Apple on Tuesday rolled out new iPhone and iPod Touch
models with beefed-up memories and bumped-up prices.
A premium iPhone with 16
gigabytes of memory and a 499 dollar price tag is now the top of
that line, ahead of a model with half the memory and a price of 399
dollars.
An iPod Touch with 32 gigabytes
of memory costs 499 dollars, relegating the 399 dollar 16-gigabyte
model to second position. Apple sells an eight-gigabyte iPod Touch
for 299 dollars.
"For some users, there's
never enough memory," said Apple vice president for iPod and
iPhone marketing Greg Joswiak.
Apple chief executive Steve Jobs
says the California company has sold more than four million iPhones,
touch-screen mobile devices combining telephone, video, music, and
Internet connectivity.
IPod Touch models are essentially
iPhones without the mobile telephone capabilities.
Apple's enhancement of memory
capacities in its devices comes a month after the company added a
movie rental service to its iTunes online entertainment store menu.
IPhone and iPod Touch models can
download and present content from iTunes.
