Why do people with iphones also have ipods?

A lot of people I know have iphones. But they also have ipod touches. Why? If you have an iphone (which is the exact same thing as an ipod touch plus calling capability) where is the need for an ipod touch? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Well iPhones are more expensive, so people usually get the 8GB version. This doesn't really hold all their songs, apps, movies, etc, so they get a larger (usually 32GB) iTouch as well.

Or if they have an older iPhone, they can have the benefits of a newer device on iOS without waiting for their upgrade.

Or vice-versa

Certain things can make your phone's battery die really fast- music playing is one of those things. It is the smarter choice to have a separate music player.ipods are awesome for it.

Just throwing my opinion out there- iPhones are a really bad investment.

In terms of practicality, i think it may be partly due to battery life. Some people just love listening to music which will spent quite a huge amount of battery life, so the iphone's battery will not die that quickly with two devices. Then you will ask why can't they just buy a portable iphone charger. Well, it could also because of the data, because songs do occupy a huge amount of data in iphone, so with another ipod they can have more apps and pictures on iphone.

I also think there are people who have the mindset that they prefer treating iphone as a device to communicate and to answer messages, and then treating ipod as another device to listen to music. They don't really like that everything is combined together despite the convenience. They just like everything to have its own use so as to look more organised. They might find it pretty messy to have a single device to have many uses. Some people just have this mindset you know, i just couldn't explain much about this.

Some people, such as my wife, think of cell phones & music players as distinct entities & aren't interested in having one device fulfill both functions.

It's the battery life! Seriously, it's not just the Iphone users, it's also the androids! I have a smartphone, and listen to iheart radio, pandora, and have a music player just like an Iphone, and even that kills the battery! An ipod touch, or any mp3 players doesn't kill much battery and last longer. There's a difference, believe me try it and you will see!

  • Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
  • Why do people put passcodes on their iPods or iPhones? My girlfriend has an iPod touch and my friends daughter has an iPhone and they put passcodes on them. I have an iPhone and I don't need one on mine. My friends daughter has a little brother and I understand that's why she has it on hers but my girlfriend doesn't have any brothers or sisters so there's so reason for her to have it on her iPod. I don't get why they put them on there. Why do they have passcodes on their iPods and iPhone?
  • Why do people put passcodes on their iPods and iPhones? My boyfriend has the iPhone 5 and he has a passcode on it. I have an iPod touch and I put a passcode on it I don't really have much on there but I just did it because he did. I know his password but he doesn't care. He lets me use it sometimes. Why does he have a passcode on it?
  • Why do people jail break their iPods/iphones? So I hear all this stuff about jail breaking iPods and iPhones and stuff. How do you do it? And what is the point… I'm confused.
