Does the iPod Touch Ever Go On Sale?

Unfortunately, the answer is no: the iPod Touch basically never goes on sale. Apple controls the pricing of its devices very tightly, and high demand for them keeps prices high.

Other Costs When Buying an iPod Touch

The cost of the iPod itself isn’t all you need to budget for. Don’t forget about sales tax (if it applies in your area). Plus, you’ll likely buy a few iPod Touch accessories, such as:

A case (expect to spend $20-$40) AppleCare extended warranty ($59) A second charging cable to bring to work or when traveling ($19) A power adapter for a wall socket ($19) Airpods ($159+) or other high-end headphones Screen protectors.
