According to a report by TUAW, Apple may discontinue its iPod Classic and iPod Shuffle sometime this year, likely because the company has seen those two devices generating less and less revenue over the past few years.

It seems that the “product transition” Apple mentioned on the last earnings call could very well be within the iPod line. Specifically, if you want to buy an iPod shuffle or iPod classic from Apple, you should do it sooner rather than later. We’ve heard those two iPods are getting the axe this year.

The report also goes on to mirror previous reports claiming that Apple will not be making any large changes to the iPod Touch or iPod Nano – except for the introduction of a white case for the iPod Touch. 

To be honest, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise if Apple actually did cancel the iPod Classic and Shuffle. The two devices have recently been overshadowed by all-in-one devices such as the iPhone and iPad, so there is little reason why Apple shouldn’t discontinue the devices.

For those people who love their iPod Classics and Shuffles – don’t despair. Even if Apple cancelled the devices, it just means that the company has more room to introduce new and even better products!
