iPod touch Uses for old iPod Touches

[theapplefanboyj]

After trying to consolidate my devices so my pockets wouldn't feel heavy, I have my iPod Touch that is not going to be used. I might sell it, as well as a dock (that was £80, $112) but for now, I'm going to keep it. But, I also want to use it at home for when my phone battery dies. What should I do with it? Suggestions are needed so please reply.

I leave it connected to my car for music.

Sadly, I don't have a car 🙁

I have one old Touch that we use predominantly as a Remote for iTunes and AppleTV. Another, even older, model is in my car so I can listen to podcasts while driving.

A remote for your Apple TV or ChromeCast?

 

[theapplefanboyj]

Don't have them either, but is it possible I could turn it into a streamer for my TV?

I keep my old iPod touch on charge for when I have to restore the new iPod touch when it starts getting wonky. Also, it's handy to take on flights so my wife can play Bejeweled.

I used an old ipod in the bathroom for a long time, was always worried to take my nice Iphone in there due to steam possibly giving it water damage.

now I just have a bluetooth radio that i use in there now and connect it from another room.

I have one mounted to the wall next to the front door constantly showing the weather app.

My 64GB 4G is my main music player in my truck running iOS 4.2 for max space and speed since I don't use any apps. The battery can be a bit wonky as far as it's gauge, but I charge it about once a week or so.

But I also have an 8GB 2G (MB) that I put Whited00r 7 on and use in an iHome to stream Pandora in the kitchen/living room. Works great for that purpose, and has access to older iOS 3 apps and games for the kids. 😎

You answered your own question:

The Touch can double as a phone with the right texting app. We use it that way quite often - so long as WiFi is available.

I wish I can use my actual number though..

I use my 2nd gen to stream music from YouTube. Given the right cheap earbuds and music, it still knocks my socks off.

Its a great alarm clock and the timer and stopwatch functions are used heavily in this house.

Mine looks pretty in my drawer, next to all my other outdated technology.

I use my touch to exclusively play .flac audio for on the go/in car use. I didn't want to clog up my phone with the large audio files. I also like the iPod Touch 5 slenderness, a nice change from the iPhone 5 at times.
