The next generation of iPod Touch will no longer just be an ordinary music device. According to Master Herald, there have been speculations that the upcoming iPod Touch 6th Generation would likely be an iPod Touch and iPhone turned into one.
The news outlet revealed that it would not just be an ordinary music device, just like its previous versions. Rather, it would also inherit some features from iPhones. Master Herald pointed out that the current iPod Touch 5th Generation is actually not as "impressive" as it was expected, considering the "very little improvements" it had. So why is Apple trying to revamp or empower its famous music device?
Master Herald claims that Apple's iPod Touch lost its fame upon the arrival of the latest and more powerful iPhones. Apple allegedly wants to change the current image of the iPod Touch -- being only second to the iPhone -- by making sure that its iPod Touch 6th Gen is "fully-loaded with features and state-of-the-art technology. Master Herald in a separate report predicted that the new iPod Touch would be powerful, even dubbing it as a "fully-loaded entertainment device." Some of its new features include the Apple Pay which was just recently introduced together with the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
The new music device is rumored to be more powerful than its predecessors as it would get a "better" and "faster" A9 processor. Aside from this, it is also believed that it would come out with iOS 9. The report also highlighted the possibility of the device getting Apple's digital assistant Siri. Plus, it is also said to have better security features including the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. As for the camera, the device is expected to get an 8-megapixel main camera. It is also said to get 1 GB of RAM. It is also said to be water-resistant.
Master Herald was also the one which speculated that the new music device would come out in two sizes. The first variant is one with a 4.7-inch screen while the other is larger with a 5.5-inch display size.
Aside from the size variants, fans will also be able to choose from different colors. They can choose from silver, pink, red, blue, space grey, and yellow. Plus, there are also whispers suggesting that it might be available on a white or gold version.
The price of the iPod Touch 6th Gen is expected to start at $250. It is said to come out this September. Apple has yet to confirm these rumors.
