iPod Touch 6th Gen News: Device to Be Released at October 2014 Apple Event?
The unveiling of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus marks the first time that Apple has released a new iPhone without updating its iPod Touch line. There are rumors that the sixth generation of the iPod Touch could be released this month on the same date that the Cupertino-based company launches the new iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3.
