IPod touch... iPhone minus the phone??

Hello all,
Is the iPhone Touch everything the iPhone is without the phone? What can the Touch do the iPhone can't do? What can the iPhone do the the iPhone can't do?
-Apple //GS

The iPod Touch might also have Bluetooth, but if so, it is not enabled.

We did not find the CSR Bluetooth chip that the iPhone has. However, there are several Apple->branded chips that we didn't identify, so we cannot completely rule out the presence of a Bluetooth chip.
From what we are told, a Bluetooth antenna (if it existed) could be integrated into a PCB like this >one, making identification difficult. The 'RF1UB' marking on the back of the board indicates that it's >been designed for RF, and probably tested at frequency. So, while we don't see evidence of a Bluetooth antenna, we cannot rule out its existence.
To make it perfectly clear: We cannot confirm nor deny the presence of Bluetooth in this device.

  • IPhone minus the phone

    Is there a way to use the features of the iPhone without the phone. I say this (and it may sound crazy) because ATT is not in my area, but I would like a nice PDA that works well with my mac. I would like to someday use it as a phone, but for now I can't. With the recent price drop a PDA/ipod for $400 doesn't sound too bad.

    THe most recent updates of iTunes 7.4.1 (2) do INDEED brick your phone if you have hacks on them, resulting in an endless loop that can't be restored.
    Still haven't heard of anyone who was permanently bricked from this. Some confusion for a day while it was sorted out, is all.
    Apple has shown now several times that they can quickly and easily rewrite code to assure that you do not add hacks nor use them on your iPhone.
    And vice versa from third parties
    It's ironic that Apple used to call cell carriers control freaks.
    Informal surveys show that half of users savvy enough to hang around iPhone forums have modified their phones. Customization and applications are desired features, and available on every other smartphone. This is not the far simpler iPod market that Apple treats it as.
    Attempting to stop unlock attempts is Apple's perogative. Trying to stop all modifications, especially after leading people on for six months about hopes for native development, is yet another bad PR move... and ultimately futile.
    However, I agree that this is not the right forum to promote such mods.

  • Will there be an iPhone minus the phone part?

    I don't want the phone feature, just the other features and widescreen/touchscreen, etc.

    You're right... my apologies.
    Yes, Apple plans on creating a new iPod without the phone features. The newly planned iPod, secretly codenamed the CuisinartPod by Apple, will will also serve as a food processor, with interchangable blades for convenient chopping and mincing. This new iPod will also be dishwasher safe.
    Detailed technical specs can be found here.

  • Tap Tap Revenge on iPod Touch/iPhone

    Anyone downloaded a game application called Tap Tap Revenge? It's for iPod Touch/iPhone with the 2.0 software upgrade. I browsed through the iTune's Application Store today and found this game. It looks awesome, but when I tried to purchase it for free, it said it was no longer available. I even tried closing/reopening iTuns and tried to download the application, but it was still no good. Anyone who downloaded this game before it's availability was gone, mind uploading it for me and for other people who are in need of this awesome application? I don't want to wait until Apple fixes it. I want to play now. D:
    I'll really appreciate it. Thanks~

    It wasnt working for me this afternoon and just downloaded it to try to kill some time and it works!

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

  • Will iPod touch ever have the same specs as an iPhone?

    I prefer Android for a phone but I have an iPod touch 4th gen as a bedside music player/alarm clock/game player docked in a radio/speaker dock, but I realized after buying it that it didn't have the same processor or screen as the iPhone 4, so looked kind of crappy and didn't run a lot of games or apps well that I wanted to use that did run well on an iPhone 4.
    Now that I'm thinking of upgrading to a modern iPod touch (5th gen? iOS 7, not sure what the processor is) but I'm afraid I'll be in the same situation since app developers are programming for the iPhone 6 now. Also I want to have 128GB so I can put all of my music uncompressed on it, but I feel that's a pipe dream since the current one only goes up to 64GB. I really would pay more to have a touch that's basically an iPhone without the phone/data part.
    Is it worth upgrading? I would have to get rid of my dock and buy a new one with a lightning plug. I'm really afraid Apple will discontinue the iPod touch like they did the Classic and if I want to play iPhone games and have a nice radio dock I'll just have to buy an iPhone (since Android docks don't support controlling the device with the dock buttons like iOS does).

    Hey Dhinged, If you want solid facts, can not answer your question, only Apple knows. If you don't mind speculations try Goggle. For part two, don't buy phone or data plan, no SIMS card activation, no phone functions. But with the iPhone having a history of being roughly twice the cost of an iPod-- that's one expensive iPod. Part of what keeps the cost of an iPhone down is the phone contract, the full cost of the phone is part of the contract, if you opt out of a contract then you will have buy the whole phone at full cost. I would look at purchasing an iPad or wait and see if there is anything solid about the iPod 6 in October. Hope this helps, Cheers.

  • Is there anyway i can find who stole my ipod touch i have the serial number but i did not have the find my iphone app

    is there anyway i can track my ipod touch with just the serial number because someone stole it but i did not have the find  my iphone app

    You can only track it if you turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My before it was lost/stolen, and then registered it in iCloud's Find My Phone service.  You must then log in to iCloud, click Find My Phone and see if it shows up.  If it is turned off, not connected to the internet or been reset to factory condiditon it will not show up.  There is no way to track it except in that way.
    Report it to the police, insurance and cell provider in case the will blacklist the iPhone so it cannot be used.
    Change your passwords for accounts on the iPhone.

  • HT4235 iPod nano 6th generation, syncing with audiobooks does not work now, had been working.  Sync test says:  No iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad found.  Connectivity test OK, no physical problems, iTunes shows the iPod.  Any clues what to do?

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.

  • Can I message friends in Australia who have iPhones off my iPod touch here in the U.S.?

    Can I message friends in Australia who have iPhones off my iPod touch here in the U.S.?

    Try posting in the iPhone forum. Yes, there is a trick. Make sure your post clearly describes that you tried in the iPod forum. I think it has to do with the number id digits in the number.

  • How do I move my notes in the "On My IPod Touch" folder to the "iCloud" folder?

    How do I move my notes in the "On My IPod Touch" folder to the "iCloud" folder?  I don't see where or how they are being backed up and want to make sure that they transfer to my new device.

    Hi,
    I will recommend you to get a Mobile Me account, it can sync multi devices like an iPod Touch / iPad / iPhone, of course, included your computer flawlessly.
    For details, you can refer:
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
    If you not prefer to get a Mobile Me account, you can sync both devices by using computer.
    First of all, make sure the iPod Touch have not been ever synced by other computer. Otherwise, all the notes and contacts in your iPod Touch will be replaced by your computer information. (or iTunes will ask you to merge all the info, some data lost may occur.)
    Connect your iPod Touch to the computer, in the iTunes, your connected iPod Touch will be shown on the left column, select it, on the right hand side is showing your iPod Touch details. Then, select "Info" tab (on top), check "Sync Address Book Contacts" and "Sync notes" in the "Other" section. Then click "Sync"
    Suppose the selected / checked option will be synced. After sync is complete, eject your iPod Touch, connect your iPad, do the same setting as you did for your iPod Touch, and sync it.

  • My ipod touch is showing the connect to itunes, however, when i plug it into the computer nothing happens, what can I do?

    My Ipod Touch is telling me to connect to itunes, however when I do nothing happens, what can i do?

    Try:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Also try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
