Controls. Buttons are back.

It’s back — the big, clickable control pad on the front of iPod shuffle. It’s 18 per cent larger than on previous iPod shuffle models, so it’s even easier to see and use the music controls. Press the centre button to play and pause. Press the outer buttons to skip forward or back and adjust volume. Click, click, click. It’s music to your fingers. Play it your way.

Design. As beautiful as it is wearable.

Its main body is crafted from a single piece of aluminium and polished to a beautiful shine, so the new iPod shuffle feels solid, sleek and durable. And the colour palette makes it the perfect fashion accessory. Choose gleaming silver, blue, green, orange or pink.

It talks to you.

Give your songs a voice. Say you’re listening to a song and want to know the title or the artist. Just press the new VoiceOver button on top of your iPod shuffle, and it tells you.3 You can even use VoiceOver to hear the names of playlists and switch between them. And if your battery needs charging, VoiceOver tells you that, too.

Hundreds of songs to go.

Never leave a favorite tune behind. Along with up to 15 hours of battery life,1 iPod shuffle gives you 2GB of storage capacity, good for hundreds of songs.2 That’s plenty of room for the essential songs of your workout or commute. And for multiple playlists, Genius Mixes, podcasts, and audiobooks, too.
