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.
iPod shuffle, first generation
iPod shuffle is the easiest and cheapest player in the series. The first shuffle appeared on January 11, 2005 and was released with 512 MB or 1 GB of memory on board. The battery life is 12 hours.
iPod nano, first generation
iPod nano is Apple's first flash-based player. The player appeared on September 7, 2005. The first generation of nano was produced in three versions - with 1, 2 and 4 GB of memory. In addition to music, iPod nano 1G could display JPEG, BMP, GIF and other image formats. Charge the battery enough for 14 work.
iPod, fifth generation (iPod Video)
On October 12, 2005, iPod 5G, known as iPod Video, was released. First of all, this player was able to play video. Secondly, it could boast impressive amounts of disk space (30, 60 and 80 GB) and long working hours (up to 20 hours).
iPod nano, second generation
The second generation iPod nano was released on September 12, 2006. Compared with the first generation, it had twice the amount of memory (2, 4 or 8 GB), an improved case and a brighter screen, was available in several colors and could work up to 24 hours without recharging
iPod shuffle, second generation
The player was released in October 2006. The second-generation shuffle turned out to be completely different from its predecessor. The memory capacity was increased to 1 GB, the battery life remained at the same level - 12 hours.
iPod, sixth generation (iPod classic)
The player was introduced on September 5, 2007. From the sixth generation iPod became known as iPod classic. Disk capacity is 80 or 160 GB (!). Battery life has also been improved - iPod classic can work 30 hours as an audio player or 5 as a video player. In the 160 GB model, the figures are even higher - 40 and 7 hours, respectively.
iPod nano, third generation
The third generation of iPod nano, also introduced on September 5, 2007, is very different from the previous one. The memory size has traditionally doubled - modifications with 4 and 8 GB are available. Operating time is 24 hours in audio mode and 5 in video mode. Yes, this is the most important thing - iPod nano now also supports video!
iPod shuffle, third generation
The only difference between the new shuffle, released on September 5, 2007, is the availability of a special RED version, the money from the sale of which will go to charity.
iPod touch
We’ll finish our review with the most amazing new product that was presented on September 5, 2007 (a surprisingly rich day on iPod releases;) iPod touch is what many wanted, an iPod with an iPhone interface. In addition to the revolutionary interface for the iPod, the player boasts 8 or 16 GB of memory, 22 hours of audio and 5 hours of video playback, and most importantly, Wi-Fi and the built-in Safari browser!
On this our chronological review can be considered complete. But it is quite possible that in six months it will have to be supplemented :)
