Apple on Wednesday launched a new version of the iPod touch, featuring a 64-bit A8 CPU. This breaks a long run of neglect for Apple’s cheapest iOS device, which last received an update way back in 2012. It will be a huge leap in performance over the previous iPod touch which featured an A5 SoC. Both the front and back cameras have been improved, with the back shooter now featuring 8 megapixels of resolution. The new iPod touch is also available for the first time in gold matching the iPhone and iPad in addition to new dark blue and pink case options. The iPod touch is also getting a storage bump at least at the higher end — there is now a $399 128 GB model. The base $199 iPod touch remains the same with 16 GB of onboard storage, the 32 GB model is $249 and the 64 GB version is $299. There are also updates to the iPod shuffle and iPod nano, although these are merely cosmetic changes to fascia of the products. The shuffle and nano now come in dark blue, pink and gold variants. The new iPod touch also includes the M8 motion coprocessor for fitness tracking, just like the iPhone, as well as support for 802.11ac. The front camera now supports burst mode for quick selfie shots. The prices and specs of the iPod nano and shuffle remain the same. Despite an improved camera, the new iPod touch does not include the wrist-strap ‘Loop’ that the previous generation incorporated into its design. You can buy all of the new iPods from Apple.com right now.
