It’s been a while since a new iPod Touch has been around; in fact, the product has been largely ignored since 2012, as Apple focused on new iPhones, iPads, and the Apple Watch since then. That all changed today.
Apple introduced the 6th generation of the iPod Touch today in a colourful lineup, including space grey, silver, gold, pink and blue. The camera has been upgraded to 8MP, and FaceTime HD camera. It’s also powered by the A8 chip and M8 motion coprocessor. Of course, this is also perfectly timed with the newly launched Apple Music service (which we have reviewed here), and hopefully the cloud-syncing hiccups are resolved by now.
“iPod touch gives customers around the world access to Apple Music, the App Store and iOS, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, starting at just AED 799. With big advancements like the A8 chip and the 8 megapixel iSight camera, customers can experience next-level gameplay, take even more beautiful photos and enjoy their favourite music, TV shows and movies.” – Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of iPhone, iPod and iOS Product Marketing.

The new iPod touch starts at AED 799 for the 16GB model, AED 999 for 32GB and AED 1,199 for 64GB. It’s available starting today through the Apple Online Store. The iPod touch is available in a 128GB model for AED 1,599 through Apple Retail Stores and the Apple Online Store, along with the (PRODUCT)RED lineup.
