The iPod touch was so great for me as a kid, it provided an accessible (read - cheap) platform I could plug into a Mac and deploy iOS apps to at a young age.
Now there's really no reason to keep it around, as you can get an off-contract used iPhone that is better in every dimension for less money. Still feel a bit sad to see it leave.
- stnmtn 4y agoI fell in love with computers through jailbreaking iPod touches. Back then, for me a jailbroken ipod felt like there was a whole world waiting for me; and you could tweak anything at all. I eventually started running a mini business at my school, offering to jailbreak anyones ipod/iphone (for a small fee, of course). I would even put a custom boot logo advertising my enterprise on all my customers device. Looking back now, that feels a bit scummy, but at the time I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

- Snowworm 4y agoIt never left. The iPhone is the new iPod, it just has more features that make it more than just a music player and more importantly has the option for a SIM (although it isn't necessary). I get what you mean though. I think the iPhone SE has taken its place in terms of affordability.
