Apple is selling lots of iPods during the last calendar quarter, so the iPod usually gets a refresh for the holiday season. The seasonality is less of a factor for the iPhone, new model releases will instantly boost sales, even in July. Again, it was the right decision. « Why even get an iPod anymore? » Every quarter, millions of people get an iPod. They don't want to deal with a cellphone carrier (or not just yet), they need a smaller device, etc. « The new ‘pods also make me wonder about Apple’s timing. »

Can you imagine running with that gargantuan device (iPhone)? Nope, I need my iPod. I'm not risking a $200-$300 device on the beach, on my runs, in my car. “Why even get an iPod anymore?”
