You finally get around to doing your spring cleaning- just a few months late- when you come across your old iPod. You neglected it once newer  Apple devices arrived and hit the market. Now you wonder “ What iPod do I have?” 

Just over 19 years ago, Steve Jobs announced the launch of the first iPod, which has changed the way we access our music forever. Since then, over 20 models have been released, so it can get a bit confusing.

If you feel nostalgic and desire to listen to your music the way you used to but your iPod is not working properly, i Fix Your i can run a diagnostic test for free as well as repair your device for an affordable price.

Here’s a breakdown of what device may be storing your throwback tunes and classic hits.
