It is expected that the next iPod will make the entire screen an LCD monitor, all the buttons used for control will be virtual, that is, touch screen. In short, it is a video iPod.

As soon as it comes out, iTMS will also start selling high-resolution movies. In that case, the playing time will be more problematic than the price. If it is made on the premise of movie playback it will be necessary to keep playing for at least 3 hours. That would inevitably make it bigger, but it does not seem realistic when it comes to ... if you enlarge only the screen without increasing the size and further suppress the price ....

Watch how far iPod can make a breakthrough in the future.
