When will the iPod Touch 6th generation be released?

In the past the new iPods were announced in the separate iPad/Mac computer event that is typically in October.

Is the new iPod touch 6th generation in october or november?

Your guess is as good as anyone else's. Since Apple did not announce any iPods last Thursday likely there will be none in the near future but I could be wrong,

Hey Reshaun, Not to be a party pooper-- and I want say right now, I don't know anything more than anyone else, But, this wouldn't be the first time Apple quietly let a model slip away. There's an old saying, "If it makes no sense... Follow the money". iPod sales are down, iPhone and iPad sale are up and iOS 8 appears to work better with iPhones and iPads. With that said, may explain why there is no new news for the iPod touch. Make of it what you will. Cheers.

I want a 128gb ipod touch to replace my 1st generation, 32gb ipod touch. Memory is full. Hurry it up Apple!

I want an Ipod touch 6g Pleaseeee apple Please!!! Is so little yet so cool because you don't have to worry about any phone contracts and that is so nice plus you can play games and stuff ahhhhh Please 😁

I'm deathly afraid that Apple is silently killing off the iPod touch line. My iPod is getting old and I don't want to buy one if a new one might come out...

They are not killing off the iPod touch line. Haven't you heard the rumors of Apple holding onto the iPhone 5/5s/5c sized screen phone as a lower end iPhone? This does not make sense when you think like Tim thinks, Tim wants as few SKUs as humanly possible (As you can see with the Mac Mini release that used the same logic board for the low and high end because the engineers were told to use a low price processor for the low end machine with a processor interface that was the exact same as the model that would be the top end Mac Mini. This is what led to the previous generation's top model posting much better specs than the more current model and getting a premium price in the marketplace. This was the first time that a new edition of a product did not degrade my feeling of my one of my current Macs (Mac Mini Server top i7 quad).

So while Apple may in fact be keeping around a 5c screen sized iPhone for certain markets, I would be willing to bet that this is also the basis of the upcoming new iPod Touch. It will renew a product line with updated Memory Choices (Read: 16GB/64GB//256GB). They are now trying to force the customer to purchase upward based on large gaps in memory choices (it costs Apple a negligible amount for the added memory versus the price they can demand). This is proving a money maker on the iPhone 6/6+ Sales, and I don't see them changing it anytime soon.

As for timing, it will be the first hardware announcement at WWDC followed by the 11" Retina MacBook Air as the "One More Thing." The newly updated iPhone based on the new iPod Touch for the lower cost markets will be a silent release put up on the website following the keynote. My guess anyway.

Well, at this point, does anyone have any hint at all to a possible date to look for? March 2015? September 2015? 2016? I feel like Apple is trying to get as much use out of the iPod touch 5th generation as possible, though. There should've been something out by now, it's been 2 1/2 years since a new iPod touch came out.

It could be that it is discontinued.

I don't know. Why doesn't Apple say anything then? Or, is this how they would discontinue a product?
