    I bought my ipod classic 2 yrs ago, and I saw recently that in the latest lineup of new Apple products that they seem to have dropped the ipod classic. If my current ipod broke or got lost I would be really upset as I have a large music collection on my ipod. Just wandering should I buy a new Ipod Classic now before current stocks run out, any thoughts?
    Will Apple bring out a new version of an ipd with the same memory size?

    There were a couple of threads recently about it. Search "classic"

    The spinning disk ihas been declared dead and has been for quite some time by those in Cupertino and rightly so.

    I'd get yourself to a store and buy one now because they ain't coming back.

    Anyone any guesses why they haven't updated the iPod Touch to keep up with current iPhones?

    Probably a mass of parts they want to get rid of before updating.

    I'd love to see an iPod touch with 128Gb storage and bumped up to the A7/8 but I doubt we'll see that either.

    I think next year they might go with a 5.5 inch iPod touch with A9 or A8, perfect gaming device!

    I dunno, I mean Apple has never been about gaming, they always just seem to fall into it.

    Look at the apple tv, stick a A8 in that have iPhones as controllers and bam you've got a $99 gaming console that sits between a PS3 and PS4 in terms of graphics level, but they don't seem that interested in it.
