Let’s face it, the latest generation iPods are pretty old and if you’re looking into buying one, you should wait it out a little longer. According to a French blog, iGen.fr, a new generation iPod touch with a 64-bit processor may be around the corner. The iPod nano and iPod shuffle should only be receiving a cosmetic change according to the rumor.

The fifth-generation iPod touch was released in October 2012 and  featured a 32-bit Apple A5 processor. In June 2014, Apple slightly updated the model with new storage configurations, getting rid of 32/64GB configurations in favor of 16/32GB configurations with a slight price tweak.

The calendar app shown in the new iPods shows Tuesday the 14. We’re not sure if this was done purposely, or if it has no meaning at all. The grand question though is the iPod still relevant in this day and age?

On Tuesday, Apple released iTunes 12.2 for Mac and PC to support Apple Music. Within the iTunes update, images of new iPod colors have surfaced which may indicate Apple is planning to refresh the iPod lineup soon. This image appears when plugging in a new iPod via USB for the first time.

The image shows off a dark blue iPod touch, a gold/beige iPod nano and a light pink iPod shuffle. These color offerings are not available to purchase through Apple. It’s worth noting that the loop  bracelet is missing on the back, which is on the current version of the iPod touch.

Apple hasn’t updated its iPod images since 2013, when the company removed the “slate” color from its lineup. Previously, Apple has updated its iPod lineup in September, alongside the iPhone. But, in recent years, it seems as the iPod lineup has been neglected as the line hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. Apple has also removed the iPod header from their website.

iLounge has gotten their hands on a brand new, 4th generation iPod Shuffle and has posted some unboxing and comparison photos. The new iPod Shuffle is smaller than its predecessor, but still offers a clip on the back to provide users with significant flexibility in attaching the device to their clothing. The new iPod Shuffle offers 2 GB of storage for $49 and is available in five colors. Here’s some of the photos, but click here for more.
