Exclusive: New Features of iPod Touch, Nano Revealed in Dozens of Cases

11:59 pm, July 22nd, 2009, Leander Kahney

The next iPod Touch and iPod Nano are about to get cameras, according to intelligence coming from Chinese case makers.

What’s the worst kept secret in China?

The features and dimensions of Apple’s new iPod Touch and iPod Nano, which are hush-hush here in the U.S. ahead of their expected September unveiling, but are well-known in China.

According to more than a dozen pictures of new cases acquired by CoM, the new iPod Touch and iPod Nano will both get cameras.

The big surprise is that the iPod Touch’s camera is in the center of the device, not offset like the camera in the iPhone.

The Nano’s new camera is placed in the bottom left corner, which becomes top left when the iPod is held horizontally to take a picture, with fingers on each corner.

The outside dimensions remain largely the same as previous models, but the Nano gets a widescreen display, the better to take photos with the camera on the back.

This has all been widely rumored, of course. iLounge detailed the new Nano back in May.

But the dozen pictures of new cases below all but confirm the rumors. Chinese case manufacturers are so certain of the features and dimensions, they are already sending out samples of the cases. They wouldn’t do this unless they were pretty confident.

“My company had got full information and dimension,” wrote a Chinese distributor in an email to a U.S. reseller. “Enclosed some image and instruction for your reference. Most of the sample available now. If you need some sample check quality please freely let me know.”

Hit the jump for dozens of new cases exclusively unearthed by CoM.

Though a closely guarded secret here in the U.S., the details Apple’s new iPods are so well known among Chinese case manufacturers, many have already started making cases for the new devices.

The case business is highly competitive, and manufacturers are eager to have cases ready for when the devices ship, not months afterward. Usually, case manufacturers have to wait until Apple introduces its devices before they can start work on new accessories.

The pictures below come from emails and PowerPoint presentations sent from China to U.S. accessory makers. The emails introduce the new cases, detail the materials and wholesale pricing, and offer the U.S. company samples for review. The emails come from several different companies, at least one of which makes OEM cases for U.S brands.

The Chinese case manufactures learned of the new iPods’ precise dimensions in May, the emails reveal. But to be sure, the case makers say they double checked the dimensions. They are now so certain of their intelligence, they are redying factory molds to have the cases available for when the iPods ship.

Apple is likely to introduce the new iPods in September — maybe by Steve Jobs himself — in time for the holiday shopping season.

If Apple sticks to the pattern of previous iPod updates, it’s a safe bet to say both iPods will get double the current storage capacities, but retail at the same prices.

* iPod Nano (fifth generation): 16GB for $150; 32GB for $200

* iPod Touch (third generation): 16GB for $230; 32GB for $300; 64GB for $400

According to the pictures, the Nano’s screen will get wider, growing to a 1.5:1 aspect ratio, from 1.33:1 (as iLounge previously reported).

In addition, the Nano’s click wheel will become a little smaller and move further down the device, making it more accessible to the right thumb for taking a photo.

It’s unclear whether the iPod Nano will be able to record video, but the iPod Touch likely will. The ability to record video is a hugely successful feature of the new iPhone 3GS. If so, it’ll be a big blow to manufacturers of point-and-shoot-cameras and camcorders like The Flip.

(Note: one of the iPod Touch mockups below uses the icons from the iPhone, not the iPod Touch. The mockup is supposed to represent the third-generation Touch though)

The iPod Nano gets a camera on the back and a larger, widescreen display.

The iPod Touch also gets a camera on the back.

Unlike the iPhone, the Touch's camera is located in the center of the device. It is not offset to one side.

Chinese case manufacturers are making samples of dozens of cases for the new camera-equipped iPods.

A mockup of the new iPod Nano shows off a case design made from a new Japanese material that's tough like plastic but soft to the touch like silicon. The image is taken from a PowerPoint sales brochure sent to a U.S. distributor.

Yeah, this is supposed to be the new iPod touch, even though the mockup incorrectly shows iPhone icons. Taken from the same sales brochure.

