Good news flowing in from the Apple stable doesn't seem to cease!
After a string of new product announcements and updates lately, the company has now announced doubling the storage capacity of its star products -- the iPhone and the iPod Touch.
Rumors about a 16GB iPhone had been floating around the Internet for quite some time; Apple has been rather quick to gratify them. The iPhone, which is yet to officially step into the Indian market, will now be available in 16GB capacity, along with the earlier available capacity of 8GB.
The iPod Touch, on the other hand, has its capacity doubled to 32GB, and will be available along with its existing 8GB- and 16GB- variants. Both iPhone and iPod Touch models with memory upgrades will include the latest software updates -- the ones that were released at the MacWorld 2008 last month.
These updates include Mail, Maps, Stocks, Notes, and Weather applications, in addition to the ability to customize the home screen. Other features will remain unchanged in all the memory-upgraded models. Besides, people who own earlier models of the products will be able to receive the new software updates for an additional price.
Meanwhile, the 16GB iPhone is available for $499, just $100 more than the existing 8GB version. And, the 32GB iPod Touch is priced at $499, again $100 more than the existing 16GB variant. The pricing of existing capacity models for both products will remain unchanged.
