallette of five colours from the more
expensive models
Apple has quietly updated its cheapest iPod touch device, the 16GB model,
which now comes in a range of five colours like its more expensive versions.
Previously it was only available in grey.
The device retains the four inch “retina” screen and A5 processor of the
previous 16GB version, which was a throwback to the previous generation of
iPod touch, but adds a five megapixel iSight camera to the existing FaceTime
HD camera.
Apple has launched the new version in the US, but it is not yet available to
buy in the UK. Instead, the UK Apple Store website shows the old model as "currently
unavailable".
The new version costs $199 in the US, down from the previous model's $229
price tag.
The update comes as two different iPhones - with 4.7in and 5.5in screens - are rumoured
to have gone into production. The current iPhone 5s sports a 4in
display.