So this is what was supposed to be a major scoop? WOW…. I wrote about this chinese shit one month ago…

Martin Price, on July 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 am

Why the hole for the bit next to camera? Seems a great place to put a Xenon flash in for the Touch.

Tom Tubbs, on July 23rd, 2009 at 1:51 am

You’ve been writing about Apple for centuries and still you have to learn that the “t” of iPod touch and the “n” of iPod nano are NOT uppercase…

Martin Price, on July 23rd, 2009 at 1:53 am

I think this is a bad move from Apple. I like my iPod just because i can listen to music, no unnecessary functions to it. The more functions, the more it becomes like any other gadget.

Marco, on July 23rd, 2009 at 1:53 am

OK, I think this convinces me to wait till September to get my first iPod ever. I was thinking on getting a 2nd-gen Touch, but built-in camera, hmmm, is worth an extra month or two. For me anyway.

Thanks for the scoop, Leander!

Carlitos, on July 23rd, 2009 at 1:56 am

I’ve always been torn as to whether to buy an iPhone or a Touch; with the Touch now incorporating a camera, it makes the choice even harder. Personally, price is still the defining factor….

Horselover Fat, on July 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 am

Wow, god love the loose lips of the chinese manufacturers…

Neues iPod Touch: Die GerÃ¼chte verdichten sich (Update) « 11tech, on July 23rd, 2009 at 3:32 am

It would be “goodbye Flip” if someone produced a tripod mount for the iPod, and a grip attachment – the Flip is quite comfortable to hold and operate but my iPhone is fiddly to hold for any length of time. I hate cases normally but might consider one that was designed for situations where you wanted to record a substantial amount of video.

Jonathan, on July 23rd, 2009 at 3:33 am

What about the rumor that the touch would also be getting a mic? That would be huge for the device.

Or GPS?

Jacob Varghese, on July 23rd, 2009 at 3:55 am

Case manufacturers have admitted for some time that their early case designs are simply based on the rumors floating around and not on any “inside info” the rest of us don’t have. They don’t want to wait until Apple announces the new products, because it will take time for them to design and ramp up production of their cases for the new models. By designing to meet the rumors, they’re ready to go from Day One if the rumors pan out.

Frank, on July 23rd, 2009 at 6:14 am

I would need a real optical zoom and >8 mega pixel for me to take it seriously as a camera. I’m happy with my classic and current gen nano. Classic for the car and the nano for running, no need for a camera at all for me anyway.

scott, on July 23rd, 2009 at 6:15 am

The obvious flaw in the implementation on the nano is that it’s “handed.” Whichever side it’s on, the fact that it’s on one side and not the other will mean the iPod has a particular necessary orientation and that the controls will be on one (presumably the right), side. Lefties will have to hold it upside down perhaps?

Gazoobee, on July 23rd, 2009 at 6:56 am

These things are probably just prototypes. It should be easy enough to modify molds to run a couple of various models. No point in getting too excited over these things. Apple has said nothing about video capture in the refreshed iPod.

Bloggers make too much out of everything they see and then Apple has to take crap because high expectations have been set through no fault of their own. Nanos with cameras seem highly unlikely and would probably be a waste for buyers.

What the iPod touch really needs most is not a camera, although that would be nice, but a decent built-in speaker. One that is as good as the one in the iPhone. I am sick of trying to hear audio from videos, podcasts or streaming talk radio on my 2G touch without having to plug in some external thing. I wonder sometimes if anyone at Apple ever tries to use some of the stuff they sell before putting it on the market. I’m sick of making excuses for some of Apple’s design choices. What I really want is a complete iPhone but without only the AT&T radio crap and contract. Everything else… GPS (not AGPS), microphone, camera, decent speaker, should still be in there. The current touch is maddeningly like so many things Apple makes… it is ALMOST what it should really be.

I just don’t understand why they’d keep that ugly wifi “window” in the iPod touch. The iPhone doesn’t have it so obviously it’s not needed. Why not produce the new iPod touches the same way the iPhones are – wouldn’t this cut down on production costs? I mean, just produce an iPhone without the cellular phone capabilities, no?
