Pre-order for 5th-Gen iPod Touch starts at Php16,490

The Apple Philippines Online Store has put up the iPod Touch 5G for pre-order. The price starts at Php16,490 for the 32GB model.

Only the 32GB and the 64GB of the iPod Touch are now available for the 5th-generation models.

For the first time, Apple has introduced more colors (aside from the white and black) — blue, yellow, pink and the Product Red.

The 32GB model will sell for Php16,490 while the 64GB model sells for Php21,990. The items are set to be shipped this October but there’s no exact date.

What’s interesting is that Apple actually indicated how much the GST and fees are — Php3,867 for the 32GB and Php5,164 for the 64GB.

      Definitely, with it’s specs I’ m sure it will run smoother than its baby brother, iTouch 4G. Now I can finally retire my old iTouch and buy this baby. Maybe November is a good time buying this since there is still no news for its tethered jailbreak. I can wait for a few months.Heheh!

    Mas mahal pa to sa Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Pero walang expandable storage. Mas maliit ang screen. Tapos pahirapan pa maglipat ng media files sa iTunes.

    Kapresyo na na Galaxy Tab 2. 7.0 na may full phone functionalities at 3g capabilities na.

      Galaxy tab 2 is a tablet, mp3 player naman si itouch, those are the main features nung 2 devices.
      According to preference and usage pa din, di naman ok na dala mo sa funrun si tab, mas ok si touch and pwede mo pa ilagay sa bulsa.. pricey nga lang kesa sa tab 2

    • Avatar for tmcr7 tmcr7 says:

      Papi, yung orig na ipod medyo mahirap na dalhin kapag jogging. Umaalog alog sa braso o bulsa. Lalo na siguro ngayon nung lumaki ang screen.

    Given that it has the hardware similar to iPhone 4s, its worth the price.

    • Avatar for skylinerr34j skylinerr34j says:

      If thats the case then i must say the iphone4s is just overpriced for having one feature this does not have.telephony.anyway all apple products are just too overpriced.

    Just gonna wait to be sold locally. Buying from apple online is too expensive and the gst goes to corrupt officials anyway.

    before you go flying out of the proverbial door to buy one… have you guys considered the new 5th gen iPod will need the new connector used by the iPhone5. This means this device will NOT be compatible to all existing previous model iPod/iPhone devices like speaker docks, car headunits, etc.

    Or did I get it wrong and this device still uses the same standard connector??

    • Avatar for namen namen says:

      Easy. Just purchase a Lightning adapter. $30 lang naman. Cheapy.

      GST means goods and services tax, if anyone’s asking.

    • Avatar for Edu Edu says:

      Yes, it uses the same lightning Connector as iPhone 5. It is shipped with the unit. You can still use those old speaker dock or any gadget that was used from previous iPod version by using the 30pin to lightning adaptor

    • Avatar for John John says:

      What’s your point exactly ? If you have an bought iPhone 4s, for example, it has a 30 pin adaptor for it. So has the iPhone 5. And, what do you mean by “headunit” ?

    • Avatar for GhostHunter GhostHunter says:

      $30 = PHP1,260.00 for each adapter…

      That is how much more money Apple is milking out of your wallets by using proprietary connectors on their “new” devices. Honestly, Apple didn’t need to use a different connector but in their quest for more money from all their loyal fans, they did use a “new” connector so that Apple will make hundreds of millions of dollars just from people buying new cables and connector adapters for the “new” iPhone5. And that will also spin into a new generation of iPhone5/iPod5 accessories as well.

      And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the marketing spin for the Apple iPhone5.

    • Avatar for lol lol says:

      ^ Wow we have an engineer that knows better than Apple ladies and gentlemen!

      Lol. Do you honestly think they would achieve that thinness with their old connector?? Have you seen how thin the new Nano is?? Have you dissected an Apple product and saw how big the components of their old connector was?? Yeah, I thought so.

      If Apple was after the people’s money, then they could’ve change their connectors every year! Do you know how long they’ve used the old connector? Yup, nine (9) years. Lol and do you honestly think 3rd party accessories won’t make their own adapters with the fraction of the cost? Please, do some research before posting here. It makes you sound stupid.

    • Avatar for Ghosthunter Ghosthunter says:

      @lol

      Apple made their plugs proprietary, so only those licensed by Apple can manufacture them (or pay Apple a royalty).

      Profit is Apple’s game.

      Stop commenting, it’ll just make yourself look even more stupid.

      You’re forgetting the fact that the Chinese will create cheap knockoffs in no time. And they work well, too.

    • Avatar for ghosthunter ghosthunter says:

      I am not forgetting the chinese copies. But real hardcore Apple fans will still buy millions of original cables and cable adapters.

      Apple will rake in millions of dollars on top of it’s Apple iPhone5 sales in sales of iPhone5 accessories and royalties from 3rd party companies manufacturing them.
