How about a 5.5 inch iPod Touch. so it can basically be an iPad Mini...Mini.

[brodofaggins]

the "it's been way too long" definitely hints towards the iPod touch, as it is overdue for a refresh. I mean come on! even I can figure that out, but everyone completely ignores the iPod touch! why?!

[iwearleatherjackets]

"It's been way too long"? Not a reference to the iPod Touch, is it?

[teddybearproductions]

There might be a improved iPod touch 6th gen I think because it hasn't been updated in a long time.

[RaisesCom]

It's probably the ipod touch. Hence all the colors

[randrade]

That white chick has the most American accent I have ever heard.

@SethJones no, its Mac OS 10.10, which was announced back in June, so the new Macs would launch with 10.10 Yosemite

[WoWdOm]

just cracked the screen on my ipad last night. looking forward to this now.

I want new iPods. Hopefully a new iPod shuffle in which you can wirelessly sync playlists from an iPhone or iPad to the shuffle over Bluetooth or something.

[GAVO]

Ipodd, why do people dont care about ipod touch!

[boo]

Its been way too long since they had color shells for a mac (ala G3) maybe a plastic casing like the iphone 5C.

[MWDAdventures]

My kids want a new ipod touch.. come on apple

[TheProjectFunHouse]

My guess is that the rainbow color invitation is in regards to the iPod

[pokealex]

I know this sounds pretty stupid but I would love if the macbooks have external cameras on the lid. iPads have both internal and external so why not? 

[PromotingTheBeat]

lol what is it with people wanting new iPod's?

All they can really do is add the finger print sensor and maybe bump up the camera if anything. There's really not much else you can do to it.

It's an mp3 player that is lingering, it still sells the way it is and I'm sure they see that.

[HaHaCow]

I think they will put out Apple TV gen 4 because that has really been way to long. Also, they are not updated to the iOS 7/8 look.

[matthewfox]

Its an iPod touch that they are gonna do, it has been way too long

[tepeke]

Ipads with USB ports and Macbook with retina display and HDMI would be awesome! \m/

[haydenreaves]

The iPod needs an update. Thats why it has colours and says its been way to long.

[theskater]

It's funny to think that the girl listening already knows pretty much everything that the girl talking knows but acts like this is all new to her lol
