Not that it needs the same power as today's iPhones as it doesn't have a SIM card, and no cellular connectivity option.

Powering the 7th gen iPod Touch is Apple's A10 Fusion chip, which debuted in 2016's iPhone 7 series. There's even a home button (although no Touch ID). The iPod Touch rocks that retro-Apple chic, with the curvier design of the iPhone 6 (albeit in a slimmer frame) married to the 4-inch, 640 x 1136 display we last saw on the original iPhone SE in 2016. Apple is just not making it easy to find.īut who wants to buy a 2019 iPod Touch almost three years after it was released? The answer is - probably - hardly anyone. The iPod Touch is in stock on the Apple website and you can purchase it right now. And notice I did.Ĭlick through and yes, you get the full product page for the iPod Touch, the price (it starts at $199 / £199 / AU$299 for the 32GB model in case you were wondering) and there’s even the option to buy it. Sitting there, waiting, wishing for a visit. There it was, the iPod Touch product page. I wanted to be thorough so I took to the search bar and typed 'iPod', fully expecting to be rebuffed once again.

The iPhone XR was quietly retired after the iPhone 13 launch, and I wouldn't be surprised if iPhone 11 is met with a similar fate post- iPhone 14 announcement.īut back to the iPod. I'm left thinking Apple's probably quietly removed the iPod Touch from sale - it's a classic move the Cupertino, California-based firm loves to do, usually just after a launch event where older generations of products are silently retired without mention. There's not even a passing mention of Apple's famed music player in the main 'Store'. I end up clicking through all the menu options, but none get me any closer to the iPod. There is an 'Accessories' option, but there's still no sign of the iPod here. Apple TV and HomePod Mini are the only hardware on offer here. TV & Home could be a left-field place to house iPod, but again clicking through drew another blank. I figured 'AirPods' could be an option, seeing as there's a musical connection there, but clicking it gave me a sub menu that only showed the firm’s headphones selection, plus Apple Music.
