What Do You Use an iPod for?
The connected iPod
It can hook into iTunes Match and iTunes Radio. It can hook into Beats Music and Songza and Netflix and Marvel Unlimited. As long as you're on Wi-Fi or the service allows caching, the iPod touch can hook into pretty much any entertainment service on iTunes or the App Store.

Accordingly, what can an iPod do?

Since it runs the iOS — the same operating system used by the iPhone and iPad — the iPod touch is also a web browsing device, a communications tool, a portable game system, and a video player. The iPod touch has long been referred to as "an iPhone without the phone," and that's basically correct.

Similarly, is an iPod worth buying? People with low or no vision have long been champions of the iPod touch because it's a low-cost screen reader. The iPod touch is worth buying, even if you already own an iPhone. I've heard a lot of people say that the iPod touch is obsolete and isn't worth buying if you already have a smart phone.

Simply so, can you use an iPod as a phone?

There is. It's using an iPod touch, which only works over Wi-Fi, and here's how you can set one up as your phone substitute. At the end, you'll be able to send messages securely through apps such as Signal, protect your traffic with your own VPN, and, if you like, make calls to normal phones over the internet as well.

How does an iPod touch work?

It also uses the same multi-touch interface that the iPhone uses instead of the click-wheel design on some other iPods. You wake up the iPod touch with a simple press of its home button, and then navigate through music, videos and other files using your fingers and the touch-sensitive screen.
