It has become an annual event since 2007 ufffd the Apple CEO holds the tech world spellbound with a new device that he claims will change the world. The competition sniggers and tries its best to come out with something that matches it. The same pattern is likely to be repeated this year, with Apple showing off a new iPhone and a range of iPods, and a great new range of earphones called EarPods. Nimesh Dubey tells us what stood tall at the end of the show
iPod touch The rockstar
For many, it has been “the iPhone without a phone” and the latest version of the iPod touch puts it bang into PDA territory. It packs in the same display as the iPhone 5, a dual core A5 processor, excellent graphics and lots of storage (it starts from 32 GB) into an impossibly thin 6mm frame that tips the scale at less than 90 gm. And in a very pleasant surprise, it comes with a super 5.0-megapixel iSight camera capable of shooting full HD video. It will be able to run almost every app that the iPhone can, and is likely to cost about half as much (we do not have an official price tag yet). We think this was the real star of the iPhone 5 show, as it delivers a lot of its functionality at a very affordable price. And we are going to be seeing it next month too.
