Apple confirms new iPod touch and iPod nano

Apple has launched "a new line-up of the world's most popular music players" with the announcement of a new iPod touch and a new iPod nano.

The iPod touch (below) is from £249, while the new iPod nano (right) is just £129 for a 16GB model.

The new touch and nano will also ship with the new Apple EarPods, which feature a new design and claim a better fit and crucially better sound.

It's the thinnest ever iPod touch, measuring just 6mm thin and weighing 88g. It now has a 5mp camera with 1080p video recording and an LED flash for photos. There's also iMessage, FaceTime, a new look Mail app, Game Centre and more.

The new iPod touch battery life delivers 40 hours of audio playback and 8 hours of video playback.

Would you believe the iPod nano is the thinnest ever, too? At 5mm, it's true. A larger display than the last-gen nano, it promises to make navigating your music better with a multitouch screen and a new home button.

Bluetooth is integrated, though no sign of aptX, and there's a 30-hour battery life for music or 3.5 for video. A pedometer and support for Nike+ is built-in, too. It comes in a choice of seven colours.

Both the new iPod touch and the new iPod nano will both be available to pre-order from Friday 14th September.
