IPod X?
If there was an iPod touch-like device with the camera and screen capabilities of the iPhone X, but for a few hundred less, would you buy it?

Now that we have a Cellular watch, it might be interesting to be able to pair the watch to an iPod Touch and get calls handed from the watch to the iPod just like calls are currently being handed from the iPhone to the non-cellular watch.

Basically... from iPhone-Apple Watch to Apple Watch-iPod? Seems interesting.

No. It would make more sense to just buy the iPhone X. The iPod will shortly become a thing of the past. I imagine they'll phase it out the iPod touch, in the coming years. The market for these devices is so marginal. Years ago, smart phones were scarce and iPods had a purpose and large demand. Fast forward to recent years, most people have smart phones that they can store plenty of music on or use Apple Music.

I would get it, and to call just use a old phone

Could just FaceTime audio + Messenger Call people I suppose?

But the thing is that I need wifi to do that and have to be near my phone to call

Nope. The market would be very small for one I would think. iPods are so cheap, that if you’ll be spending so much money for one you may as well add in cellular. Even if just for resale.

No lol.

There's plenty high end daps out there that are better. Stick with those for music.

The iphone se is now $350. Its the price of the new iPad basically and isn't much more than a touch today.

There is no reason for iPod Touch to exist. If you want a device for your kid, the Apple Watch Series 3 now exists.

Games on Touch vs games on Watch

Agreed

Disagree. There are a lot companies and industries that use iPods as an app deployment platform (healthcare, for instance).

No, as I want internet outside, sometimes do calls and use WhatsApp, I would still go for the iPhone.
