Apple iPod Touch 6th Generation Would Be Water-Resistant

Among the many groundbreaking features of the Apple iPod Touch 6th Generation is its being a water-resistant device, notes Ecumenical News.

While many consider this a not-so-special feature considering that most modern devices nowadays are water-resistant, the fact of the matter remains that the Apple iPod Touch 6th Generation is a music gadget more than anything else is what makes it distinctively unique.

The Apple Watch for instance is water-resistant but it is very common for many timepieces to have the same capability. And so are some other current mobile devices.

But looking at the present and even recent roster of music and media player devices, it would be nearly improbable to identify one that has the water-resistant feature, which makes the Apple iPod Touch 6th Generation truly unique.

September release

Although Apple has expressed initial skepticism about releasing the iPod Touch 6th Generation since much of the functions of the media player device is now being done by iPhones and the iPads and even the Apple Watch, the American tech giant is said to be putting a lot of firsts on the music device to ensure that it will have a captured market once it’s released this coming September

Accordingly, the iPod Touch 6th Generation shall feature Apple’s mobile payment system, the Apple Pay. The device shall be powered by an A9 microprocessor, which is way better than the chipset currently being used in the manufacture of the iPhone 6. The processor is said to be better and faster although at this point in time, the A9 microprocessor has yet to officially come out from production

The iPod Touch 6th Generation shall come out in two display size variants – a 4.7-inch screen size version and a 5.5-inch display size and both versions will apparently feature Retina display which means excellent resolutions.

It shall also feature Siri, digital assistant found on the mobile devices of the American tech giant. And finally, the iPod Touch 6th Generation is reportedly coming out of the box with the iOS 9 already on it. Reports have it that the latest Apple mobile operating system is now on its final beta-testings and it is likely that it will be rolling out any time before September, giving the iPod Touch 6th Generation the perfect prelude.

Features and price

The Apple iPod Touch 6th Generation shall come in six different colors including silver, pink, red, blue, space grey, and yellow. It will have 1GB of RAM but can be upgraded to as much as 128GB through a microSD card.

The Apple iPod Touch 6 will reportedly have a longer battery life, improved security features that include Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and shall sport an 8-megapixel iSight camera which shall also be waterproof just like the Apple Watch. It shall also be compatible with the iWatch.

The iPod Touch 6th Generation would have a retail price of anywhere from $250 to $300, depending on the variant. Apple has yet to confirm all these supposedly groundbreaking features, specifications, and price for the music device though.
