iPod Classic
I will start by explaining why i chose the iPod classic, i started by owning a mk1 iPod touch, it was a good device, but i didn't keep it too long, that was shortly after they first came out, i then, a lot later, bought a mk2 iPod touch, 8gb, sold that, then bought a mk4 iPod touch 8gb, and gave that to a good friend of mine, so i only had my iPhone, and my iPad, and the fact my iPhone was 16Gb, wasn't sufficient space for any decent quantity of music, so i decided, just to make sure i could play a long choice of music, to buy an iPod, with plenty of space, a 64Gb iPod touch turned out to be more expensive than a 160Gb, so that seemed like a daft choice when what i wanted was a music player, not a fully functioning device that can download apps and do plenty of things, just a good music player that was reliable, and was going to last me for ages, and has brilliant build quality, and i adore apple products, so i couldnt possibly justify my money going to any other company for an inferior music player, in my opinion.
So, without further ado, lets go onto something i just want to add before the pics commence, there are roumers that apple is going to remove the ipod classic from the ipod line up due to lack of sales, Source, iPod Classic Removal From Sale, Rumer.
So, onto the review, i purchased mine from apple's refurbished section, after reading about what makes an apple refurbished product, i was talked into parting with less money for the same quality...

I have to admit, i did expect my ipod classic to come in the box it is advertised in, which looks like this:
However, mine arrived looking like this:

I have to admit, i did expect my ipod classic to come in the box it is advertised in, which looks like this:
However, mine arrived looking like this:
It comes in a new box, and in as good as brand new condition.
Opened up, i find it held in place with something that resembles rather strong clingfilm, but the iPod itself is also wrapped in tight plastic, like brand new, every possible precaution has been taken to ensure this refurbished product reaches you in perfect condition.
As you can see it comes with all the accessories that come with a brand new one, the cable, headphones, dock adapter, and booklets are all brand new.
Lets get it out and look at the iPod, in all its glory:
It works perfectly, its in immaculate condition, and it does exactly what i want, it takes a shedload of music, and then some, and a bit more, and more, and more, and still has room to spare.
So, there isnt much more i can say, lets sum it up to finish.

Pro's
- Price Reduced due to being Refurbished
- Comes in immaculate conditon
- Comes in a good quality box.
- Does exactly what it says on the box, perfectly
Averages:
- Box the refurbished one comes with is not the original box
The Bad:
- If bought none refurbished, awfully expensive at £199.
The price saving makes a nice little difference
