@chrismessina@specialperson32 yet/ever. Wifi + literally thousands of voip/messaging apps to choose from makes the iPod Touch a very capable device.

@chrismessina Yes, for the kids. But also for all those that hate the idea of a smartphone and want to have their entire music library - that took years to import into iTunes from CDs - available to listen to anytime anywhere. Obviously, the demand isn't all too crazy, but it's nice to see Apple hasn't completely abandoned the iPod. Sure, they don't care enough about it to change up the design, but at least they care enough to keep it alive and up to date with iOS performance.
I think it's great if you don't want to use your phone or don't have a stereo.

any other answer except for 'for my kids' ? Would an android phone user buy this as a complementary item eg for iphone only apps? Do ipods have facetime for instance ?
A welcome update to the processor but is there really that much demand still for these?

Must be a lot to announce at WDCX that they had to release these and the Macbook Pro refresh early...

so what are all of the updated features of the new one because I think the old ones were awesome!

Minor upgrade -- a 2016 chip set -- after 7 years since last iteration... U$600.
Total pisstake to see if the market falls for it because.. Apple profits come first.
It used to be an iconic product when it was first launched and saved a static industry that presently relies on streaming.
Ain't no kids on the advertising strategy and that argument doesn't fly at all. High quality uselessness, cheap to produce and obscene profit margins.
Nope.
