> It's essentially an iPhone 7 without a SIM. Just buy one of those.

You literally can't "just buy one" that's new to give to a kid.

Why be pedantic, the point GP is making is obvious.

It’s not even pedantic. The next line says “new iPods” are pricier than iPhone 7s. So they meant non new iPhone 7s. Followed by e-waste which wouldn’t be about a new device

The person knows that. If you read on. That’s why they say it’s probably cheaper than a new iPod. By saying “new” for iPod, it’s a distinction versus iPhone 7s. Then they bring up e-waste which is about used devices being re-used. Not using a new device.
