Not the colors, the design:

Take the current nano. Stretch it so it has a longer screen.

 

[djplaeskool]

So, am i wrong in thinking the price point for the iPod Touch nearly defeats the purpose of even having an iPad mini in the first place?
I think we've been had.

 

[BootlegSnackz]

I'm the only one excited about earbuds? this is the first redesign

Fixed?

 

[DietRob]

and.. now I don't want a iPOD touch, badly.

299 :lol

 

[Keyser Soze]

Money is safe in my bank for now. Will be back when iPad Air/MiniWhatever gets announced...

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Who uses cases? Most I know don't. (Not that I'd want one in any color other than black or white, but I thought people were beyond hiding their phones in cases by now.)

I'm sure it varies, but from my experience probably 75% of the people I know use cases, and the ones that don't, their phones were paid for my work.

 

[eznark]

Where the fuck was the megaton?

WTF

It's a Loop. If you can't recognize a clear megaton that's on you.

 

[madmook]

Would need to know how much RAM the 5th gen Touch has before I get interested. Got burned by my 4th gen that I'm still using (it has 256mb iirc).

 

[fluffydelusions]

Where the fuck was the megaton?

WTF

dat adapter...weren't you watching?

Is this the first time Apple Stock went UP after a conference?

 

[alphaNoid]

Where the fuck was the megaton?

WTF

Wasn't one, but some people here are grasping at straws and saying the lightning connector is amazing. Desperation

 

[Zutroy]

So unless I missed something, no nano sim? Still the micro?

 

[PaulLFC]

Thats the flow for every announcement.

4S users dont really need 5, 4 users didnt really need 4S but need 5. 3GS users dont need 4 but need 4S and so on

So basically it's a 2 year cycle, like the Windows cycle...

Last iPhone I had was a 3GS, so I definitely need the upgrade. Moving from a Galaxy S2 back to the iPhone. Can't wait.

 

[JordanKZ]

So ign said Siri is coming to ipod touches let me guess the new one?

You shouldn't have even thought otherwise.

 

[kehs]

nothing says innovative new product quite like the cutting edge music of the foo fighters

Times like these.

 

[rinse82]

I'm the only one excited about earbuds? this is the first redesign in forever

Probably. Nobody really uses the standard Apple headphones.

 

[Wendel Clark]

What the fak are you talking about? The iPod line had colors before Nokia even had the Lumia's.

Ex.

LOL

 

[MarkusRJR]

Fucking Apple. Completely fucked up the Nano line and then they remove the Classic line. Guess I'm going to buy a Classic before they run out of stock. Ugh.

 

[bonesquad]

New phone is fairly underwhelming but iPhone 4 is so fucking slow that I can't wait to replace it.

I'm actually fine with my iPhone 4. When I had the 3G I couldn't wait to upgrade and pre-ordered the moment I could because of how slow the 3G was running, but right now the 4 works perfectly fine for me. I don't have these crash problems you mention.

Therefore right now I'm uncertain if I should upgrade or not...

 

[Officerrob]

Ipod touch pricing is insane

The lanyard completely destroys the look of the product.

 

[lunarworks]

The iPod Nano is an evolution of this design:

 

[Slurpy2k20]

Err.. for those making snarky remarks about the new nano copying the Lumia, let me jog your memory to the 4th gen Nano. They basically replaced the scroll wheel with the home button. When the Lumia 1st came out EVERYONE was comparing it to the nano design wise.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

They are the same exact prices that the current models were until 15 minutes ago.

Am I seriously the only person who noticed that?

This thread isn't about facts, it's about hilarious cynicism.

 

[GCX]

I find it funny how Apple used Lumia as an example at court on how to do a different smartphone design.

 

[Majine]

iPhone 5 up as a page on Apple.com

[Xater]

Those iPod touch prices are gross and I don't know where this leaves the iPad mini. Already thinking that I might go with a Nexus 7 if a 16GB iPad mini costs more than 300 bones.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Not the colors, the design:

oooft, so.....them patents, eh?

 

[AkuMifune]

Foo Fighters was a fitting choice.

 

[BobTheBub]

So unless I missed something, no nano sim? Still the micro?

Good point!

 

[Gandie]

Take the current nano. Stretch it so it has a longer screen.

And add a bezel at the bottom.

 

[Horse Detective]

I'm the only one excited about earbuds? this is the first redesign in forever

I personally like the way they look but thats just me.

 

[Somnid]

Man the new Touch is DOA assuming iPad Mini is competitive in any way.

 

[PaulLFC]

So unless I missed something, no nano sim? Still the micro?

There was a news story that Vodafone had ordered 500,000 nano sims, so if that's true, something must be happening.

 

[KingKong]

its up http://www.apple.com/

 

[outunderthestars]

A Nexus 7 is a hundred bucks less than the iPod Touch. Huh.

With a quarter of the storage and a tenth of the apps.

 

[vicissitudes]

I'm the only one excited about earbuds? this is the first redesign in forever

I would be but their in-ear headphones are still better.

 

[Adamm]

"the biggest thing to happen to iphone since iphone."


....wut?

 

[Hot Coldman]

I love the Foos (Wasting Light was one of last year's best) but ending an Apple conference with a band seems weeiiiirrd.

 

[Baller. PhD]

dat adapter...weren't you watching?

Already knew that. All that shit leaked weeks ago. I was expecting a bombshell. That was fucking pathetic.

 

[Caesnd]

Performance

For games and such then I assume? Because be it listening to music, web browsing or reading mail etc; My 4 handles all of this perfectly fine.

 

[djplaeskool]

Verge

They're now playing 'My Hero'

Acoustically.

God Varsity Blues was such a good movie.

:lololol

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

They said nothing about the EarPods price. I can imagine it being something ridiculous like $99.

 

[BootlegSnackz]

Apple site updated.

When you click the 5 it shows the 4s on the iPhone page lol...too slow apple

 

[Kosmo]

Well, everyone has been saying it was October.

I don't see the place for it with these prices on the iPod Touch. $299 for the 32GB version, the iPad 2 is $399 and the iPad Retina is $499. The old iPod Touch is $199 for a 16GB - where do they fit in a logically priced Mini iPad?

They have conceded that market to Amazon/Google.

 

[buhdeh]

Those iPod touch prices are gross and I don't know where this leaves the iPad mini. Already thinking that I might go with a Nexus 7 if a 16GB iPad mini costs more than 300 bones.

yeah the pricing is insane.

 

[Nilaul]

Same shitty cameras, except for a higher resolution?

 

[raven777]

the apple site updated

I was worried that metal part might be bright gray, but it seems its black

 

[grimshawish]

I'm actually quite happy with the new iPods. The new iPod Touch is undoubtedly the best version ever, and the biggest leap for the line since.. well, ever. New Nano is very cute, and more usable than the watch.

The colours are great, but there has still been a MASSIVE jump backwards in terms of storage. Massive. I would have jumped at some small updates to the classic, but it looks like its going to be killed

Its not the biggest leap in the line though. At all, these are just updates. With colours.
