When the first smartphones came out, they were prohibitively expensive, and for a few years I carried a very basic traditional cellphone and an iPod touch.
In 2019, when there are smartphones at any price point, each of those with the same funcions of the iPod touch, plus being a phone on top of that, the use-case for this device kind of escapes me.

- horyzen 7y agoI bought the previous gen last year when it was on sale and mainly use it for gym or jogging because my phone is too big to carry around. If only they had a up-to-date, small form factor phone (hoping a SE2) then yeah I would switch my phone altogether.
