Apple to Release New Oblong Shaped iPod Nano This Fall?

Apple is planning to release a new oblong shaped iPod nano this autumn alongside its update to iTunes, reports Macotakara.

Case size seems to become smaller in 3 quarters than iPod nano (5th generation), and thickness seems to be thinner than iPod nano (6th generation)'s body without back-clip. Click-wheel interface will not be back, and a hole seems for home-button was on, source said.


A move to an oblong shaped iPod nano with a home button seems unlikely given the popularity of the iPod nano as watch. We'll let you know if any more information is revealed.
