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 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
