It wasn’t just the iPhone 5 that was announced by Apple at their press event in California. There are now two brand new iPod models available: a new iPod nano 7G and a brand new iPod touch, both available in a multitude of colours, as well as new colours available for iPod Shuffle.
Head of Product at Proporta, Lynnette Prigmore, expressed her excitement for the new range of iPods: “With the new iPod nano finally making a reappearance to our shelves and the new iPod shuffle getting a small makeover, we’ve been working around the clock to get new designs ready to launch on our website and to our retail partners. Being one of the only accessories manufacturers to cover all of the Apple family, this is a very big launch for Proporta… It’s now that the fun starts. The iPod touch has impressed; a panoramic camera feature, 1080p video camera, Siri and the A5 chip from the previous iPhone 4S, Apple continues to dominate the MP3 player market so much so now that even that term seems to have become defunct.”
