What Apple announced

iPod (5th gen)

iPod · iPod Classic · discontinued 5 September 2007

The iPod Classic (stylized and marketed as iPod classic and originally simply iPod) is a discontinued portable media player created and formerly marketed by Apple.

There were six generations of the iPod Classic, as well as a spin-off (the iPod Photo) that was later re-integrated into the main iPod line. All generations used a 1.8-inch (46 mm) hard drive for storage. The "classic" suffix was formally introduced with the rollout of the sixth-generation iPod on September 5, 2007. Prior generations of the device had simply been marketed as the "iPod". It was available in silver or black from 2007 onwards, replacing the "signature iPod white".
