iPod Touch 5th Generation: Thinner, Larger Screen, 5 MP camera, Earpods, New cases and Siri

Update: The new iPod touch 32 GB will be available for pre-order on Sept 14. I think they ditched 16 GB already. The new iPod touch will start from ₱16,490. The iPod touch 4th generation will still be available

Just like its cousin, the iPhone 5, this one would have a tone down hardware compared to the iPhone 5/ The new iPod touch 5th Generation will feature a thinner 6.1mm design, larger 4″ screen with the same resolution and 326ppi. It doesn’t pack an A6 processor but a dual core A5 processor which can be found on the iPhone 4s. There’s a 5 megapixel camera upgrade with a backside-illuminated f/2.4 lens that can shoot 1080p while the front camera can record 720p videos. It also comes with the new earpods which is Apple’s newest earphone. The new iPod touch finally supports Siri over Wifi. Oh and Apple released cases for the iPod touch too. The battery is rated at 40 hours of music playback and 8 hours of video playback.
