Is this for the POS one that had no controls at all?
- X-Cubed 3y agoNo, this one had a central Play/Pause button surrounded by a D-Pad ring for prev/next track and volume. No display though.
- NoPedantsThanks 3y agoThis was really the best design. The metal one that was a big clip.
- Erratic6576 3y agoI recently rediscovered one doing home archeology and it’s still working
- infotainment 3y agoYou're probably thinking of the 3rd gen version, which, had exactly zero buttons (the only way to control it was to press the button on the included Apple earbuds): https://apple-history.com/ipod_shuffle_3g https://apple-history.com/ipod_shuffle_3g
- userbinator 3y agoEven Apple probably thought that was a bad decision, since the subsequent generation returned to the usual controls. Fortunately someone RE'd the protocol and posted about it publicly: https://web.archive.org/web/20130114082119/http://david.carne.ca/shuffle_hax/shuffle_remote.html https://web.archive.org/web/20130114082119/http://david.carn... The same measurement of resistance between the innermost two contacts is now a standard for Android in-line headset controls, although Apple's implementation used 0, 4.7k, and 10k ohms instead of Android's much lower (<1k) values.
- NoPedantsThanks 3y agoI love how a couple of its designers downvoted that simple question.
