The iPod touch is long overdue for a refresh, with the latest iteration introduced back in 2017 with dated internal specifications and a boring design. Looks like Apple might up the aesthetics for this product because according to the iOS 12.2 Beta 4 code 4 leak, the next iPod touch might look significantly different from its predecessor. Apple ditched the home button in 2017 for its iPhones starting with the launch of the iPhone X and followed the same approach when it launched its 2018 iPad Pro series. Perhaps the company could do the same with its iPod touch.

Jonathan Mitchell was engaged in some iOS 12.2 Beta 4 code cracking when he stumbled upon an unreleased product named HLSipod2. According to him, HLSipod is the 6th-generation iPod touch, the model that is currently being sold on Apple’s website, while HLSipod2 could be its successor. According to the glyphs, the unreleased model does not have a home button, suggesting that Apple could make a design change to match it with the 2018 iPhone lineup.
