Current iPod SKUs are discontinued, new iPods around the corner

Apple Authorized Resellers are reporting to Ars Technica that the current stock of iPods are not being replenished, and that there will indeed be a new line of iPods introduced in the very near future. With Apple’s iPod event all but set to be September 9th, this comes as no surprise, as Apple has updated their iPod line in September the past several years. The question is what, not when.

The most consistent rumor has been, for weeks now, that Apple will add cameras to both the iPod touch and iPod nano—both of these rumors have been widely accepted. New word has emerged that the iPod classic will also receive a camera, as the Taiwanese DigiTimes wrote that “OmniVision will be the sole supplier of 3.2-megapixel CIS [CMOS Image Sensor] products for new iPod nano, iPod classic and iPod Touch models, which will be launched in September, the sources indicated.” Other rumors suggest that the iPod nano will get a slightly larger screen, and the iPod touch will have a larger storage capacity across the board.

Apple should announce some great new iPods on the 9th. All that, plus iTunes 9 and perhaps the “iPad” are all sure to bring Apple their regular immense amount of holiday season success.
