Apple refreshes iPod line with the new 'Space Grey' colour

Even as Apple announced a couple of new iPhones at its event yesterday, it quietly added a new colour option for its iPod line of products as well. While it wasn’t spoken about during the launch last night, the “Space Grey” colour that Apple showed off with the new iPhone 5S will be added to iPod too.

Now in a new Space Grey colour

The redone iPods have reportedly already hit Apple Stores at the same price as the old ones. The fact that Apple has decided to introduce a new colour instead of a whole new model to its iPod range points to the fact that the Cupertino-based company seems to have had a slight change in its priorities. The iPod line is not likely to see any upgrade in the near future. Even when Apple does decide to shift focus back to its music product, it is likely that only the Shuffle and the iPod Touch will be worked upon, the iPod Classic not having had seen an upgrade since 2009.
