The new iPod shuffle has just launched – we know you’re already going crazy for the redesigned micro music player, but just to crank up the excitement even further, here are all the official photos!
The new iPod shuffle now packs in 4GB of storage, quadrupling the storage on the previous iPod shuffle, as well as gaining the ability to read out song and even battery life info, and yet the new iPod shuffle is just as slim as ever.
The new iPod shuffle is shipping now in black and silver for £59, but if you just can’t wait to get your hands on one, check out our gallery of all the official new iPod shuffle photos below!
So Apple introduces an iPod that has the controls on the earphone cable, that means the only replacement earphones that will work with it are the earphones sold by Apple. I guess that shouldn’t come as much as a surprise in Apple’s proprietary kingdom. I’m still trying to figure out why Apple is discontinuing the 2GB shuffle and not the 1 GB shuffle. Wouldn’t it make a lot more sense to dump the 1 GB and make 2 GB the new entry level? I guess it didn’t make sense to anybody at Apple.
I see the argument, but if you’re buying a shuffle to plug high quality headphones into I think you’re missing the point slightly. It’s for gym addicts, or those who just don’t want to splash out on pricey MP3 players. If you’re the latter, you’re unlikely to splash out on new headphones for it either.
