That is indeed true. iPods are great for children as well as adults. Though there is really no point in Apple making them anymore as most people are buying iPhones and iPads. Apple noticed this and because of that stopped making iPods as that is not what is bringing them the money that they need, iPhones are.


There are plenty of people online on eBay that are selling used or close to new iPods if you are interested.

Hello and welcome to the community 🤗


Why apple stop to sell iPod



  • Also apple stop the iPod touch beacause the iPod touch is not a device just for kids. It’s a device for music and in 2023 you don’t need an iPod touch to listen music you can use an iPhone, an iPad, a Mac, an Apple Watch (need earphones like AirPods), Apple TV, HomePod an also Apple Music is offered on Android, pc… So apple say not need iPod touch for that.


  • Another reason is for marketing apple still selling the iPod touch on her iPhone. So the best choice is buy an iPhone SE 3. Apple will make more money if the community just buy iPhone.


If your child has an iPod touch 7


  • Your child can maybe wait 2 year before to switch to iPhone beacause the iPod touch 7 will probably have 2 years more of security updates. Also iPod touch 7 will still be compatible with many apps.


If your child not have an iPod touch an he wants one.


  • Now in 2023 is impossible to have an iPod from apple. The best choice for your kid is to buy an iPhone SE 3 without a carrier. The iPhone SE has a more bigger screen, a 12 mpx camera, Touch ID, 15 h of battery, the chip a15 and more. For more info about the iPhone SE 3 : iPhone SE - Apple (CA)
