Which iPod do I have?

You can tell which iPod you have by its model number, as listed below. The model number can be found on the back of your iPod, near the bottom. Some iPod Shuffle and iPod Nano models list the model number under the clip.

NOTE: Do not confuse the model number found on the hardware with the "model number" found in your iPod's software, which is actually an "order number."
