  • The iPod shuffle has been around for over a decade, and has seen only moderate improvements over its lifecycle.

      The perfect iPod Shuffle would be the 4th gen but with 4 GBs of storage.

      Same. The 4GB model of the 3rd gen was the first iPod I ever used

      I just hate how small it is bet so many people lost them after a month I think the gen 2 has best but it should have 4 GB heck all iPod shuffle models should be 4gb

    @PaginasLetea Před 8 měsíci +3

    My first iPod was a second-generation shuffle back when I was like 11, and then afterwards I rode my iPod Touch into the smartphone era, I had like 2 or 3 of them, they were great

    Im still rocking my 1GB Ipod Shuffle 2nd Gen. I love it. But they should bump it up to like 4GB or higher. That would be sweet!

    I remember using the iPod 1st shuffle, I really enjoyed it's simplicity, and the idea that I had a good music library back in middle school.
    sadly the USB connector broke off, and the battery is completely dead. I really miss it a lot.

      the 3rd gen iPod shuffle is a bit confusing but not as bad as some people think.

    • @swabby429
      @swabby429 Před 7 lety +1

      It's great as long as the ear buds don't break or if you don't want to use better quality earphones or patch it into an amplified system. A 3rd gen iPod with onboard controls would be ideal.

    • @szaka9395
      @szaka9395 Před 3 lety

      i hate apple products, but bought 3rd gen ipod for funny price of like 10$. The software to transfer music was terrible, but this small, cute, featherweight mp3 player got special place in my heart. Again, apple had to fuck it up somehow, so after 2-3 years if your earphones failed you couldnt buy any other with working remote. Tried like 5 and gave up. I spent more money on different apples earphones than on ipod. No thanks.

    Just a small tip:
    • I prefer talking over the first "animation/joke" then being silent
    • Love the zoomed shot when you're putting the iPod over the head, but in the future don't cut it so quickly.

    Am I the only one that liked the 1st Gen the best? It's simple. A thumb drive with music controls. Awesome! The 2nd and 3rd gens lost that simple "USB plug" construction and made "holding your files" so much more convoluted.

  • @GRCanalYT
    @GRCanalYT Před 7 měsíci +1

    My opinions
    Shuffle 1st gen: Great. It has a three position switch, and it's a USB drive
    Shuffle 2nd gen: Great, it functions similarly to the 1st gen, but the three position switch has been separated into two switches, it's smaller, and it has a clip
    Shuffle 3rd gen: I don't like it. It looks like they removed the buttons and moved them over to the left -earpod- earbud. It also introduced voice-over, which I like it (because I wanna know what's the name of that artist), but it's so confusing to me that Apple put a video on their website
    iPod Shuffle 4th gen: This one I like it a lot. Not only because it looks like the 2nd gen, but is also because it has voice-over from the 3rd gen. Overall, great
    For those who loved the 3rd gen iPod shuffle, reply to me if I'm wrong

    I LOVE my iPod shuffle, I don't know what generation it is (I think the first) however I haven't used it in ages and it does not charge :( from looking at other CZcams videos it may need a new battery (even though it's been docked in the iHome radio for ages. Any suggestions for new battery or charging options? Thx.
