One one hand, the tapered edges contribute to a super-slim design that make the iPod Touch feel downright futuristic. Rather than converting to the squared-off, slab-side design of the iPhone 4, this year’ iPod Touch sticks with the rounded edges of its predecessor, and measures only 0.28 inches thick. DesignĪs with features, the design of Apple’s iPod Touch has traditionally followed close behind the boot tracks of the iPhone, but the latest model actually puts a bigger gap between forerunner and follower. The iPod Touch comes in four capacities: 8GB, 16GB and 64GB, priced at $229, $299 and $399, respectively.
It also lacks a GPS chip, the rear-facing camera shoots a scant 0.7 megapixels instead of 5.0 megapixels, and, the screen, though identical in resolution, is not an IPS display, which has some minor consequences for viewing angles.
Most notably, of course, it relies on 802.11n Wi-Fi for connectivity rather than AT&T 3G. Like the iPhone 4, the fourth-generation iPod Touch gets a 3.5-inch Retina display, a forward-facing camera for videoconferencing, a rear camera that shoots 720p HD video, and it runs iOS on a hotrod A4 processor - all upgrades from the version available last year.Īpple iPhone SE 3 release postponed to 2024 with rumor of a iPhone SE Plus modelĪpple’s iPhone 13 and iPad Mini are facing more display and touch problemsĪpple AirPods 3 to launch alongside iPhone 13 at ‘California Streaming’ eventīut a handful of spec omissions continue to separate the $229 (for a 8GB model) player from the $599 phone. And the latest additions follow the same formula.
Since the birth of the iPod Touch in 2007, Apple has essentially pitched the device as an iPhone Lite - a touch screen computer without all the messy contracts of a telecom device. Despite the added competition, the latest revision of the device stays true to its award-winning heritage while folding in even more trickle-down features from the latest iPhone, yet again securing it a place at the top of the MP3-player pyramid. Three years after Apple stretched the definition of “personal media player” to new heights with its class-leading iPod Touch, other manufacturers are just starting to catch up with Android-powered mini tablets.
