Apple introduces new entry-level iPod Touch

Apple has quietly introduced a new iPod Touch to the popular product line-up which has done away with the camera and contains 16GB of onboard storage.

Priced at $249, the device features the same 4-inch Retina Display seen on the iPhone 5 as well as an ultraslim design which is just 6.1mm thick.

It is available in only one colour variant– black with a silver aluminium rear panel.

The new iPod Touch does not have a camera and is powered by the dual core A5 processor.

It also includes the latest Apple EarPods and a Lightning to USB cable.

The product is also running the same iOS 6 operating system as the iPhone, iPad and the latest fifth generation iPod Touch range which was released late last year and can run all of your favourite iOS apps
