Apple announces a new iPod touch TechCrunch

Apple is updating the iPod touch with an A10 Fusion system-on-a-chip. Other than that, it seems pretty much like the antique iPod touch with a 4-inch display, a traditional domestic button and plenty of unique color alternatives.

The A10 Fusion chip became first delivered with the iPhone 7. In other words, the new iPod touch plays extra or less much like an iPhone 7. Just like the previous version of the iPod touch, it supports iOS 12. But you could now launch ARKit apps and start group FaceTime conversations — the A8 wasn’t effective enough for those functions.

This is a surprising move as the iPod touch hasn’t been updated since2019. Many people believed that Apple would focus on the iPhone as there’s less demand for a smartphone without cellular capabilities. The device doesn’t support Touch ID or Face ID, so you’ll have to use a good old passcode. But it’s worth noting that there’s a headphone jack at the bottom of the device.

And yet, the iPod touch is cheap when you compare it to an iPhone. Apple is releasing three different models. For $199, you get 32GB of storage, for $299, you get 128GB of storage, and for $399, you get 256GB of storage — a 32GB iPhone 7 currently costs $449. It is available in six different colors and should be available today on Apple’s website and later this week in retail stores.

There are many capability use cases for this sort of device. It may be a remarkable standalone tune and video participant for youngsters or individuals who don’t need to get a smartphone. You also can use it as a remote to manipulate track to your Sonos speakers and different related speakers.
