The Cupertino company is suffering a series of leaks in recent months that will undoubtedly be doing significant damage within the plant. The team in charge of security and information will undoubtedly suffer the occasional dismissal in the short-term future, and it is that some media have already echoed the discomfort in the company's managers.
However, what we have to do today is to talk about a product that is already quite old, the iThird generation Pod Touch, and it is that a prototype has appeared that has a rear camera.

Finally the third generation iPod Touch model launched in 2009 with a centered camera did not reach the market, but it is curious because a user who has a vast collection of prototypes and similar devices has shown this curious discovery on Twitter, he identifies it as the best of his collection. The truth is that taking into account the plastic part of the upper right area, having a centered camera is at least contrary to the principles of proportion and design that Apple used at that time. This had already been rumored by the interior scheme that the product featured.
We mean that apparently the third-generation iPod Touch inside had a "hole" just where the camera of this prototype should go, so it seemed very close to becoming the final product. I'm also not sure why Apple would finally decide not to provide the third-generation iPod Touch with a camera. So Apple included it in the fourth generation accompanied by a microphone, yes, low resolution cameras but enough for a FaceTime for example. And here we have once again the history of Apple that appears little by little where you least expect it.
