A video has surfaced (via YouTube) that claims to show aspects of the 6th-generation (6G) Apple iPod user interface:

Believe it when you see it ®
Why so shady? If this is real, where’s the device? If this new interface is just running in test mode on a Mac, then show the darn thing.
I’m raising the BS flag early.
Though the animation fits with what we’ve seen them do in the iPhone.
Just release it already!
Looks fake to me
That is NOT the new ipod interface..
1) Look at the second hands on the 2 clocks….They are not in sync.
2) Look at the Beatles tracklisting….Half of those songs are NOT on the Love album
3) It’s a bit bland
Nothing to see here…Move along.
Maybe a nano interface, but if that’s an iPod Video, sales will plummet by millions a month and Apple will crumble…
I bloody well hope not.
Whatever…
Just gimme a widescreen iPod.
this was posted on macrumors on the weekend and it was removed. reason given that Apple Legal contacted the site and told them to remove both the images of the new ipod and the video. if that makes it true or not i dont know but was removed pretty quickly.
A Zune could NEVER do that!
MacRumors.com got an Apple Legal takedown notice for posting this, which kind of lends credibility to it being real. Apple don’t issue legal take downs for fakes.
I’m raising the “I don’t care until I see a real iPod flag!” After that, well….still don’t much care. Okay, a little.
Fake. Not even a good one.
MW: “serious” – not really!
Probably a version that was kicked onto the scrap-heap months ago..
Competitors are no doubt rummaging through the Cupertino ‘trash cans’ as we speak…
As someone said already, the interface and animations are reminiscent to the iPhone and what we’ve come to know from Apple, but I, too will believe it when I see it.
Although, I’m half-hoping this is true; my poor monochrome 4G is on its last legs 🙁
There aren’t 20 songs on Rubber Soul
I sure hope Apple wouldn’t put out something this dumb looking.
I don’t really see how they could put out anything less than a touchscreen iPod.
I call complete and utter bullshit.
bloo said: “I sure hope Apple wouldn’t put out something this dumb looking.”
I guess you haven’t seen an iPhone. Apple already did put out something that looks like that.
Why would Apple deviate from the iPhone’s iPod interface? Just doesn’t make sense, both economically and from the fact that Apple always strives to maintain consistent interfaces.
wasnt this on macrumors like last week or so?
The UI differs from iPhone because it won’t have OS X in it and it will be controlled by click wheel, not with touch screen.
This is also marketing strategy from Apple. If you are someone who wants large capacity iPod but also nice interface and a real lifestyle product, you have to buy them both.
Hoax. Why would Apple design completely different clock software from that which is on the iPhone, which is running OS X.5, rumored to be the OS that will drive the next iPod?
And if it really was the next iPod, why all the transitions, etc.? Much better to hide the fake production, that’s why.
If it’s still being navigated by clickwheel, then it better be that touchpad on the back like we saw in an Apple patent application a few weeks ago.
The screen can’t be any smaller than that of the iPhone.
Fake!!! Worthless features and still using the old interface. I don’t think Apple would have had to spend this much time on the 6th Gen if that’s all they were going to develop. My belief is that the next gen will have the same touch screen as the iPhone with OSX powering the device. Also it will have the same touch scroll features as the iPhone. The video shows the same old interface which Apple could have released long ago.
