Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[englishrider91]

Wouldn't an external battery be much cheaper than buying a separate device? I 
mean, my iPhone does everything, and my awesome, 200100 MAH battery only cost 
me around $50. I will admit that I do have one of those Sansa ClipZip mp3 
players with Rockbox on it, with a 128 GB micro SD card in it for my large 
audiobook and music collections, to say nothing of my collection of personal 
recordings, but this is more for convenience sake than anything else. Sometimes 
I just want to use a device without a touchscreen that I can stop very quickly 
with the press of just one button. I know, we have the two-finger double-tap, 
and it works very well, but I really do like this tiny player. Lol I guess I'm 
just saying everything the people who have multiple iOS devices said earlier. 
The player was $109, and the card was around $40, so still cheaper than an 
extra iPod, but still. Lol I actually still have my old iPod Nano. It's the 
generation before they put in the video player. My husband and I still use it 
almost every night to listen to the audiobooks we have that didn't come from 
BARD.

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Carla Savage]

Hi Craig, 

I do have an  iPod. I like to have separate devices for listening to books and 
music rather than using my phone and draining it's battery. Personal 
preference. I now also have a Fire tablet which works really well with Kindle 
books and just putting on MP3's quickly to listen to. 
Yes, definitely personal choice here. I like different devices for different 
things. 
Take care, 
Carla.

RE: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Kathy Kalaluhi]

Hi 
Here is my two cents on using an IPod along with an IPhone.  My IPhone does not 
have the maximum storage capacity so I also use an IPad i.e. tablet.  I use the 
tablet to store my apps such as Bard Mobile and Audible along with many other 
apps that I use such as Tell Me When, My Fitness Pal etc.  this way I am not 
taking up all the storage on my phone with apps that I do not use on a regular 
basis such as facebook or Lire.  If I had thought about it when purchasing my 
phone, I would have gone with the largest storage phone so I only had to use 
one device.  But, unfortunately, I did not think nor did I have the money to  
purchase the larger phone.  I do not know anything about IPods but I believe 
they can run the same as an IPad Mini in price and between the two devices, I 
would go with the tablet.  I like the tablet for the larger screen when wanting 
to views phots or face time my family.  My only complaint about the IPad Mini 
is that I see a difference in how apps are designed for the tablet compared to 
the phone.  The apps for the phone are easier to navigate and function much 
better.

I have an iPhone which also happens to be my work phone.  I like having another 
device, in my case an iPad, so I can update the iPad first and use it for a 
time before applying the update to my phone so I have less risk of messing up 
my work phone.  I also do mostly read books from my iPad or Victor Trek rather 
than on my iPhone, but that is just personal choice.

Craig,

I don't have an iPod Touch but I agree With others who have said they end up 
mainly using their primary device with the latest technology when they have 
more than one device. Keeping devices updated with the latest version of apps 
and iOS requires a good bit of administrative time and I prefer to devote that 
time to one device. Sieghard also makes an excellent point about the latest 
Touch being old technology. These devices cost a considerable amount of money 
and new apps are always taking advantage of the latest technology so hardware 
updates are unavoidable. My wallet prefers that I'm only having to update one 
device. My available admin time also prefers this.

Good luck with your decision.

RE: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Vicky Collins]

I agree with those who say it is a personal choice.  Although I 
have never had an iPod, I have often had more than one iPhone, 
but, in my specific case, pretty much found it not worth the 
trouble to keep up more than one device at a time.  Thus, I would 
wind up giving the older iPhone to a family member within a few 
weeks, rather than waiting several months as I had originally 
planned.

You would be buying technology now which is three generations

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Alan Lemly]

Craig, 

I don't have an iPod Touch but I agree With others who have said they end up 
mainly using their primary device with the latest technology when they have 
more than one device. Keeping devices updated with the latest version of apps 
and iOS requires a good bit of administrative time and I prefer to devote that 
time to one device. Sieghard also makes an excellent point about the latest 
Touch being old technology. These devices cost a considerable amount of money 
and new apps are always taking advantage of the latest technology so hardware 
updates are unavoidable. My wallet prefers that I'm only having to update one 
device. My available admin time also prefers this. 

Good luck with your decision.

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Kathy Brandt]

My oldest iPod, the original one I got that was a fourth generation, admittedly 
hardly gets any use. Occasionally I use the fifth GEN when my sixth generation 
one is recharging, or when it is more convenient to have an iPod running with 
something while doing something with the other device. I like keeping my iPhone 
ready for when I’m out.

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[SoonerAnnie]

I kept an iPhone 6S when I upgraded to an iPhone 7, and I use it all the time. 
I have it muted and set on do not disturb because when I’m reading or listening 
to ball games, I don’t want them being interrupted by notifications, texts, 
calls, etc., that frequently come in on my primary phone. I am running beta IOS 
on the backup phone but not on my primary phone, just in case what has been 
downloaded has bugs in it. That way I can check it out but not get stuck if 
it’s something that presents a problem. I keep them both updated, which really 
isn’t that big a deal since I use them both all the time. Of course, since my 
backup phone no longer has a SIM card, I can only use it with WIFI, but that’s 
no problem. If I am listening to a football or basketball game in the car, for 
example, obviously I have to use my primary phone and hope I don’t get a call 
to interrupt it. LOL! So, as everyone else has been saying, it is most 
definitely a matter of preference.

