Ondrej Holzman How wrong we were when we they thought, that iPods are definitely leaving the scene. Apple prepared an unusually big surprise for July when it presented a brand new iPod touch as well as iPod shuffle and nano in new colors.
While for the iPod shuffle and nano, in addition to the current silver, black and red colors, dark blue, pink and gold were added to the menu, the iPod touch underwent a fundamental change compared to the previous fifth generation, especially in terms of the insides.
The last time the new iPod touch was introduced was in October 2012. Back then, it was equipped with an A5 processor and a 5-megapixel camera, which matched the iPhone 4 and 4S. After three years, Apple has now decided to make a significant leap for the iPod touch and compare its equipment with the latest iPhone 6. Therefore, it got a 64-bit A8 chip, an M8 motion coprocessor and a rear 8-megapixel camera.
Such an iPod touch it costs 16 crowns in the 6GB version. Other variants are 32 GB for 8 crowns, 090 GB for 64 crowns, and a 9GB model is also available for 690 crowns. The sixth generation iPod touch also has one external change, when it lost the special hook on the back, to which the so-called "loop" was attached.
iPod nano and shuffle remained the same as before, only now they also have gold, pink and blue variants. iPod nano with 16GB capacity it costs 5 crowns. The iPod shuffle still only has 2GB capacity and it costs 1 crowns.
So it looks like the smaller iPod nano and shuffle got new colors, not to mention that nothing happened to them besides the big update for the iPod touch. John Gruber you are noticed, that the user interface of the new iPod nano is even still in the style of iOS 6, which is said to be caused by the fact that the entire iPod software team moved to the Apple Watch and there was no one to redesign it.
On the other hand, the revision of the iPod touch is really unexpected, because many thought that iPods were definitely over. After three years, however, the iPod touch is back in the game, at least in terms of performance, and can thus become an interesting test tool for developers or, as it once was, a more affordable entry device into the iOS/Apple world. But the quiet announcement of the news through a press release without much fanfare suggests that iPods will never be the same for Apple.
So for me, the performance of the iPod Touch alone is worth the price... It's going to be a terrible machine, I'm thinking about it normally, I just bought a Bose soundlink, but only one unit, and this is a paradise, at least I won't have a flashlight on my iPhone: D Well, ideal for summer, they timed it perfectly
iPod Nano 1500 more expensive for other colors (missing my favorite green). So it's worth it!
it looks very nice, if it's the last gen, I'll probably buy it, NANO.
I feel that this was a very good move by Apple, I have an iP 6 plus and I plan to buy this, it is small, powerful and nice :-) such a small iPhone and for good money :-) I would just like to add that you have a minor error there ;-) iP 4 didn't have A5 and vice versa iP 4S doesn't have 5 Mpx but 8 Mpx :-)
