After renewing its MacBook Pro last week without waiting for next Monday's conference, Apple has just done the same with the iPod touch. The objective, as last March, is undoubtedly not to talk about hardware during the opening conference of WWDC 2019, to focus onwhat's new in iOS 13and other in-house operating systems.
