The music playing device no longer shows up on the Online Apple Store or the technology giant's dedicated page to the iPod.

The iPod website does however still promote other versions of the device including the touch, nano and shuffle.

Apple has not made an official statement regarding the iPod classic, which was released in 2007 and has changed little since.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will have larger screens and be thinner than their predecessors and will be available to pre-order from Friday.
