Apple iPods have always been equipped with good hardware which makes them a good investment and with the new device; people will be able to enjoy music in a whole new way. With the launch of Apple Music service, customers from all over the world will be able to listen to the playlists that have been created by some of the most talented music experts. The user will also be able to comment or like the backstage photos or videos of their favorite music artists. Apple’s vice president, Greg Joswiak said, ”iPod touch gives customers around the world access to Apple Music, the AppStore and iOS, the world’s most advanced operating system, starting at just $199. With the big A8 chip and the 8 megapixel iSight camera, customers can experience next-level gameplay, take even more beautiful photos and enjoy their favorite music, TV shows and movies.” An important thing about the A8 chip is that it is the same one that is being used in the latest iPhone 6. This guarantees better gaming for long hours and good battery life which is the main issue of smartphone devices.
