Yesterday Apple added new models of the iPhone and iPod touch which have double the memory, doubling the amount of music, photos and videos that people can carry.The iPhone now comes as a new 16GB model for $499, joining the 8GB model for $399. Meanwhile, iPod touch now comes as a 32GB model for $499, joining the 16GB model for $399 and the 8GB model for $299.
Both iPhone and iPod touch feature Apple’s Multi-Touch user interface and pioneering software that allows users to find and enjoy all their music, videos, photos and more with just a finger touch.
All iPhone and iPod touch models include the latest software enhancements announced last month including the ability to automatically find your location using the new Maps application; create Web Clips for favorite websites; customize the home screen and watch movies from iTunes Movie Rentals.
The new 16GB iPhone is available immediately for a suggested retail price of $499 through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and AT&T retail and online stores. The 32GB iPod touch is available worldwide immediately for a suggested retail price of $499 through the Apple Store, Apple’s retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers.
iPhone and iPod touch require a Mac with a USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later and iTunes 7.6; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 2) or later and iTunes 7.6. (info from Apple Insider)
My prediction: By holiday giving time (or maybe back-to-school) the new models will have $100 price drops, and the old models that had been $100 less, will be dropped.
