Why can't my iPod touch 4th Gen update to iOS 7?

I have an iPod touch 4th generation (8GB). Now, it's running iOS 6.1.4. I really want iOS 7. Please any help? I don't have the money to get iPhone 5 for now.

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.3, 4th Generation

iOS 7 isn't out yet, as far as I know. Although once it comes out I can't be sure if the iPod Touch 4th Gen will be able to update to it or not, as it may not be compatible with outdated products.

Apple has not said why the 4G iPod will not get iOS 7. However,

All the iOS devices compatible with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

For compatible devices see the bottom of:

Wait, I'm sorry. What do you mean by memory? I've seen that iPod touch 4 is just like iPhone 4. Both of them are A4 right? Do you think itouch 4 will get iOS 7? And when will iphone 5S be released?

Both the iPhone 4 and 4G iPod touch use the same processor (A4). However, the iPhone 4 has 512 MB of memory (RAM) while the 4G iPod only has 256
