iPod touches also sent iMessages, since all you need is an Apple ID.

That's why I said "having an iPod touch keeps the kid from getting bullied by the "Blue Message" crowd" - It was the device you could buy a kid and not worry about the green messages.

iPhones without phone contracts can still call 911.

If jailbreaking will continue working on iOS 15, then people can do that and nuke the phone app from iPhones to prevent the 911 issue.
