How Does iPod touch 4 know There's an Update Available?

Today my iPod touch 4 showed a banner announcing '2 new updates were available!' How does it know there's an update available? I use the iPod every single day and I know wi-fi is off, bluetooth is off, airplane mode is on, and the iPod has not been synced in at least 4 months. It never gets connected to the internet, okay, well, maybe it was like Oct, 2011, but not since then. How do it know there's an update, and why now? iOS 6.1.6 Not jailbroke.

Thanks for your reply, but where did you get the idea I wanted to update anything at all? I wanted to know how the iPod knew there was an update to install. One of Apple's mysterious and secret backdoors?


I don't care if the 4th gen iPod touch has been stuck or has not been stuck for 1.5 years, I have no desire to upgrade.
