Apple has launched a new Black & Silver 16GB iPod touch with no rear camera for $229.

The new iPod features an ultraslim design, 4-inch Retina display, dual-core A5 chip, and Apple EarPods. It replaces the fourth generation iPod touch that Apple was selling for $199 (16 GB) and $249 (32 GB).

Notably, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that Apple would drop the fourth generation in favor of a new scaled-back fifth generation iPod touch in January. Kuo had predicted an 8GB model for $199 but Apple chose to go with a 16GB model for $229.

This new 16GB device pushes people to buy 32GB and 64GB models. Simple marketing.

I think almost everyone would rather spend a few extra bucks for a camera.

This is not acceptable Apple company. You already defeats the purpose of your Facetime call when using the rear camera. Now please explain that...And one last, aren't you aware that the camera of iPod Touch is one of its selling point?

If you have an IPhone and want an iPod touch for the extra space, would you really need a camera also?

Many companies like Motorola make the same phone without a camera. Some government buildings don't allow phones with cameras for security reasons. It might be that.

I guess apple smart doing this for two reasons: 1- for lower price and 2- its more safe for kids

The 4th gen 16GB device is selling fro $199 and the new device is $229. How is that lowering the price? How is removing rear camera is safer for kids?
