    This makes me feel so old. I cant believe this lil guy came out 20 years ago.

    I can’t be the only one who thinks the AAA battery dock makes it look like a tiny WiiMote??

    18:21 Many people don't know that "limited edition" means "put in mouth." That caught me SO off-guard and now it's the funniest thing in the world to me.

    Believe it or not, I got told I was being ridiculous for wearing a 2nd gen during a job interview for a UK apple authorised reseller. 😂

    I love those little 3.5mm headphone jack to USB cables, I’ve still got mine from my iPod shuffle and every now and again I run into it in my bin of cables.

    PLEASE make a video like this for the iPod Touch over the years.
  • @BeroOgden
    Before you opened the cover on the charging accessory i thought "no way, that thing had a battery powered charging accessory?!" Which also confirmed why i thought it kind of looks like the battery powered pack attachment that went on Xbox controllers.

    You forgot to color grade the clip @ 15:58 heh, but awesome video as always from my favourite YouTuber!

    iPod shuffle was the best iPod...ever. Honestly. The reliability (I think my first gen shuffle went through the wash like 4 times) and small size was brilliant. It had enough music on it for the day, and was actually easier to navigate than you might think because you could navigate backwards or forwards from the start of the playlist so you were kind of plunked down in the middle of the music and it was pretty easy to get to a specific song you wanted, etc. It was so easy to charge and always have with you, plus had the convenience of being a flash drive which you used to need.

    I bought a 4th gen shuffle for only £19 and I absolutely love it! It can hold like 40 albums, still has decent battery life and my mum is now jealous and wants one for her birthday!! Truly a legendary set of products.

    Unboxing an obscure iPod, then immediately eating it. Never change Quinn!

    0:20 - oh man, that iTunes design reminds me of the day I installed it on my PC to see what the fuss was about, and it physically renamed and reorganised my music folders ON MY HDD!! Uninstalled immediately. Took me months to fix that. iTunes couldn't simply create an index of my music, it had to mess with my file structure. Never again, Apple! Never again.

    I had a cassette player with an inline remote on the headphones cable in the '90s 30 years ago

    I LOVED my 3rd Gen Shuffle. I did have a Belkin adapter that included the controls so I could use any earphones.
