Big List Of iPods

This is a (hopefully) complete list of all iPods, together with each iPod’s features. You can compare this with Apple’s “Identifying different iPod models” article if you’re not sure which one you have.

Also check out my posts about detecting iPods from their sysinfo files and (for newer iPods) detecting iPods from their SCSI codepage XML.

Gen is the generation of the iPod.
Special indicates any special features; U2 for U2 ipods, HP for HP-manufactured iPods, Mac for Mac-formatted iPods, PC for PC-formatted iPods, Pepsi for promotional 2005 Pepsi giveaway iPods, RED for (PRODUCT) RED™.
Col? indicates if this iPod has a colour screen.
Vid? indicates if this iPod has video capabilities.
Gb indicates the disk size in Gigabytes for this iPod.
Col indicates what colour the iPod casing is.
Model indicates the iPod model number.
Fam indicates the FamilyID from the iPod’s SCSI XML file.
Serial indicates the iPod serial number endings (last three characters) for this model.
ModelNumStr indicates values of ModelNumStr which I have observed in actual SysInfo files. Where the text is in italics, I have not viewed the SysInfo file directly, but have found it posted on other sites on the Internet, and so cannot vouch for its accuracy. An asterisk indicates that this model number doesn’t appear in the SysInfo file – use boardHwSwInterfaceRev to identify the generation instead.
boardHwSwInterfaceRev indicates values of boardHwSwInterfaceRev which I have observed in actual SysInfo files. Where the text is in italics, I have not viewed the SysInfo file directly, but have found it posted on other sites on the Internet, and so cannot vouch for its accuracy.
For ModelNumStr and boardHwSwInterfaceRev, where I have viewed more than one iPod of that type, the different iPods are listed on different lines. Each ModelNumStr and boardHwSwInterfaceRev pair (on one line) is taken from the same iPod.
Scroll is the type of scrolling device on the iPod.
Connect shows how the iPod connects to a computer.
Bat life (hrs) shows the advertised battery life, in hours. Where this is in italics, it has not been explicitly stated by the source, but has been deduced from the advertised life of like models.
Weight (oz) shows the weight in ounces of the iPod.
Height (in) shows the height in inches of the iPod.
Width (in) shows the width in inches of the iPod.
Depth (in) shows the depth (thickness) in inches of the iPod.
Screen shows the screen resolution of the iPod.
Price shows the US price of this model on launch. Prices in brackets show subsequent price drops. In some cases, rounded prices to $100 (e.g. $400) may represent value initially $1 less (e.g. $399), depending on the accuracy of the source.
Announced is the date the iPod was first announced (in yyyy-mm-dd format).
On sale is the date the iPod was available on sale (in yyyy-mm-dd format) if known.
Discontinued is the date the iPod was discontinued (in yyyy-mm-dd format).
Apple calls it… is the name Apple use to refer to this iPod.
