Rumor: Seventh-generation iPod nano to add rear-facing camera

Apple.pro has posted an image which it claims is the rear casing for the next iPod nano. The purported casing shows a hole which would house a rear facing camera. Apple.pro has a history with iPod nano rumors, as they were the first to post an image of a small touchscreen which later made its way into the sixth-generation iPod nano that debuted last fall.

As noted by MacRumors, when the sixth-generation iPod nano was unveiled, many loved its new form factor, but some lamented over the loss of the camera which was found in the fifth-generation iPod nano. If Apple.pro's image is legitimate, it looks like Apple is trying to combine the best features of the two previous nanos into one. MacRumors does note that the camera hole would be obscured by the current clip on the iPod nano, but it's likely that Apple will just narrow the clip to make way for an unobstructed camera view.
