2 months ago I would have been excited over news of new ipods. but after getting a used iPhone 5 unlocked as a gift, i plan on saving up for the iphone 7 unlocked and using it as an ipod.

I use a karma device as my mobile internet

I use iPhone 6 Plus as a huge iPod mostly. And also, I use it for game playing.
 
Actually, it's the week after next. But good catch nonetheless.
If they really are updated (not just color palette swaps) on the 14th, you better believe I'm going out to the nearest Apple Store and buying one that day, two days before my trip this summer. :D
 
Unless they upgrade these ipods to decent mobile mediaplayer memory space at decent prices, there's really no point in iPods anymore.

What I'm going to do with just 8GO of music on a nano with no interface? What am I gonna do with 16GB on an iPod Touch?
 
How about Bluetooth on shuffle would be great with wireless headphones for jogging if you don't have the apple watch
 
Crud. I was hoping for an iPod Touch Plus size with Touch ID and updated internals. Looks like at least two of those things aren't happening.
 
the current nano is hideous, my favorite is 4th gen

I preferred the 5th gen better because of the camera and speaker.

You and me both. I'll be giving this iPod a pass and looking for a used iPhone 6 Plus. I want the larger screen but not the iPad Mini which I already own.

I have this feeling that both the iPod touch and iPod nano may get larger local memory storage. A 128 GB iPod touch or a 32 GB iPod nano? Count me in! :D

I absolutely loved the coloring of the 4th gen nano (and look). However, I do prefer the metallic coloring of the 5th gen, which is what I have. Looking back, I wish I would have gotten the purple or blue because my yellow looks horrible in certain lighting...
 
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.
People forget things like stores like Target that use these as handheld computers. They certainly don't need to be iPhones!
 
I would simply LOVE to see an iPod nano with iOS / App support - or at least a web browser and Apple Music + WiFi support. Heck. An iPod nano + 3G CDMA/HSPA+ would be amazing. Always on streaming in my car for $15/month for cellular + Apple Music
