The outdated tech collecting dust in your closet could very well be worth big bucks. Like rare VHS tapes and old computers, vintage iPods are now considered highly prized collectibles. The first one hit the market in 2001—selling for a whopping $399, or double the price of today’s iPod Touch.

The iPod touch can’t connect to cellular networks. But it has iMessage and FaceTime, including FaceTime Audio, over Wi-Fi. For a traditional phone number, you can add the Skype or Sideline apps.

Use the Messages app to send and receive texts, photos, videos, and audio messages. You can also personalize your messages with animated effects, Memoji stickers, iMessage apps, and more.

To use FaceTime on an iPod touch, you need a fourth-generation or newer iPod touch and to be connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi. You also need to sign into FaceTime using the FaceTime app and an Apple ID. Once you‘ve signed in, you don’t need to do it again for every call.

Simply put we recommend buying the iPod touch. The iPod touch has the most features and benefits and generally is the best iPod for kids.

But yes, there are still several situations where the new iPod makes perfect sense, like as a kid’s mobile gaming system (especially once Apple Arcade is out) or for hospitals to track medical records and translate different languages or in retail and food service as a mobile register.

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 I’ve heard a lot of people say that the iPod touch is obsolete and isn’t worth buying if you already have a smart phone.

No, an iPod Touch is not a phone. It has no cellular capability. However, apps like Skype or FaceTime enable you to talk to other Mac users or non-Mac users over the internet using WiFi.
