Apple iOS 12.2 Beta 4 reveals a bezel-less icon for iPod touch 7th generation

In his tweet, he has shared images of two icons for the iPod series: one marked HLipod is the one of the existing 6th generation variant, while the HLipod2 is the unreleased generation. Based on the image, the iPod Touch 7th generation icon shows no home button on the button, a full screen display.

Interestingly the icon does not have a notch. While it’s hard to confirm whether the image is a genuine one, previously references to an iPod 9,1 were discovered by developer Steven Troughton-Smith, who has in the past revealed some upcoming features about Apple’s software products. The iPod listing in iOS 12.2 does not appear to have Face ID or Touch ID, which was also noted by Smith earlier.

Check out the tweet below

I was doing some coding in iOS 12.2 Beta 4. I cracked this here on what a new iPod touch 7th generation could look like.

Previously Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo had said that that iPod Touch 7th generation was coming this year. In his note, which was shared by 9to5Mac, he had noted that Apple iPod Touch 7th generation will come with an improved processor.

With the iPod Touch 7th generation, the rumours have been around for sometime. We will have to wait and see if Apple actually launches this product in 2019 and whether it sports a complete redesign.
