IPod Dimensions and Sizes, Get the Facts Here!

The Apple iPod series comes with a wide variety of sizes. Some iPod dimensions range from being extremely small like the shuffle to a moderate size like the iTouch. Each of these iPods has various features depending on the size. For example while the iPod shuffle is very small because it has no video displays what-so-ever. So make sure to take in consideration the features the iPod comes along with as well as the overall size.

So what are the exact iPod Dimensions? Here is a list in order from smallest to largest.

iPod Shuffle: The smallest of the bunch.

This is by far the smallest iPod of the bunch. It's actually touted as the smallest mp3 player in the world. It has a height of 1.8 inches and a width of 0.7 inches. The total depth of the iPod shuffle is also only 0.3 inches. If I had to put it to a relative size I would say it's not much bigger than a stick of gum.

iPod Nano: Slightly larger than the shuffle.

The iPod Nano is a quite a bit larger than the iPod shuffle due to the fact it has a LCD screen. The iPod Nano height is 3.6inches with a width of 1.5 inches. The depth is approximately 0.24 inches. Although larger than the iPod shuffle the iPod Nano is still very small.

iPod Classic: Bigger than the Nano but has more features.

The iPod classic is larger than the prior two iPods. I would describe the size of this iPod as being "medium". The iPod classic height is 4.1 inches with a width of 2.4 inches. The total depth of the product is 0.41 inches.

iPod touch: Biggest iPod with a much larger LCD screen.

Like the classic, the iPod touch is a medium sized music player. The iPod touch height is 4.3 inches with a width of 2.4 inches. The total depth of the product is 0.44 inches.

One thing in common with the iPod dimensions is that the larger the iPod the bigger the LCD screen. So depending if you just want a simple mp3 player like the shuffle or a full blown media center like the iPod touch it's going to vary greatly in size.

Some recommendations would be to use the smaller iPod's such as the Nano and Shuffle during physical activity, exercise, on-the-go, or using discretely. The larger iPods with the bigger LCD screens such as the Touch are great for long flights or just full blown mobile entertainment.
