I lvoe this, and feels to true - Phone is about the worst aspect of an iPhone!.
But I take both routes, keeping an old button Nokia handy on the one hand and an old ipad on the other. Echo is about to encroach on the entertainment side next; so my solutions are getting quite eclectic now. BobH, still finding way around the 21st century. Still got a toe in the XP century too, would you believe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Baracco" <w...@socal.rr.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2018 5:55 AM Subject: Re: Use my phone, or purchase an iPod? If battery life is the concern why not take the money that you would spend on the iPod and buy an external battery or something like the Mophie juicepack, which is a case with a built in external battery. Or you can take that money and upgrade to an iPhone with more storage, or the 7 or 8 plus which have larger batteries. Personally, I like having as few devices as possible, but it's a personal decision. Some folks opt for a cheap flip phone for making and taking calls, and either an iPhone or iPod Touch for the other stuff, as the phone is probably the worst thing about an iPhone.
