Do you want to know the generation of your ipod in order to find out if it will be compatible with your computer? Or did you buy it off-hand and now you doubt that the purchase was successful? Identifying the generation of the ipod is not that hard anyway.
Instructions
Step 1
While the first and second generations do not have more than 32 GB of memory, the third and fourth generation iPods may have 64 GB.
Step 2
Please note: the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations do not have a single camera, while the 4th has 2.
Step 3
Check if your ipod has voice control. For the 1st and 2nd, it is absent.
Step 4
Check the processor clock speed: 1st generation - 400 MHz, 2nd - 533 MHz, 3rd - 600 MHz (although 800 MHz was planned), and 4th - 1024 MHz.
Step 5
Determine the amount of RAM. 1st and 2nd generations have 128 MB of "RAM", 3rd and 4th - 256 MB each.
Step 6
Determine if the ipod has a GPU or if the graphics are drawn by the main one. All generations, except for the 1st, have such a processor. The 2nd has PowerVR MBX Lite, the 3rd has PowerVR SGX GPU, the 4th has PowerVR SGX.
Step 7
Determine the type of Wi-fi. The 1st generation has 802.11 b / g, the 2nd has 802.11 b / g Nike +, the 3rd has 802.11 b / g (FM), the 4th has 802.11 b / g / n (802.11n 2, 4 GHz).
Step 8
The screen size for all generations is the same - 3.5 inches, but the resolution is different. 1st, 2nd and 3rd have a resolution of 480 × 320 pixels, and 4th - 960 × 640 pixels.
Step 9
Find out the battery capacity (in hours). The 1st generation will run for 22 hours in audio format and 5 hours in video format. 2nd generation - respectively 36 and 6, 3rd - 30 and 6, and 4th - 40 and 7.
Step 10
Pay attention to the dimensions and weight of the ipod. For the first three generations, these parameters are standard - 110 × 61.8 × 8 millimeters and 115 grams. The 4th generation stands out from the general row - 110 × 5, 8 × 7, 1 and 101 grams, respectively.
Step 11
Check out the controls for your ipod. If the 1st generation has a power button, a Home button and a touch screen, then the next 3 generations also acquired a volume control.
Step 12
The 1st generation ipod did not have additional features. The 2nd generation boasted built-in speakers and Bluetooth, in the 3rd there was a headset that provides voice control, and in the 4th - a gyroscope.
