IPod history in pictures

The first iPod appeared in 2001. In six years, he has already changed six generations. I propose to hold a small historical excursion and see how the iPod has changed and developed.


iPod, first generation
The very first iPod appeared on October 23, 2001 (it will be 6 years soon!). The disk capacity was only 5 GB (compare with modern models :) The player could play music for 12 hours, and the proprietary control wheel was not yet touch-sensitive.


iPod, second generation
The second-generation iPod was released on July 17, 2002. Unlike the first generation, iPod 2G was released in two versions - for work with Windows and for Mac OS. There were modifications with 5, 10 and 20 GB.


iPod, third generation
The third generation of the player appeared on April 28, 2003 and came out with 5, 10 or 20 GB, and then 15, 20 and 40 GB of disk space. The operating time of the player was even less than that of the first version - only 8 hours.

iPod mini, first generation
The next version of iPod was iPod mini, which was released on January 6, 2004. iPod mini had a smaller disk size of 4 GB and was available in several colors. It is in this version that the famous ClickWheel control wheel appeared.


iPod mini, second generation
The second generation iPod mini came out on February 22, 2004. The most significant improvement was the increase in battery life up to 18 hours. In addition, the player got a modification of 6 GB.


iPod, fourth generation (iPod Photo)
In July 2004, the fourth-generation iPod came out, also known as iPod Photo. First, the player was produced with a monochrome display, but since 2005 the iPod Photo has a color display capable of displaying 65 thousand colors. The disk capacity was 20 or 40 GB, later - 20 or 60 GB. The player could work up to 12 hours without recharging.
