Many rumors are spread about ipod touch 4th gen. Apple’s factory leak is just getting bigger, and Vietnam continues to be the undiscovered country of Apple leaks, this time with exclusive photos of the new iPod Touch… this time sporting the long rumored 2MP camera we’ve been waiting for for the past years.
Vietnamese site Tinhte’s photos show a 64GB iPod Touch that looks remarkably similar to the current model, except for the addition of the camera sensor (which, surprisingly, is center-mounted on the back… I thought for sure the rubber foot on the left corner was where the iPod Touch’s camera would inevitably end up).
The biggest surprise here is that the fourth-generation iPod Touch isn’t sporting the same design as the iPhone, but is sticking with the current unibody, reflective unibody casing. And it looks like my wet dream of a microSIM slot in the iPod Touch was just that.
It’s been quite a while since Apple gave their iPod touch line a major refresh in terms of hardware. In fact all models since the 1st-gen iPod touch pretty much does the same thing. Although the 3rd-gen iPod touch, which is also known as iPod touch 3G is really fast compared to the previous generation iPod touches, but that is pretty much about it as it does the same thing – only faster. But now according to a leading UK retailer, Apple is going to pump up the next-gen iPod touch 4 / 4G with iPhone 4 like features such as FaceTime, 5MP camera with 720p video recording capabilities, A4 processor, gyroscope and a lot more!
No matter, though: I’ve been waiting for a camera on the Touch for so long, this is easily a day one purchase for me. We’ll know for sure when we can pick one up at WWDC in June, although an early September release is historically the most likely bet.
Now what is given in iPhone
There is some interesting news for iPod fans who are waiting anxiously for the iPod Touch 4 to emerge. There are some rumors circling the tech air that iPod 4 [ Refresh, as it is rumored] will be out somewhere in march and will carry some amazing features.
Until now all of it is based on some beans spilled at Xmas in July event in Central London where John Lewis went as far as giving a full fledged presentation on rumored iPod 4 Refresh. These are some of the specs that were “revealed;” by Mr. John at the event in Central London:
- Front Facing VGA Camera
- 5 Mega Pixel Rear (Primary Camera)
- LED Flash
- HD Video Recording Capability
- FaceTime Video Chat Feature
If these specs hold genuine, then we can very well imagine that this iPod will gather a lot of attention as iPhone 4 did. Stay tuned with us as we will update this post once there is something more verifiable and genuine regarding the new iPod 4.
