An upgrade would also be conceivable and even necessary here in order to bring the iPod touch closer to the iPhone 6 models. As the amount of data is getting bigger and bigger, it is quite conceivable that Apple will release a more expensive variant with 128 GB. The iPod touch is currently only available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities. The internal storage could also get an upgrade. If Apple uses the A7 instead, as built into the iPhone 5s, this would be the first iPod touch with a 64-bit architecture. For example, the A6 SoC that powers the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c could be found in the next-generation iPod touch. And if Apple stays true to its tradition, the company will probably recycle some parts of the iPhones in the iPod touch. The timing for an iPod touch upgrade would actually be ideal, since Apple is currently working on the integration of its new music service Beats Music and will probably release it with iOS 8.4. The source cannot confirm this with certainty, but the assumption is not far-fetched, considering that insiders are even speculating about a 4-inch iPhone model, which will probably not be launched on the market until 2016 and not in autumn 2015 as originally assumed becomes. So the iPod touch could keep its 4 inch display. According to Apple insiders, who cite unspecified sources, this will soon change.
