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.

Yes. All iOS devices with the exception of the original iPhone are like this: they have a cellular baseband iff they have GPS.

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.
