Be warned that this device is very slow, there is a horrible overall lag that gets very annoying.



I use iPod touch for music at gatherings so that I don't have to handle my cellphone or computer to anyone or having to constantly disconnect to allow someone else to connect and play their music.

I also prefer using the iPod touch for workouts and to play music in my car.

It is also the device I hand to my little nephews and nieces when I visit, they would bug you until you let them play with it.

ok. I could see your reason for having one. Now I’m 🤔 about it.

It's a perfect small iOS device for kids who aren't ready for a cell phone. Think 9-12 year olds. IMO, if they can treat that device well (i.e. not loose it, not drop it, not visit sites they shouldn't) then we can discuss cell phones.

While true, it’s pretty easy to find much cheaper options out there if going that route. I got a brand new iPhone SE for $100 locked to a small carrier. Perfect iPod touch for my niece.

I've been eyeballing these for years as a replacement for when my iPod Classic 160GB gives up on me. I still a'int biting at that price, though!

I don't think anything but the iPhone supports Carplay. Very unfortunate, I have an iPad with cellular even and it doesn't do Carplay. I could do Bluetooth audio, but no Carplay with the iPad.

iPods don't do CarPlay

Thanks for the responses, I guess an old iPhone would be better then.

This actually sounds like an awesome use for it.

See above.

It's just like you can get a new iPhone 7 plus at Walmart for 250 granted its locked to a certain carrier but its better than being potentially stuck with just wifi and I know people are like but its to see how well my kid can take care of device than a 7 would be perfect since when they pass you can just activate it. Back in the day it made sense since phones were expensive and at the time were still evolving but now it's pointless to really get a ipod especially at that price point in my opinion.

What do people use the iPod touch for any more?

A lot of hotels deploy them with their housekeeping departments so room attendants can update room statuses/walkie-talkie communication.

One thing that people forget about these things: They're great if all you want is an iPod. These things are some of the best iPods ever released! If you're looking for something to carry your music library on, plus use Apple Music/Spotify for use over wifi, there's nothing wrong with an iPod Touch. Some people don't want all the phone crap interrupting their music time. Plus... headphone jack.

There is a *small* market for people who just want a music player, and Apple still fills that void well with the iPod Touch. Just because you don't think it's worth having around doesn't mean there aren't others who do.

I am think an ipad mini or older iphone without cell service would work just fine.
