“Apple will announce new models of its standard ‘white’ iPods on Monday, Think Secret has learned… According to sources, the company plans to unveil thinner, sleeker white iPods… [and] the enclosure will be the same general size as that of current iPods, [but] it will be thinner; it will also have a new scroll wheel of different color and design,” Nick dePlume reports for ThinkSecret.

Earlier this week, ThinkSecret reported that the new iPods would debut in August and also that the new 4G iPods would be more compact that today’s “white” iPod models. ThinkSecret also reported that the new iPods would come in a variety of colors, feature larger hard drives, and carry prices similar to the current iPod crop.
Whether the entire iPod body will come in a variety of colors or just the new “iPod mini-inspired” scroll wheels will come in colors isn’t clear.
MacDailyNews Take: This is obviously a rumor and the details are in flux. As always, we’ll have to wait and see what, if anything, new comes out of Cupertino this Monday.
