Sorry but
Why would I need another iPod? My phone does everything the iPod did but better, and more. I've loaded it up with all my DRM-free MP3s from Google Play Music before that shut down, and I can watch whatever I want on it offline. Why buy what would certainly be an even more enshittifird iPhone with less features at Apple's totally sensible prices?
Does it do jack, sd card, and the ability to use it without being flooded by notifications, calls, alarms, reminders? In my case I just want to shut off the world and listen to music without having this addictive machine near me.
Yeah I specifically picked a phone with a jack and SD card slot (iPods never supported these afaik). Do Not Disturb is also an Android feature, or airplane mode like the other reply said.
You have the ability to turn on airplane mode or do not disturb, yes?
Could also buy a device and not connected it to a cellular network. I have old phones that would fill this role perfectly, actually.
Would like to have one for my car. It should have intuitive buttons, so I don't have to swipe on my phone to change to song
