iPod touch Which feature do you think will be included in the iPod Touch(5G)

[WLS]

Upon today's recent rumor that the "next" iPod touch is going to be white - it looks virtually unchanged on the front. So I am guessing that Apple is going to "screw" us over one the new touch 5G. The new features we might/might not see are:

A5 processor
256MB or 512MB RAM
Possibly better camera on rear
16GB standard (8GB isn't practical)
Same size, same resolution display
Same chrome back (I really wish the new touch gets redesigned)
Better battery life

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make my own prediction .

A4. No A5 as it is more expensive and overheats in Touch size case.
512 MB ram for the A4 chip
It will have standard 16GB.
Same size and resolution but possible increase in quality of display, same iPhone4 IPS display. Cost of that should be down now.
Same form and back and same battery. No reason to change this.
IOS5!
Available in white! This will be Apple's idea of a spec update.
No GPS. I broke down and bought an external GPS solution for my Touch and iPad.
No 3G radio. No way No how. Apple will be selling a no contract low cost 3GS if you really want that.
Lower price or same price for the 16GB as was for the 8GB
Bluetooth 4 since it is a single chip solution from Broadcom that Apple will use in all IOS devices. It's in the new laptops now.
Camera? That's a wild card but Apple tends to go with the cheaper solution. magic 8 ball says: Ask again later
Heck I still would buy this in White and 32GB to replace my 1st gen model

Agree with most points

Its more likely that A5 won't come but RAM should increase
3G and GPS won't come
16GB storage capacity will be a welcomed addition
IPS display should come
I couldn't care less about white.
There should be a moderate update to the camera

Increased RAM and maybe a better camera. Probably about it.

do you think that the 5g won't get the A5? it won't be weird to have the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 with A5 and 5g with A4.eitherway im gonna stick with my 4g.i love it i just don't need an upgrade

 

[wngster]

i realy dont like the idea of a touch sensitve home butten cus what if u r playin a game and accadentaly touch it

 

[Illumination]

I'm really hoping for a 16GB base model. I want to get one and I have around 10.5GB of music. My iPod classic is starting to deteriorate. Plus, I can't justify paying $300 for the 32GB model when I know I won't use half of it.

 

[Nicolas4ever]

it would be soooo cool if the new iPod touch has the same back of the ipad 2

 

[weenerdog]

Most attractive features for me would be better battery life, no chrome on the back and A5 + 512mb ram.

Don't really care about the camera though I see it as a possibility as Apple need an obvious upgrade feature to advertise with and a ram increase etc. isn't going to do it for most consumers.

Bigger screen would be a dream but it's unlikely.

I really hope for a different back!!! I just hate it right now! Also I want an upgrade to te cameras and the A5 that's all! Right now I'm starting to sell my iPod touch 4g! So I'm ready. But isn't sure for te September release as the iPhone will release in September

Agreed it is about time for Apple to introduce a new back that is more scratch resistant.

 

[benhollberg]

It'll have all the new features of the iPhone 5, but those new features will be cut in half.

RIP LIGHTING

Upgraded camera and more RAM are a must, LED flash would also be welcomed.

 

[Peterson8765]

It just needs a performance boost. It will probably be unchanged physically, but I'm always hoping for that aluminum back.

 

[LeighAnna Jones]

I want a new back, that stupid chrome doesn't cut it.

I also highly depend on FM radio, so I'm gonna kick Apple in the gut if I don't get that.

 

[Nicolas4ever]

i agree with all of you about the different back.Why apple keep relesing new ipod touches with this ****** back?

 

[Invincibilizer]

A different back would be interesting but that may not qualify under minor update.

 

[Lukkee24]

• Available in White
• Processor and/or ram update
• Same chrome back
• Possible rear camera update, although I'm not expecting it tbh

And Oleophobic screen.


The list seems about right.
