The 7th generation iPod Touch is eligible for iOS 15.5 which was released yesterday. This is primarily a user-to-user support forum; other Apple users like you. We don't have information about unannounced future plans.

You can load music onto the Watch and listen without the iPhone being anywhere nearby. Admittedly, it's still not an iPod Touch, more like a Nano. But, if what you need is to be able to listen to some music while you're taking a run or working in the yard, and you already have a Watch or were considering getting one, it's something to think about.


And yes, I was being a bit sarcastic. My larger point is that it seems unlikely that the iPod will rise from the ashes. Sales have been on the decline for years.
