Apple's line of portable iPods is well-earned. Thin and light, with a lot of memory, they are true pocket music centers. It is not surprising that users are waiting with interest and impatience for the release of the next models of the gadget.
Apple currently makes the following series of players: iPod classic - the largest hard drive mid-size iPod touch, the smallest iPod nano, and the screenless iPod shuffle. All models can be connected to a computer.
The company is expected to introduce a new iPod touch player in the fall. The exact date is even named - September 12. On this day, several new products of the company will be announced at once: in addition to the iPod, a new model of the popular iPhone smartphone and an iPad mini tablet will be demonstrated.
Little is known about what the new iPod will look like. According to leaked information, the new player will have a larger screen from 3.5 to 4 inches, similar to the screen of the new iPhone. It is expected that the use of new technologies will improve the quality of the touch module, which will reduce the overall thickness of the screen. The technical characteristics of the device will be close to those of the iPhone 4S smartphone, since the gadget is based on its platform. In particular, the dual-core A5 processor will be used.
Since the iPhone 4S platform is used to create the new player, the new iPod will look quite similar to its more eminent brother. But there will still be differences, including in comparison with the previous models of the player. So, the traditionally mirror-polished aluminum case, which caused a lot of complaints from users for its low scratch resistance, will become matte in the new model.
According to unconfirmed reports, buyers will be available in two versions of the iPod - black and white. There is also information that there is some kind of hole at the bottom of the body of the new device, and this is definitely not a camera. What it is intended for has not yet been established. Sales of the new device from Apple will begin on Friday 21 September. The price of the player has not been reported.
