Is the 4th Generation IPod the new White Macbook?

         The introduction of IOS 7 has many apple consumers amped to update their IPhone or IPod devices.  IOS 7 comes with several new features that enable users to be more productive and according to Apple, IOS 7, is “designed to look beautiful and work beautifully, so even the simplest tasks are more engaging.” Apple is correct, the IOS 7 is a hot commodity, but unfortunately is unavailable for the 4^th generation IPod touch. This came to my attention after updating my IPad device and noticing that Apple did not send a notification to update my recently bought 4^th generation IPod. The reason behind this is puzzling. Is Apple trying to make younger generation IPods extinct? By denying the ability to update, Apple is basically forcing its consumers to buy a new product. I am not surprised by this move, seeing that Apple suddenly stopped the sale of its White Macbook in 2009. Why do we need a new device, because Apple says so? It is time for a change.