RE: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Definitely no cellular iPod Touch and at this point the newest iPod Touch which 
is the sixth generation was released in July of 2015. It has the same processor 
as an iPhone 6 which was released the fall before (in September 2014) and the 
CPU is the A8.
You would be buying technology now which is three generations old, the iPod 
Touch also does not have the same GPS capabilities as an iPhone although I 
don't think that would matter to Craig since he would use it primarily at home 
for books, music etc.
I agree with Christopher, the idea of a second device sounds good, but to me it 
is also not practical for the same reasons, I have to spend more time 
maintaining and upgrading it and all that.

Sieghard

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I agree it's a matter of choice, how you'll be using the 2nd device and 
what's important to you. For me, I've tried this a few times, and I end 
up just mostly using my primary device. It's usually the newer and 
faster system. Again, depending on what you're doing on each system, a 
second system will require some TLC, such as installing updates, 
installing and updating apps and getting or syncing content over to it. 
I find that although my intentions are good when I pick up a second 
device, my habits aren't as good, so I don't put the time into updating 
and maintaining the second device and it's content, so I take the lazy 
way out and just end up using my primary device.



My one exception to this is with my Booksense which I still use to read 
my NLS books. I just hit a button and I'm reading the book I was just 
reading, and I'm picking up right where I left off. There's no updating 
software, launching an app or any maintenance whatsoever except for 
copying books over to it. Copying books over isn't as easy as 
downloading them from BARD to my smart phone, but I'm willing to put up 
with this to get to the other conveniences I get from the Booksense, 
including what some others have also mentioned, such as moving some 
battery drain off of my smart phone to another device. One of the 
reasons this works for me is that the Booksense is so different from my 
smart phones and so convenient for the one thing I ask it to do. My 
iPhone 4S and Nexus 7 are just older slower versions of what I already 
have in my iPhone 7 and S7, so I just don't see much advantage to 
spending time on them to have them do something my newer devices do 
better and faster anyway.

That's the cheapest option. Brand new, the 32 GB Touch goes for $200.
If battery usage is your concern, you're better off buying a separate power 
source like a battery pack to put the phone in. Getting a Touch just to go easy 
on your phone's battery is major overkill.

Hello, everyone.

Much of what I use my iPhone for can just as well be accomplished with
an iPod.  I spend a lot of time listening to music and e-books,
neither of which requires the services of an iPhone.  I'm curious to
hear from those of you who own both devices.  Do you find your are
using your iPod often?  Do you regret the purchase?

Thank you for all help.

[Cristóbal]

Even if you buy a  refurb unit from Apple at 16 GB, you're looking at $150. 
That's the cheapest option. Brand new, the 32 GB Touch goes for $200. 
If battery usage is your concern, you're better off buying a separate power 
source like a battery pack to put the phone in. Getting a Touch just to go easy 
on your phone's battery is major overkill.

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Marie N.]

Like most things this is simply a matter of choice. I have an IPhone and an 
IPod Touch and use both quite a lot. For listening to music and books, I 
find using the IPod is best for me. It is so much lighter and thinner that 
it slips into a pocket or purse and I hardly know it is there. It is 
strictly my entertainment device and I never liked using the phone for that.

RE: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Cristóbal]

The 5S I use as a second line I'll sometimes use to stream music via Pandora if 
I'm working out or as a  timer and during baseball season to stream the A's 
games. When my wife may be visiting her family in Germany to facetime,  but 
other than that, it doesn't get much use outside of business calls. 
If you can score a refurbished or used iPod on the cheap, then I guess 
depending on the price it might make sense, but I definitely wouldn't pay full 
retail price or anything close to that for one at this point. Besides, they 
haven't been updated since 2015 I think. The only one worht even considering is 
the sixth generation which is the only one to be a 64 bit processor which is 
probably going to be the last one anyway.

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

I'm with you on this,  one for entertainment and other for communication, keep 
the latter battery topped up more readily. Still 
think it a pity they didn't do a large scale iPod like the 6/6+.

JMO, BobH.

Ps:  whenupgrading, keep previous model as entertainment and new for

Re: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Candy Lowe]

Craig, I too have an extra iPhone which I kept for those same reasons. In the 
beginning I used it, but now I hardly ever use it. My iPhone ate is so much 
faster and I just think it would be a waste of money for you.

RE: Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Craig,

All I can say is that I kept my iPhone 5S for a while after I bought a 6S Plus 
and exactly for that reason, to use it at home for books, controlling Sonos 
etc. I very quickly realized that my 5S was mostly lying around on the night 
table and I used my 6S Plus anyways since I usually have it in my belt holster 
or in a pocket or lying nearby in case of phone calls and such. Yes, you can 
set it up that when you are at home and both phones are on WiFi your iPod Touch 
(or old phone) rings when somebody calls, but for me at least two devices never 
worked out. You are going to spend probably at least between $200 and $300 for 
an iPod Touch. If saving your iPhone's battery is a concern than you'd be much 
better off having it replaced after a couple of years if you even keep your 
phone around for that long.

Hello, everyone.

Much of what I use my iPhone for can just as well be accomplished with an iPod. 
 I spend a lot of time listening to music and e-books, neither of which 
requires the services of an iPhone.  I'm curious to hear from those of you who 
own both devices.  Do you find your are using your iPod often?  Do you regret 
the purchase?

Thank you for all help.

Craig

Supplementing my iPhone with an iPod: Good Idea?

[Craig Werner]

Hello, everyone.

Much of what I use my iPhone for can just as well be accomplished with
an iPod.  I spend a lot of time listening to music and e-books,
neither of which requires the services of an iPhone.  I'm curious to
hear from those of you who own both devices.  Do you find your are
using your iPod often?  Do you regret the purchase?

Thank you for all help.
