It seems to me the 6 came out in 2015. The release sycle of the ipod

My five is also slugish. I just sold off my macbook and decided not to
replace it. That places me in thecentre of a technical conundrum. My
five is not only slow and old. The speaker and headphone jack are both
broken. I have an android phone, and I trade off frequently because of
each device does some things better than the other. Plus, I can't
always multitask. I can't talk on the phone and listen to baseball on
the same device at the same time for example.
So, for me, I feel like this ipod needs to be upgraded. I hate to pay
full price, but I don't want the screen space of an ipad or the added
cost. I think if I can get back to work an ipod touch will be a very
easy sell. I'll be fairly miffed if they completely discontinue ipod
touch before I can get one.
Best,
Erik

have enough reservations about the longevity of the 6, that I don't

2014, not 2015.

This rumor has been around for years. Lat time I investigated it, it
was about the ipod nano. I can believe they are going to discontinue
that. They might even discontinue the ipod touch but they'd probably
replace it with a small ipad. The ipod touch is much more like a
small, inexpensive ipad than it is like a nano. I don't know why they
call it an ipod.
I still have an ipod touch 4 which I use literally every day almost
from dawn to dusk. I use it as an alarm clock in the morning, as an
mp3 player while I'm working out, and for listening to books in the
evening.

The iPod 6 came out in July of 2015, so it's not really all that
outdated. I also suspect it will run the next iOS major release next
year, but that could very well be the last one. I really hope if they
discontinue the 6, that they will be replacing it with a newer model
instead of dropping it off of the market. When the Watch can run iOS
entirely, and only then, would I consider it a viable replacement. I
have no interest in a bulky iPad myself, but know I'm in the minority.

Hi Donna,
Yeah I've noticed that myself,
I have 3 iPods
A 16gb fifth gen,
A 64 gb fifth gen
And a 64 gig 6th gen
So the only one updated to IOS 10 is the sixth gen which I have my
audio
books on,
The 16gb fifth gen is the one I use as a cycle / training computer and
that's the one I'm thinking of replacing.
So replacing it will be the interesting thing, might have a look at a
slightly older phone like a 5 or 5s

Simon,
Depending on what your next upgrade path is, you might want to just
use an
old iPhone, or even by one used. If you get an iPod, it'll have
the A8
chip, as opposed to the A10 that is in the current model. It also
won't
have the W1 chip--or whatever it's called.) It'll also have a
longer shelf
life. One thing that has happened to me is that the 5th gen isn't
upgradable to IOS 10. I suspect that in a year or so, the 6th Gen
will stop
being upgradable as well. And, not that I've ever needed it, but I
figure
this way I'll have a backup if anything happens to my phone. I
know it
seems kind of like overkill, but I think if they're not going to
update the
iPod, that is the way I'm going to go.
Cheers,
Donna

That's interesting. It would absolutely never occur to me to

connecting to the cloud, or another device like an iPhone. Why
bother with that when you could just store your music directly on
the player? I'm thinking about things like long car trips here,
where you might not have WIFI, and you could burn through a lot of
data if you used your data connection. I think I'll stick with my
plan to keep an old phone as an iPod. :) Cheers, Donna

You may be wise. Tthe discussions I have seen is that Apple
want to
shift people away from using iPod to using an Apple Watch. I
have no
definite knowledge as to whether this is true but there seems
speculation that iPod development has ceased in favour of this
longer
term switch.
I went to the Apple Store in the UK and there is no mention of
the iPod
apart from its presence in a list of products described as
being in the
page "footer area".
The iPod is certainly not in the headlining products for the
Store now
so it seems it has at least shifted in priorities for marketing.

Chris,
Had you paid attention, you would have noticed that my
subject line
contained a question mark. One reason I brought the issue
to the
attention of the list is because I figured someone here
would have
better information than the guy from BestBuy. Last I
heard, asking
questions was allowed on this list. So hold your criticism.

whoever

this

like that.
Again, not blaming anyone here, just offering some
