Apple on Tuesday introduced the new iPod touch which packs the A10 Fusion chip designed to bring improved performance in games and offer Group FaceTime, making it easy to chat with family members, friends or colleagues simultaneously.
The new iPod touch starts at Rs 18,900 for the 32GB model, Rs 28,900 for the 128GB model and Rs 38,900 for the 256GB model and is available through Apple authorised resellers and select carriers, Apple said in a statement.
"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," Joswiak added.
The new iPod touch comes in a 256GB capacity, giving plenty of space to download music for offline listening through Apple MusicĀ® or the iTunes Store.
With Apple Music, subscribers can access a catalogue of over 50 million songs, thousands of playlists, Beats 1 Radio and daily editorial selections from music experts.
Subscribers can create their own playlists, watch music videos, listen to Beats 1 shows from their favourite artists on demand and share music with their friends.
The new iPod touch also provides fun augmented reality (AR) experiences across gaming, education and web browsing, Apple said.
Tech giant Apple is also set to unveil a slew of features and tools -- from software to hardware along with major updates -- on its iOS and MacOS ecosystem.
While iOS 13 is a certainty, Apple could also refresh its Mac Pro and announce interoperability between iOS and MacOS at its annual developer conference WWDC 2019 in San Jose, California next week, reports CNET.
iOS 13, expected to be part of iPhone 11 this year, would have a new home screen, a system-wide "dark mode" setting, expanded multi-tasking capabilities and an "undo" options.
Apple is also said to be "cultivating greater interoperability" between iOS and MacOS.
"This would ostensibly make it easier for developers to share code among apps written for the iPhone and iPad and Macs," the report said.
The new MacOS 10.15 may let Mac users use an iPad as a second screen.
According to a Digital Trends report, not all Apple devices may support iOS 13.
"Those rumoured to be cut off from the latest software include the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone SE, iPhone 5s, the iPad Mini 2, and the original iPad Air," said the report.
The company could also debut the updated Mac Pro, which it had pledged to reveal in 2019.
Apple may also reveal its Marzipan project too, which would make iPads more easier to use as a full laptop replacement.
