You are right.
I do miss that old iPod classic, though. That iPod classic should be the very first Apple product I was using. The storage space was just awesome. I used it to store some other files, featuring this iPod classic as an ultra (at that time) portable HDD.
I now use a 128GB iPhone 6 Plus, with far better spec, and far better functionality. But sometimes I just want to return to the start point of a thing, such as music. iPod classic is just such device, perfectly fitting our need to Just listening to music, and do nothing else.
All that really needs to happen with the iPod touch is an updated processor for the latest apps.
Yes they did "update" the Touch once with just new colors before. I'm pretty much over the Touch now and would rather get a new iPad mini gen4 but if they upgraded the Touch substantially with touch ID and a new processor I would give it a serious look but then again I doubt that will happen.
I think it's the right balance of portability and usability for some people. When it comes to music playback.
Holy crap they really need to update the iPod Touch line. I know too many people who want an iPod to be in the iOS ecosystem, but don't want or can't afford a smartphone. They want a portable "phone like" device like the iPod, and don't want an iPad mini. They are stuck with this really old, aging device that Apple just won't update. It's annoying watchi them suffer through that.
To be honest I thought they would get rid of the iPod touch. I mean what the point if you have a iPhone. I guess for kids who want a iPod and are not old enough for a phone its a pretty cool device. They just don't seem to sell that many.
Might be completely wrong but some Beats Headphones come in these colours. Maybe Apple want to colour match iPods and Beats Headphones?
That would make sense now that you've mentioned that.
Actually, it's the week after next. But good catch nonetheless.
An iPhone, duh! It's only $500-700 more expensive and comes with a monthly data plan.
I'd buy an iPhone 6+ sized iPod Touch even with an iPhone 6+ in my pocket. Especially if the Product Red looks just as good as that blue.
I do and I'll be buying the Touch 6 when it comes out this fall.
I agree, but I feel like it's more likely Apple would just drop the price of the iPod Touch to $149.
Good. The pastels were nauseating. The only color that looked good was the Red.
I liked them all, but I like that too.
Wish they'd do the phones in nice colours too (my favourite iPhone design is the 5C, I just wish that design was available with modern hardware).
Incidentally, anyone else think the nice colours of the 5Cs would better suite a white panel, rather than a black one? I do, and I'd also prefer the black front panel on the silver aluminium. Wouldn't it be great if Apple did a pick'n'mix?
We have one for my son because it's more easily dropped into his diaper bag than his iGuy-clad iPad, but given Apple's inattention to this product for several years I'll be surprised if it gets a significant update before deletion.
Yeah, I think a phone is becoming less of a thing for young teens because:
- Parents often ask the teen to contribute to the monthly cost. I know I do.
- Teens do 99% of their peer communication via apps. Only us old dinosaur parents actually "talk" on the phone or send "texts" anymore. Indeed, having an iPod touch that doesn't support incoming messages from parents might even be preferred!
When I was a teenager, I preferred using phone, whether iPhone or not. I just love old but solid way to communicate.Yeah, I think a phone is becoming less of a thing for young teens because:

I use app, but I use safari quite a lot.
