And pitifully, these cheaper iPods don't feature Wi-Fi capabilities. It is widely known that Apple Music only works on Wi-Fi-enabled iOS devices that allow Apple to authenticate an Apple Music subscription easily. Additionally, no customer is able to keep the tracks onto an Apple device after the subscription is ended. These somehow bring inconvenience to iPod Touch owners.
