How can I upgrade an iPod?

Christopher Nice

There are several options for an upgrade on an iPod, classic, video, click wheel or mini.

How can I upgrade an iPod?

The iPod classic was Apple’s final and most polished hard-drive-based iPod, offering large storage capacities, a metal design, and the refined Cover Flow interface, while the earlier iPod video introduced video playback and a color screen for movies and TV shows. The iPod click wheel models focused primarily on music playback and simple navigation using Apple’s iconic touch-sensitive wheel, which became one of the company’s most recognizable designs. Meanwhile, the iPod mini offered a smaller, more colorful aluminum body aimed at portability and style, while also debuting the click wheel design that later spread across much of the iPod lineup.
