However, it’s not the case that once you delete the data by hand, they will be removed entirely. They just seem to be got rid of from you device, there will actually still retain some on it.

Depicted by Apple’s former CEO, Steve Jobs, as "an iPhone without a phone", this device provides all functions of iPhone except the phone, GPS, vibration, proximity sensor and digital compass functions. In spite of the fact that iPod touch is an iPhone without providing the phone service itself, it still can make phone calls through an Apple adapter connected dual SIM cards through wireless Bluetooth.
