With that in mind, it’s not a huge stretch of the imagination to assume Apple will debut a 7th-generation version of the device in 2017. If Apple is adopting this design for the iPhone, it’s only a small leap to apply it to an iPod Touch too.Īpple typically follows a 2-3 year release cycle for iPod models, with the iPod Touch arriving in the following years: It’s heavily rumoured that the new iPhone will feature facial recognition as a way to eschew fingerprint scanning, which makes it possible to fill more of the front of the phone with screen. This could be an early sign that Apple may be working on a brand new iPod, which touts similar facial recognition systems to the upcoming iPhone, but the doubters shouldn’t be discounted either, as Cupertino has started to retire a number of its most iconic iPod models. The new iPhone 8 is tipped to get a 3D facial recognition system on the front to allow face-based user authentication, but existing iPod models aren’t equipped with the technology. It’s still currently possible to buy an iPod Touch from Apple, although there’s no current face-unlocking feature.

In the GM it says "Unlock you iPod with your Face" in one of the strings for Prolific tipster Benjamin Geskin has spent some time digging in the iOS 11 code, and discovered a line that reads “Unlock your iPod with your face”, in a string for the setup.app file. We’ve seen all manner of titbits uncovered from the Gold Master iOS 11 leak – that’s the official general release version, coming to users shortly – but nothing has surprised us as much as this. The latest surprise revelation comes via an iOS 11 final build leak, and hints at the possibility of a brand new Apple iPod. Apple could launch a brand new 7th-gen iPod music player at its iPhone 8 launch event later today, rumours suggest – though the waters just got a bit muddier.
