Apple unveils new iPod Touch along with new colors for iPod Shuffle and Nano

Apple has refreshed its iPod lineThe iPod Touch gets the most love with all new internals but there’s a fresh coat of paint for the iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano too.

The new iPod Touch has a better camera – jumping from 5 megapixels to 8 megapixels – which puts it in line with the iPhone 6/6 Plus and iPad Air 2.

Apple has also updated the image sensor processor and added burst and slo-mo modes. The front-facing camera hasn’t had a resolution bump but it does not feature burst mode for swifter selfie capture.

The Touch also has cinematic video stabilization now, which should make it a lot better at capturing videos on the move.
