We asked for some time now if Apple would abandon the iPod, and today we are even more confused on this. As reported MacRumors, the new image appeared on iTunes 12.2 after the arrival of Apple Music, indicating that Apple may eventually release some new iPods this year. Indeed, apparently Apple Music is not the only exciting thing about the new version of iTunes.

The image, which appears when the restoration or establishment of an iPod on iTunes 12.2, iPod shows new colors, including an iPod Nano in gold, a dark blue iPod Touch and iPod Shuffle bright pink - the colors that are not available in the current range. Another resource file in the iTunes program directory shows the iPod Nano in the three grades mentioned above.
Apple iPod completely neglected since the end of 2012. Why Apple has waited so long to release new iPod, you might wonder? Unsatisfied with the sales figures, most likely. IPod sales have declined every quarter since 2009, and they have plunged sharply in January. Sales dropped by 52% compared to the same period of the previous year. It is a self-inflicted injury, the firm has recognized in 2009, stating that it expected a drop in sales of its traditional MP3 player due to the cannibalization of the iPhone.
Only cosmetic?
While there is no confirmation that the image actually shows new iPod, which could simply be a big mistake, because it is part of the update of iTunes, we are inclined to think that 'there will be some new iPod in no time. Apple has unveiled new iPod in the month of September, so this is perhaps an appointment that the Cupertino company will provide up to date alongside his iPhone 6S .
In April, rumors suggested Apple would update its famous mobile media player, since there was a long time since the company had not released a new album without its iPod range. But as you know, we have not seen these, and this upgrade suggested by iTunes can be only cosmetic. Now that Apple Music was launched to the public, the technology giant may be planning to launch a new music player to accompany it.
