The iPod was originally designed to be connected via FireWire only. It took an incredible amount of internal pressure to get Steve Jobs to relent and allow USB.

- ascagnel_ 4y agoThe iPod only went USB once USB 2.0 was widely deployed (the spec was ratified in 2001, the first USB iPod was 2003). USB 1.0/1.1 (1.5/12Mbps) were not fast enough for the 5GB-20GB drives of the day, especially compared to the prevailing FireWire standard (400Mbps).
