Think of this as a smaller iPad Mini WiFi. You can browse the internet, chat, access the Apple app store more millions of apps. The only difference between this and an iPhone is that you cant make calls or connect to a cellphone provider and data. However, keep in mind, as long as you have WiFi connection, you can make calls with lots of things including Face time. Thanks for asking and clarifying this for others.
No, this is an ipod! However, it has all functions of an iphone except for calling and data. You can still use features like imsg and facetime if you have access to wifi. Thanks!
