Never owned one. Hell, I've got a second generation iPad that I barely even turn on these days...

Wait... they were still making iPods??
Why?
As far as music, it is almost entirely streaming... and you do that on your phone.

I have an iPod I never even used, it came with something we bought a while back.

Gee I'm totally upset, I mean I got along without them for 20 years already and now they aren't going to be available anymore.

It's ok, before people die of withdrawal they'll come up with something to replace it.

So?
It's just an iPhone without the phone and the GPS?
