It was reported the other day that the iPod touch has been discontinued and only the stock is available, but Apple has released a “30-pin to USB cable” that can charge and sync up to the iPod touch (4th generation) released in 2010. It has been revealed that it is still sold in the official online store.
Is support still continuing even after production is discontinued?
Parker Autolani (@ParkerOrtolani), Consumer Product Manager at The Verge, says why can you buy a 30-pin to USB cable at most Apple stores? I asked a question.
Can we talk about how you can still buy a brand new 30-pin cable at most Apple Stores same-day? Https://t.co/axNmijshE2

If you take a look at the Apple online store in Japan, you’ll find that there are certainly 30-pin to USB cables in stock.

It was recently reported that Apple would discontinue the iPod with only stock sales, but soon after that the only iPod touch that was available for purchase was sold out.
