SAN FRANCISCO-September 12, 2012-Apple® today introduced the new lineup of 
the world's most popular music players including the incredible all-new iPod 
touch® and reinvented iPod nano®. The new iPod touch is the thinnest iPod 
touch ever and features a brilliant 4-inch RetinaT display; a 5 megapixel 
iSight® camera with 1080p HD video recording; Apple's A5 chip; Siri®, the 
intelligent assistant; and iOS 6, the world's most advanced mobile operating 
system. The new iPod touch comes in a gorgeous new ultra-thin and light 
anodized aluminum design, and for the first time ever, iPod touch comes in 
five vibrant colors. The new iPod nano is the thinnest iPod® ever featuring 
a 2.5-inch Multi-TouchT display; convenient navigation buttons; built-in 
Bluetooth for wireless listening; and the new iPod nano comes in seven 
gorgeous new colors.

"With over 350 million sold, iPod is the world's most popular and beloved 
music player," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of 
Worldwide Marketing. "Music lovers may have a difficult time deciding 
between the reinvented iPod nano, the thinnest iPod ever, and the all-new 
iPod touch with its stunning 4-inch Retina display, 5 megapixel iSight 
camera and ultra-thin design-both in beautiful new colors."

The new iPod touch has been redesigned with a brilliant 4-inch Retina 
display in an ultra-thin and light anodized aluminum body-the thinnest iPod 
touch ever at just 6 mm thin and weighing just 88 grams. With Apple's 
dual-core A5 chip inside, iPod touch delivers up to twice the processing 
power and up to seven times faster graphics than the fourth generation iPod 
touch, all while maintaining incredible battery life of up to 40 hours of 
music playback and up to eight hours of video playback.* And, for the first 
time ever, iPod touch is available in five vibrant colors.

The new iPod touch includes a 5 megapixel iSight camera with autofocus, 
support for 1080p video recording with video image stabilization, face 
detection and an LED flash, and the new panorama feature that lets you 
capture gorgeous panoramic photos by simply moving the camera across a 
scene. Every new iPod touch comes with a color-matched iPod touch loop, a 
clever and convenient wrist strap you can use while taking photos, recording 
video and playing games.

The new iPod touch comes with iOS 6, the world's most advanced mobile 
operating system with over 200 features, and for the first time, features 
Siri, the intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by 
asking. Siri arrives on the new iPod touch with support for more languages, 
easy access to sports scores, restaurant recommendations and movie 
listings.** The new iPod touch also includes: built-in Facebook integration 
with ability to post directly from Siri; Shared Photo Streams via iCloud®; 
and other key iOS features like iMessageT, FaceTime®, Mail and Game Center. 
Now you can wirelessly display your iPod touch screen right on your HDTV 
with AirPlay® Mirroring, allowing you to stream photos, videos, music, apps 
and play games on your big screen TV.***

The reinvented iPod nano is the thinnest iPod ever, at just 5 mm, and 
features the largest display ever built into an iPod nano, allowing you to 
enjoy more of your music, photos and widescreen videos. The new iPod nano 
features a 2.5-inch Multi-Touch display to make navigating your music even 
easier; a home button to quickly get back to your home screen; and 
convenient buttons to easily control volume and quickly play, pause or 
change songs without looking. The new iPod nano gives music lovers built-in 
Bluetooth for wireless listening with Bluetooth-enabled headphones, speakers 
and cars. At 30 hours, the new iPod nano offers the longest music playback 
of any iPod nano so you can enjoy your playlists* and FM radio even longer. 
With built-in fitness features including a pedometer and support for Nike+, 
iPod nano users will be ready to take their music walking, running or 
anywhere they like. The new iPod nano comes in seven gorgeous new colors 
with fun color-matched wallpapers.

smaller, smarter and more durable than the previous connector. The 
all-digital Lightning connector features an adaptive interface that uses 
only the signals that each accessory requires, and it's reversible so you
