In terms of features, the latest device in the iPod Touch lineup is expected to be incorporated with the upcoming iOS 8, which has been set for a release this fall. The iPod Touch 6G has then been said to include the Touch ID, Apple's own tool for fingerprint recognition and attempt for increased convenience and security.

Speculations have also put forward the possibility that the new iPod touch will incorporate mixed elements from the iPod Touch 5G, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.
