From Wikipedia:

> All iPods lack Touch ID, 3D Touch, NFC, GPS, an earpiece speaker and a noise-cancelling microphone. Depending on the generation, the iPod Touch may have a smaller or inferior display and camera(s). Newer models (5th and 6th generation) lack the ambient light sensor that makes automatic brightness available.

Also it shares the A8/M8 with the iPhone 6, but it's clocked down (1.1GHz vs 1.4GHz for the phone); both cameras are 8MP, but the iPhone can shoot regular video in 1080p at 30 or 60 fps (vs only 30 fps for the iPod) and slow-motion video in 720p at 120 or 240 fps (vs only 120 fps for the iPod).

I forgot that iPod Touch didn't have Touch ID or 3D Touch. But does it really not have a GPS? That's interesting. I guess the assumption is you're not going to go out and about with Maps since you're tethered to a wifi network.

Or the GPS was part of the GSM baseband, and they didn't want to stuff something else on there to replace it.

No non-cellular Apple devices have GPS that I'm aware of. My wifi-only iPad Air certainly doesn't, but my mother's cellular iPad mini 4 does

Except Google Maps at least lets you download an area for offline use. Not sure what Apple maps does.

I use this all the time on my Android phone because I don't have a data plan for it.
