According to supply chain blog Macotakara, the iPod touch could be making a comeback and the 2019 iPhones may join the USB-C charging port craze.
Four years after the last iPod Touch was launched, word is spreading about the possibility of a seventh-generation model coming out, according to Macotakara who spoke with several Apple suppliers Tuesday.
Additionally, the very brief blog post stated that “the next iPhone might also employ a USB-C connector,” though the final design has not yet been confirmed.
Some may find it surprising that at this stage of the game that Apple is still selling the 2015 iPod touch, considering the average smartphone’s ability to house impressive libraries of tunes; not even the nano or shuffle are still in production.
This limits the Apple-branded options of younger users who may not yet be allowed to own a smart device to have a music player.
Considering that the latest iPad Pros have made the shift to USB-C, it’s not too far-fetched to presume that the next iPhones could join the fad as well, and since the iPod Touch is still on the market, it’s about due for a refresh.
