Got any links to rumors supporting the ipod nano 8 and iPod Touch 6 for late 2015? Last I heard/read was that interview were tim cook said ipods are a declining market, but I’d still love to get one (either a shuffle or nano) for general fitness without having to lug around my phone.

Hi.

I have not heard anything about future iPods. Perhaps the Watch will take over this market.
