Identification and Background

The first generation iPod shuffle, released early 2005, was the first iPod to use flash memory. It is easily recognizable by the male USB connector under the plastic cover on the lower portion of the shuffle.

Use the iPod identification system to help you identify your iPod. They tend to look very similar, and it's important to know which one you have before ordering any replacement parts.
