Question

Am I the only one who finds it upsetting that the Ipod 4th Generation can not upgrade to iOS 7?

I mean literally Ipod 4th Generations are still in style and will be probably for a couple more years. So I feel that since that is true 4th Generations should be compatible with iOS 7. I mean even the first Beta would be okay too. And there's a lot of number between iOS 6.1.3, so can't you at least give us like a iOS 6.5.0? Like just because you came out with something new doesn't mean you can completely forget about a still in style product.

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.3

Sine the iPod touch 4th generation is using the a4 chip. It cannot handle iOS 7. Its sad but we have to live with it. Many iphone 4 users are complaining on how slow their phone is becoming. But ios 7 is a great piece of software but needs better hardware. Dont worry ipods still have a long way to go.

It is not because of the A4 chip. The iPhone 4, which also has the A4 chip gets iOS 6.

As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.

All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
