[@rick_terscale1111]

Because kids don't need phones. They still need a device for games, music etc. An iPod provides them with everything they need. If they need cell phone connectivity for web browsing, downloading apps/music/games, they can tether to their parents phones. Parents can then control their usage. Anyone with a phone doesn't need an iPod Touch. Although some Android users say they like to have an iPod too.

[@Iavenderhazes]

Rick Terscale Ummm iPod touch can search the web and download games. It’s basically an iPhone with no SIM. I have a 6+ with no SIM at age 11 and it functions the same as the iPod.

[@SananeNapcanAmq]

an iphone se/used iphone 6s is a better idea.You dont need to insert sim card on iphones.You simply dont,and when your kid grew up, you don't need to buy a new smartphone.You just insert sim on their iphone.Ipod has the same performance as an se/6s because the cpu is underclocked in Ipod.So you gonna get almost the same performance.And if you can find a great deal, you can be much cheaper by looking at ebay/craigslist

Literally, you can backup so many songs from your iTunes library, insert all your songs on a 512GB Micro SD Card, and never have to worry about in need of iCloud Storage along internal storage being full. My s10e is 128GB internal storage, and tbh, I wish Apple would've presented Apple Users the microSD Card feature that most Android phones have for storing photos, videos, music and more. Only downside about my s10e is that App Store is better than Google Play Store; along likely to not receive additional software support ( iPhones receive up to 4-5 years of iPhone iOS support ) . Other than that, thats my perspective .

The iPod Touch happens to be one of the few Hi-Res audio players in the price range that's got almost universal USB compatibility with car head units just like the Classic. And the built-in DAC on the Touch is actually pretty good quality, with a lot of audiophile reviewers putting it as pretty close to expensive units by Sony, A&K, and Fiio.

Honestly I feel iPods are really great. I play Minecraft on my phone and it's already annoying enough with endless notifications and calls. If Apple will still support iPods, then it would be a good media device. They just need to make it slightly bigger with a bigger resolution.

I don't know about you, but I can't afford the $$$$ monthly fees charged by mobile phone companies. However, I get most of what I need WITHOUT the "smartphone" part, which I don'tt need. (I have a "pay-as-you-go" cellphone for emergencies which costs $100/year.) The fact that I can use it as a music player is a bonus, and there are useful apps, even if I don't waste time playing games. (Plus, iTunes doesn't have, say, Aidan James, Pure Heart, The Hawaiian Style Band, or Streetlight Cadence in the online store.)

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

Why are people complaining about transferring songs from their computer to their phone? Like is it really THAT hard to connect a cable to your phone and transfer songs that way? Are you people really that lazy? I do it with my iPad and my Android phone all the time, because I have better things to spend my money on than Apple Music. I have over a years worth of songs on my laptop, so why would I need to waste money on a music service i'm not gonna use? Plus, everyone knows streaming music is crap-tastic quality. You get the best audio quality by actually transfering files and playing them back directly on the device. Streaming services just uses data and wastes money. Be smart, people. Don't be stupid and subscribe to Apple Music or Spotify. It's a waste of money, and the sound quality sucks. But I'm pretty sure half of you don't care about sound quality, witch is quite sad.

I bought my kid an iPad like 2 years ago and his birthday is coming on june 12, and I have never seen this much loyalty toward a brand before. He had a few android tablets before and generally used to hop to new brands when we bought a new tablet. The same happened with his clothes, and generally all the items, he didn't care about the brand enough to stick to it, but after I bought the iPad , this year he's begging for either and apple watch series 7 or an iPad air or pro, and even said to wait till the new apple launch event this year, rather than buy the iPad or watch straight on his birthday. I think an apple watch will be more useful, because he has gotten into somewhat small accidents before, when both of us were at work, and while they were somewhat small accidents, it's worrying about what could have happened.

[@nmlss]

What you say makes perfect sense, but I think there's another main reason why Apple decided to sell this new iPod Touch: gaming. They talked about their new gaming service in the last keynote and this would be a great way to sell it, specially to parents. Having to choose between a 300$ Switch or a 199$ iPod Touch, they'll probably go with the Apple product, which also allows music, KZbin and many other apps. I think it's a pretty smart move.

[@cmooreHD]

^ this comment! Yes! I was hoping Greg would have mentioned Apple Arcade even though this video was perfect as well!

[@logicalfundy]

Could always get them a 3DS or 2DS. Personally, I'm not fond of the current cell phone gaming ecosystem. Basically they all have timers, alternate currencies, loot boxes, and other systems that basically make them feel cookie cutter and often get in the way of playing the game itself. Hey I want to play a game, but ten minutes later it wants me to wait several hours for something to complete. Well okay I guess they don't want me playing the game then, I think I'll just go back to playing on a dedicated gaming device where games don't limit play time. By the way, the Switch does have KZbin.

[@nmlss]

@@logicalfundy I don't like phones as gaming devices either, but most parents prefer to buy that instead of a dedicated console. And the 3DS is barely gonna get any new games now that Switch is the primary focus for NIntendo. Also, any Nintendo game on 3DS still costs 40$ and you can get iOS games for """free""" or for just few dollars. And that's what parents look at.

Apple sells huge volumes of iPod touches to retail. The reason the form factor hasn’t changed is because companies have fleets of barcode sleds designed for the current size and shape. I have literally seen boxes of iPod touches shipped for this reason to warehouses, stores, stock yards, etc.
