Apple iPod Shuffle 4th Generation Review and Features

On August 27, 2010, Apple won a patent for a “Very small form factor consumer electronic product”, which describes the parts and processes that go into making the iPod shuffle’s ultra-portable music player.

On September 1, 2010, the fourth and final generation was released as part of the new iPod lineup. The fourth generation features the return of clickable track and volume controls from the first two generations. The control pad is 18% larger than the second generation of iPod Shuffle, and the dimensions of the device are 29 mm × 31.6 mm × 8.7 mm (1.1 in × 1.2 in × 0.3 in), and it weighs 12.5 g (0.4 oz).

The model also features VoiceOver from the third generation, now with a dedicated physical button, in twenty-nine languages (Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish). It also features Genius and can handle multiple playlists. Like the previous generation, it supports MP3, VBR, AAC, Protected AAC, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), WAV, AIFF and Apple Lossless, and its battery lasts 15 hours of music, according to Apple.

It was originally sold in five colours (silver with a black control pad, green, blue, orange and pink with a white control pad). However, on September 12, 2012, Apple held an event to introduce the iPhone 5 and a new iPod lineup formally.

The iPod Shuffle remained unchanged except for seven new colour options (silver or black with a black control pad or green, blue, pink, yellow, and purple with a white control pad) and a Product Red edition model with a white control pad.

Unlike the second generation, the iPod does not come with a dock but, like the third generation, comes with a 45 mm USB Cable. The included in-box headphones do not feature a remote control, but the device supports them.

On September 10, 2013, to coincide with the release of the iPhone 5S, the “Slate” colour option was replaced with “Space Grey”.

On July 15, 2015, Apple released 6 new colours (blue, pink, silver, gold, space grey, and Product Red) for the iPod Shuffle.

On July 27, 2017, The iPod Shuffle and the iPod Nano were discontinued.
