Latest revision as of 08:10, 23 June 2025

This page concerns the mainline iPods branded with the "classic" name. These iPods mark the switch from PortalPlayer to Samsung processors and were the last mainline iPods ever released. Four versions of this iPod exist, all branded with "classic": the initial version, released in 2007, a thinner Rev A, released in 2008, Rev B released in 2009 and a final Rev C revision not documented here. These revisions are sometimes called the 6th, 6.5th, 7th, and 7.5th generation respectively.

Rev A

This is a revised version of the 6th generation iPod with the "classic" name. It is thinner than the |160GB initial model and was only available with 120GB storage.

Components

Front of the circuit board
Back of the circuit board

Almost exactly the same hardware as the initial model, except that region A is populated. This presumably communicates with the new headphone/remote that Apple chose for this device to support.

Rev B

Rev B is a re-introduced 160GB revision of the classic, announced on September 9, 2009. It is the same size as the Rev A model.

Components

Front of the circuit board
Back of the circuit board

No better teardown pictures of this revision have been found or made by us yet. There is, however, a basic guide of the non-electronic differences by iLounge. Since the model number is the same as Rev A, there probably aren't any worthwhile (if any) changes in the hardware.
