Why hasn't apple given a exact release date for the iPod Touch 5G?

I don't get why the iPhone and iPod couldn't have just been released at the same day. What are your thoughts on why they chose to release the iPod Touch 5G a month after the iPhone 5?

Well, that isn't going to work in my case... I've ordered the iPod Touch 5 as a replacement for my iPhone 4, since I rarely use mobile 3/4G internet, what with so many WiFi Hotspots available that are both faster and cheaper. The new iPod Touch 5 plus a simple cell phone will do fine, thank you very much, at about half the fixed and variable costs...

  • Why hasn't apple set an official release date on the new ipod touch 5th generation?

    I was really happy to preorder the new Ipod touch and thinking it was going to be shipped when the iPhone came out. But why do we have to wait until october ?

    Correction the ANNOUNCED it on the 12th of september.
    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

  • Why won't apple make a special ios 7 for 4g ipod touch

    Im very disappointed in apple right now they had me all excited about ios and they never even tried to make it for ipod touch 4g. Is my ipod going to end up like the iPhone 3, and all the older stuff. If it does i will eventually switch over to microsoft and google.

    The hardware, as has been said here many times already, will not support iOS 7. Apple would have to strip so much out of iOS 7 to make it run effectively on a fourth-gen iPod touch that you would basically just have iOS 6 with different icons and fonts.
    As to switching to Microsoft and Google, by all means do so if you feel they'd serve you better, but Android and Windows Phone are far worse about supporting old hardware than Apple is with iOS, so check carefully before you buy.
    Regards.

  • Did i miss the actually release date of the iPod touch 5th Gen?

    Did they announce a specific date or only in October?

    Because other online stores say they are due Oct 15, Apple would surely release them at least a week before that. Hopefully they are relased this week. You may have noticed that if you go to buy an iPod touch 5 from the online apple store, the status has gone from "pre-prder" to "buy now."

  • I am aware that the iPod Touch 5g has no official date yet, on the site it only says: Available to ship: October. But, does anyone know what a possible, date for the iPod to be released? :)

    Well, I recently checked apple.com, and the "pre-order" button has been replaced with the "buy now" button. This is a very good sign that the iPods will begin to ship soon! There is still no exact date, but I expect that they will ship within the next 3 days. You should get an email when they have shipped.
    Take care!

  • If i have a shattered ipod touch 4th ggeneration and i trade it in at Apple Store for the ipod touch 5th generation Will they take it even though it is shattered? and will  i get my 10% recycling thing?

    If i have a shattered ipod touch 4th ggeneration and i trade it in at Apple Store for the ipod touch 5th generation Will they take it even though it is shattered? and will  i get my 10% recycling thing?

    As far as recycling, they will take one, dead or alive, so I assume a shattered one would qualify just as well.

  • Why don't USB stereo audio input devices work with  the iPod Touch 4G?

    The Fostex AR-4i and the Line6 Mobile In provide stereo audio input via USB on the iPads and the iPhone 4.
    Why can't these devices work on an iPod Touch 4G?

    Does the manufactur say it works with the iPod Touch?  Many accessories do not work with all three iDevices (iPod Touch, iPad and iPhone)

  • Apple Radio Remote doesn't work with the iPod Touch?!

    In the Future it will be possible to use the iPod touch with the radio remote. About a week before on the apple store site the radio remote was supported by the iPod touch.

    Better than the Apple radio/remote.
    Works with my (1st gen) iPod Touch.
