Apple Fattens Up iPhone & iPod touch
Apple has introduced some fatter iPhones and iPod touch devices to counter user grumbles that storage was a bit weedy.
The iPhone now has a 16GB model for £329, to sit alongside the current the 8GB model, which costs £269. That’s £60 for double the storage. The iPod touch now sports a more useful 32GB model for £329 (inc. VAT), joining the existing 16GB and 8GB models which cost £269 and £199, respectively. I know at least two mates who got the 8GB iPhone and 16GB iPod touch as Christmas pressies and who will soon be kicking the cat in frustration.
“For some users, there’s never enough memory”, said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod and iPhone Product Marketing. “Now people can enjoy even more of their music, photos and videos on the most revolutionary mobile phone and best Wi-Fi mobile device in the world”.
The fatter versions are available now online, at Apple stores and Carphone Warehouse.-Martin Lynch
