Its less beefy too (if you can call an iPhone beefy)

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

The calling feature is not just software. You are completely wrong about that. Also which iPhone and iPod are you comparing?

Cellular network connectivity requires extra antennas and other equipment. The iPhone also is not just different in software, it's quite a bit more powerful on the hardware side.

Finger print sensor, better camera(larger space needed for optics), antennas. Bigger battery?

The calling functionality is not just software. An iPhone has cellular antennas and the latest iPhone is more powerful than the latest iPod touch.

Apple's chips tend to outperform the competition.

Even if the device isn't more powerful, you still have to factor in the cellular antennas.

Well also considering that the iPod Touch hasn't been updated in over a year now. 

 

But generally the iPhone is more powerful than the iPod Touch.

I don't think the iPod Touch is on Apple's priority list.
