Learn How the Apple iPod Classic and the iPod Video Differ

By Frederick B Johnson

With so many new products on the market, it's becoming more and more of a challenge to find that ideal "fit". Each company is intent to add on to, and improve, their original creations, swamping the stores with a myriad of products that are sometimes no more different from one another than a simple repositioning of a single button.

Apple would appear to be setting the record though - now introducing its new 6th generation iPod: the Classic. Despite the title, however, this "Classic" isn't so very classic at all. Updated with all of the latest technology, it sends its predecessor - the iPod Video - on a run for its money.

Where the Video had hard drives consisting of 30, 60, or 80 GB; the Classic has reached its full potential at 160 GB. Originally found in either 80 or 160 GB, Apple seems to have settled in the middle ground. The internal hard drives themselves are extremely different from each other in nature and setup (the drastic size contrast aside), and are responsible for the significant bulk of the otherwise sleek design. The 80 GB Classic is ideally thinner while its 160 GB counterpart seems almost brick-like.

Unfortunately, these devices don't have any interchangeable parts with one exception: the headphones (each comes with its own type, but you can easily switch the two if you wanted). The iPod Video's LCD screen works only with its own hard drives - be that 30, 60, or 80 GB - while the Classic's LCD has the potential to span across everything - 30, 60, 80, 120, or 160 GB.

The appearances of both the Video and the Classic are easily confused at first glance, but upon taking a closer look one would realize that the Video sports a sleek, plastic faceplate (making it rather scratch and damage resistant). The Classic, on the other hand, has brought back the original, aluminum casing and comes in your choice of either silver or black coloring.

They both have a metallic backing and both share the same battery attachment qualities (being connected to the frame as opposed to soldered - making it easier to replace). Both devices have a full range of color pixels for displaying pictures, videos, or music files. The Classic comes with an updated (and very flashy) interface that many users seem to enjoy. In addition, the Classic's battery life introduces a whopping 40 hours of audio and 7 hours of video.
