the sixth-generation ipod touch (stylized and marketed as the ipod touch, and colloquially known as the ipod touch 6g, ipod touch 6, or ipod touch (2015)) is a multipurpose handheld device designed and marketed by apple inc. with a touchscreen-based user interface. it is the successor to the ipod touch (5th generation), becoming the first major update to the ipod lineup in more than two and a half years. it was released on the online apple store on july 15, 2015, along with minor upgrades to the ipod nano and ipod shuffle. the ipod touch (6th generation) was officially discontinued by apple on may 28, 2019, with the release of its successor, the ipod touch (7th generation). support will end for the 6th generation not long after its discontinuation, as it will be incompatible with ios 13.

on november 11, 2011, apple announced the ipod nano (1st generation) replacement program, intended to address concerns over overheating batteries. customers with affected devices can fill out a claim form to confirm eligibility for replacement. defective devices will be replaced within six weeks and will carry 90-day warranties. customers who have personalized ipod nano devices will not be able to receive personalization on their replacement devices. during the replacement process, there have been several reports of users receiving an ipod nano 6th generation as replacement instead of the expected 1st generation device that users sent in during the recall. because using the ipod nano 6th generation with a mac computer requires itunes 10 or higher, which in turn requires mac os x leopard system software, apple will upgrade the system software of participants running earlier versions of os x, on request but this leaves users that do not have access to itunes without a working device (because apple changed the hashing of the music database which prevented the 6th generation ipod nano from being used with open source software via libgpod).
