Apple has made my Black Friday price prediction of the new Apple iPod touch 5G a reality before it is even Black Friday. Apple unveiled the new iPod touch 5th generation yesterday. The surprise is that pricing is now lower. The 8GB iPod touch is now selling for only $199 instead of $229. The best deal without gift card for the 8GB iPod touch 4G during Black Friday 2010 was $199.The new iPod touch is basically unchanged in terms of hardware. The new things are that it will ship with iOS 5 and that you can now also get a white iPod touch.
With iOS 5 you can use the new iCould service and also the new messaging app iMessage. The iPod touch is becoming the ultimate gadget for teenagers to play games, surf the web and message without causing major phone bills. The iPod touch will be yet again one of the hottest Christmas presents for the Holidays 2011.
Given that Apple did not change the hardware and that the starting price of the iPod touch is now $199, I predict to iPod touch Black Friday deals priced at $149. If we are lucky even without a gift card.
Apple will want to sell through tons of iPod touch devices this Holidays. The cost of making them should be low enough now after two years on the market to allow bigger margins for sales.
Watch especially Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart for iPod touch Black Friday 2011 deals.
The new iPod touch is available for pre-order now on the Apple Store and ships October 12.
