Welcome back everyone, to be honest, the iPod Touch is a very interesting device. When it first came out it was pretty legendary, and it’s kind of gotten a slow demise since then because the one core advantage that an iPod Touch had, which was music playback capability, really isn’t useful anymore because everything has transitioned over to streaming, very few people have downloaded songs on their devices anymore. I will tell you, there’s really no point in buying an iPod Touch in this day and age, why does this thing even exist anymore? Well, there is one advantage of this specific device.

To be honest, the main advantage and the only reason I would even kind of recommend buying an iPod Touch is if you need to buy a brand new Apple product that supports iOS (that’s up to date), that developers can code apps on. At this point, the iPod Touch is still the cheapest barrier of entry for a developer to potentially test iOS apps on, just in case you don’t want to use an emulator, you can use an actual Apple product. As I mentioned, I don’t know if this is going to be necessary for everyone, since some people may already have some Apple products laying around, you can buy a used iPhone that’s still supported for cheaper than a brand new iPod Touch.

Overall, I would probably not recommend buying an iPod Touch anymore, mostly because almost every single person in the world right now has an iPhone or an Android, and they have a data connection and that’s the one important thing iPod Touches don’t have. If you download a bunch of music then go for it, otherwise, I would probably recommend not buying an iPod Touch anymore, what do you think?

That’s pretty much it! if you guys have any other questions let me know in the comment section as well, more importantly than everything else I love every single one of you, hopefully, I’ll catch you in the next article!
