iPod Touch Refresh to Bring New Colors to the Equation

[Akshay Masand]

It was previously discovered that new iPods would be released alongside the iPhone 5 at Apple’s September 12 event. Furthermore, it was also revealed that the new iPod Touch would also be getting the new 4-inch, 16:9 screen which the iPhone currently utilizes. New reports are coming in stating that Apple might be keeping the old model around at the low price point while at the same time introducing some new colors to the equation as well.

According to Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac:

We’re also told that these new $299 and $399 iPod models (which we assume are new iPod touches) will come in multiple variations. Perhaps, for the first time, the new iPod touches will come in various colors, but that’s just what we’re inferring, not confirming.

The Cupertino California company has kept older generation iPod Touches around the entry level price point so this isn’t exactly a new surprise when seen here. As far as giving the iPod Touch a 4-inch makeover and keeping a bargain price, that isn’t going to happen so they’ll go with the strategy that works best for them: something old and something new.

The variety of colors that the iPod Shuffle will be available in will also go from the current 5 up to 8, and the iPod Nano is likely to see a completely new model.

With all the changes coming up, consumers are likely itching to get their hands on the new hardware which is about to be announced and released. We’ll know more details after Apple’s announcement on September 12.

the samething again, why are you using the picture of the iphone 5 mockup when the article itself says that there will be no new models and only new colors for the same model, please have better discretion when using pictures in articles when the article completely goes against the picture.

Don't post if you are just going to complain about the staff. The mock up they are using is what is rumored to be the iPhone 5. There is no picture of the device yet. If they are talking about iPhone 5 rumors then the mock up fits perfectly.

So no update to the worst camera and the A4 chip and all the other defects to the iPod! Only a bigger screen and apple thinks we will be pleased! Well Ima skip this ipod if it only has a bigger screen!

+1 if they are going to beef up the price I expect beefed up hardware not just a screen. Talking ram increase, A5x, 32/64/128GB options and better cameras. FFS its due!

Wtf? Why do people like you think one rumor is the whole fate of the device? Like seriously? OH NO apples not going to use their superior a5-a5x choosing it. Oh and they won't use their new camera technology. They just spent millions in research developing and engineering to not use their technology.

I just love the way people react to rumors.

His opinion was him complaining they use the closest thing to a picture of the iPhone 5 as an image for iPhone 5 rumors. It's not like he said "I like turtles" and I called him a dumbass. His post was just 99.8725% retarded.

I think i'll stick to my old iPod Touch 4th gen since there is no major changes inside its processors

[BetaMonster]

St being a jerk he is aloud an opinion

true, he's allowed an opinion in the same way he's allowed to whine and cry like a menstruating schoolgirl about everything and you're allowed to misspell simple words like "allowed."

Here's a Kleenex.

So you've seen the official release announcement detailing the iPod changes and enhancements? Interesting, because the rest of the world hasn't.

I guess on the Internet you're "aloud" spell how ever you want. The Internet supposedly educates, but it's just been showing me there is more stupid people world wide than I had previously anticipated.

[Amadomon]

There ARE more stupid people, Rob. Oh, and-- I like turtles.

[tudtran]

I want a yellow, green, or orange iPhone.

[benk9]

Be sweet if apple made a wide choice of colours for the new iphone.

[hitman10]

Pretty lame if they dont, I bought a custom colours to go on my iphone. Looks awesome and i kno no one else is sport the same colours either.

[Colin9001]

I want more RAM and a newer processor.
Like honestly.
Won't buy if these are the only upgrades.

[Rob2G]

Turtles are pretty awesome, especially if they are the ninja variety.
