“We’re making the most affordable iOS device even better with a performance that is twice as fast as before, Group FaceTime and augmented reality starting at just $199,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Product Marketing. This is the first time Apple’s updated the iPod Touch since 2015, and yet, there’s no FaceID or TouchID; maybe just to save costs or to avoid cannibalizing its more lucrative iPad lineup. Here’s the pricing for all versions:
32GB: $199/ Rs 18,900/ £199 128GB: $299/ Rs 28,900/ £299 256GB: $399/ Rs 38,900/ £399
The new iPod Touch will be available from today. It’s quite disappointing that Apple didn’t upgrade anything but the chip. They could’ve included a new screen and better speakers to make it a more attractive buy. Probably, you’re better off buying an entry-level iPad at $329.
