    All the iPod touch needs is an A7 processor and you can stick a fork in it. A8 would be golden then they can hold off for another 3 years.

    Why buy an iPod at all? Buy a used iPhone 4s or 5 and use it as an iPod. 

    And have crappy battery life.

    What are the chances they'll be priced lower?

    Surely a 16gb nano shouldnt be more than $99.

    When will the iPod classic be replaced with a high capacity touch?, current market price for discontinued classics 160GB are $400.  I find it ridiculous a lot of us have huge music libraries with no option to the classic capacity.  Get it together Apple, basic features just to play music is enough, we need a replacement or else moving to alternatives.

    Couldn't agree more on this.  Luckily I bought an extra iPod Classic the day they were discontinued, just to have one for "backup".  People still go on road trips, camping, cottages, etc, all kinds of places where "the cloud" either isn't accessible, doesn't have a stable connection, or wireless data rates would run up a crazy bill streaming, but they still want their music/podcast/audiobook library with them (or at least a portion of it too large to fit on an iPhone or current iPod).

     

    I find it amusing that other than your comment, every other "wish list" comment in this thread for a new iPod didn't list storage size.

     

    At least twice a year we go on very long road trips, and having a full iPod classic is a sanity saver.

    The new blue and gold tones are absolutely awesome. I have no idea why they stuck with the current iPod touch colours for so long. They are truly horrible.

    Changing the color does not equal updating them. There are a lot of reasons why they might choose to change the paint scheme being used for a product that is still being manufactured.

    Where to even begin.

     

    1) An iPhone has never been hard to get. Completely false. In the early days of iPhone, it was only available on AT&T, it was insanely expensive unless purchased with a 2 year contract, which requires you be 18 or older with a decent credit history. It was NOT easy for all people to purchase. However, a lot of people wanted in on the Pocket Internet device with the satisfying touch screen, and mobile games. The iPod touch sold millions to people WITHOUT iPhones. 

     

    Now that hundreds of millions of people buy iPhones every year, the need that existed for the iPod touch has completely vanished. The only market for the iPod touch is young children...and it is in many cases cheaper/better decision to get them an old iPhone rather than a new iPod touch.
