This is a genuine pre‑owned iPod Classic 4th Gen Photo. These devices are 15+ years old, so expect light signs of normal use: fine scratches on the stainless steel back, possibly small scuffs on the white plastic front. The screen is free of cracks, and the Click Wheel works beautifully. We hand‑pick units in Good to Very Good condition – no major dents or functional issues. For collectors who need near‑mint, please message us and we will check our inventory.
We currently have units with 20GB, 30GB, 40GB, and 60GB hard drives. Please message us before ordering with your preferred capacity. Each one is fully tested and contains a working hard drive. Keep in mind that original hard drives are mechanical – they may be slower than flash but part of the authentic retro experience. We guarantee functionality.
