A new leak from Target employees seems to confirm that a new generation of the Apple TV, iPod Touch, and AirPod tech is in the works. Listed as placeholders in the Target backend, these listings don’t mention any kind of release date but do offer some pricing details.
Uncovered by 9to5Mac, the placeholder listing has the new Apple TV priced at $179.99, which is $30 more than the 4th generation Apple TV and the same price as the Apple TV 4K. The iPod Touch and AirPods are currently listed at $399.

It is fairly common for retailers to create placeholders for unannounced items so that the backend will be all set up when the new products arrive. Further, these prices are far from confirmed, as retailers usually just put in a “best guess” price until an official announcement has been made.
It’s important to note that while a new generation of Apple products is likely coming, none of this has been officially confirmed by the tech giant. Apple tends to hold a major event every spring, so it’s possible there might be an announcement then.

The new Apple TV will likely look to provide additional support for Apple Arcade, the company’s game streaming service. Apple Arcade released last September and costs $5 a month.
