Three years have passed since Apple launched the 7th generation iPod touch.Originally, it's time for the next iPod touch 8 to appear.
However, there are no rumors that iPod touch 8 will appear.The tech media "9to5mac" predicts that "the new iPod touch does not appear, and it is left until the iPod touch 7 does not support the latest iOS version."

Apple can say "do not put out iPod touch 8"
It is not surprising to predict "9to5mac".In the first place, rumors of the abolition of the iPod series had been flowing for many years before "iPod Touch 7" appeared.Rather, it was strange that the new model came out.
The iPod has played a very important role in Apple's history.The iPod has become a major music player in the younger generation, which has led to the promotion of sales of other products such as Apple MacBook and IMAC.
However, Apple has abandoned this strong product himself.When launching the iPhone in 2007, Apple advertises that the iPhone has a built -in iPod.In other words, he said, "If you buy an iPhone, you don't have to buy an iPod."
The aim of Apple at this time was to market the iPhone as "the best mobile phone in history" and "the best iPod in history."This makes users happy to pay $ 500 that is not cheap.
◇ End of the role of iPod touch
As Apple's expected, the number of iPods has been declining since the iPhone appeared.In 2014, the iPod Classic ended in 2017, and the iPod Nano and SHUFFLE ended, and the iPod approached the end.
The update of "iPod Touch 7" may have been the purpose of spreading the younger generation as an alternative to the high -priced iPhone.However, Apple is currently making the "iPhone SE" series standard, and the inexpensive iOS device is being lost.
In fact, it is rumored that the iPhone SE 3 will appear in March or April of this year, and it has been leaked to be a cheap terminal for 5G.The possibility that Apple will release the "iPod Touch 8" that updates the processor is not necessarily zero, but the possibility that the iPod series will be completely terminated is higher.
