Apple Announces a New iPod Touch Starting at $199

Today Apple announced an updated version of its iPod touch with an A10 Fusion system-on-a-chip and storage starting at 32GB for $199. Or you could get the $399 iPod Touch with 256GB of storage. (Right now the iPhone 7 currently starts at $449.) You can find the iPod Touch available in six different colors and will be available on Apple’s website later today.

“We’re making the most affordable iOS device even better with performance that is twice as fast as before, Group FaceTime and augmented reality starting at just $199,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Product Marketing. “The ultra-thin and lightweight design of iPod touch has always made it ideal for enjoying games, music and so much more wherever you go.”

The good news is you can now use the iPod touch to access FaceTime something the old iPod Touch could not do. Sadly you won’t find a lot of the newer features found in current iPhones. No Touch ID or Face ID are some of the main features that are missing from the new iPod Touch.

This is breaking news and we will update this post as we learn more.
