How to tell which generation of iPod Nano
iPod Nano currently have 6 models or generations, we have iPod Nano 1st generation, iPod Nano 2nd generation, iPod Nano 3rd generation, iPod Nano 4th generation, iPod Nano 5th generation and iPod Nano 6th generation. Apple do not make is easy as whilst the 3rd and the 6th are different. It is very confusing to distinguish between the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th. We have found the model numbers work well, they are written just above the serial number.
A1366 refers to 5th generation iPod Nano or iPod Nano 5G
A1320 refers to 5th generation iPod Nano or iPod Nano 5G
A1285 refers to 4th generation iPod Nano or iPod Nano 4G
A1236 refers to 3rd generation iPod Nano or iPod Nano 3G
A1199 refers to 2nd generation iPod Nano or iPod Nano 3G
A1137 refers to 1st generation iPod Nano or iPod Nano 1G
Apples own link Identifying iPod models helps a bit. However we have found the following link is really good, however you will need the serial number on your iPod.
