You must have got really lucky about how the car ran over the iPod, because I have seen a couple iPod's get run over by cars and in all cases where the tire went directly over the body of the iPod the device was essentially compacted flat by about 25% with the screen fractured and crushed down into the body and the electronics and the backing of the iPod had indentations of the street pavement texture.
Needless to say they were history, but fun to take apart and see the mutilated insides.
- freehunter 14y agoAre we talking iPod, or iPod Mini? The structural integrity of the iPod Mini comes from being milled from a single block of brushed metal. The regular iPods of the day were at least two pieces of metal (or metal and plastic). I believe the back of the iPod was even just a thin sheet of aluminum as opposed to the relatively thick unibody iPod Mini. These regular iPods would be trivial to crush. The iPod Mini was a fantastic bit of engineering. I wish Apple had gone with that design for the iPhone. Instead, the iPod Mini look has been turned into phone design by Nokia.
