It's a silent refresh. I don't think they are pretending it's new at all.

New SE for £100? where please!
They keep using same old designs and just cpu upgrades and not even that good anyways
Kinda wish they'd discontinue the iPod touch line, and make an iPhone Voice + Cell Data, Cell Data only, and a WiFi only version. I could see that simplifying R&D.
Seriously! that was my initial thought, a design from 2012... the least they could do is update the design a bit.
Someone always has to complain, kids don’t care about bezels...
Upgraded camera in there as well I believe, with backside illumination
Great price on a 7, Apple’s at $449. Where can I get one?
You're right. Kids don't seem to care about anything these days.
This brings all iOS devices Apple sells to the A10, I’m starting to believe the rumor that the SE and 6S will be dropped with iOS 13
How would this differ from what they're doing? The iPod Touch line is already an iPhone minus the cellular data... if you want an iPod Touch with cellular data, then you're just talking about an iPhone... buy an older generation iPhone if you specifically want the lower price point... this thing is identical to the iPhone 7, so just get an old one of those.
For those asking who is the customer or why no redesign, probably don't realize Apple sells a large number of these devices in to the retail and customer service industry. Several companies make sleds that can act as bar code readers and/or POS credit card terminals. By not changing the form factor, companies don't have to wait for the sled manufacturers to update their product.
Good industrial designs remain good.An Unibody MacBook from 2009 still looks modern in 2019.
Would you pay $800 for an iPhone XS without cellular? I think that's probably the extreme low end of the pricing if all they do is remove a modem.
Sorry. I just got an Redmond Note 5 about two weeks ago. At 179 Canadian Dollar.
32GB iPod Touch starts at 249 Canadian... Like other Apple Product, this is way overpriced

Buy an iPhone 7 on Amazon instead and don’t activate cellular. Better deal than this IMO.
Dude, it’s an excellent device for $200
perhaps if they removed the cameras it could shave some cost and have a nicer slim/no bezel design.
I like the iPod, I don't use many apps on my iPhone and frankly use my iPhone less and upgrade even less. for the price point (for me) its better to snag a cheap low storage iPhone and get an iPod with more storage for music consumption.

Not a chance. Apple sold the 6S for most of 2018, no way they drop software support in 2019.
