New sketches have came showing what could be the new Apple iPod 6G could look like. In the sketches, the clickwheel is totally gone, instead there are touch sensitive sides where you can scross up and down, and left to right…
“The assumption has been that Apple would go with a touchscreen for the next-gen iPod since the signature clickwheel would be an obstacle for a full-screen player. Makes sense. But this patent shows that Apple might be eschewing the idea completely, as touch-sensitive casing is much cheaper than touchscreen technology. In addition, when coupled with its recent patent for proximity-activated controls, we’ve got an entirely new iPod indeed.”
