I can't speak to what's required for approval, but I would definitely
disable telephone only features when they are not available. Remember
this should not be a simple iPhone vs. iPod check; you should be
checking for the individual features as there may some day be an iPod
that has features now considered iPhone-specific (as has happened in
the past with external speakers, microphones, etc.) or there may be an
iPhone that is somehow more iPod-like.
Testing for individual features is a good way to future-proof yourself.

If you app absolutely requires an iPhone, then you should say so when
you submit your application to iTunesConnect. This will prevent the
end-user from even installing the app on an iPod touch.
