The iPod Touch was basically an iPhone that did everything but make phone calls. Which is what killed it eventually.
Exactly, which is why I liked it. It has a decent camera, can browse, text, FaceTime, play music, YouTube and use plenty of apps including ER.org. But only on Wi-Fi. When you leave WiFi it has its limits. I had an old flip cell phone for calls and I could also text. My phone had a very cheap legacy plan, pay once and pay again when you use it up, whether it’s next month or next year.
So for many years I had no monthly payment for cell service and the iPod Touch had all the other functions.
Now I’ve joined the masses with a spiffy new iPhone and yes, it covers all the functions that I used to do, and more. My favorite function is shopping with Scan and Go and paying with Apple Pay. I feel so “modern”!
But now I have a monthly bill ($70/mo for DH and I together) and unlimited everything. It sure is shiny!
