Unopened second generation original silver Apple iPod Mini, Part No. M9800LL/A (4GB), Serial No. 4U509JWYS41. The box features life-size front and side images of the iPod Mini, a list of the music player's specifications, and text reading: “iPod mini, 4GB 1000 songs PC+Mac.” In brand new, factory-sealed condition.
Unveiled on February 23, 2005, the popular second-gen device saw a price reduction and improved battery life: 'The iPod mini is now available at the magic price point of $199,' said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. 'At this breakthrough price point, and with more than twice the battery life, the new iPod mini should appeal to even more music lovers.' The iPod Mini quickly gained popularity due to its compact size, stylish design, and impressive storage capacity, and became one of Apple's best-selling iPod models. The iPod Mini was ultimately discontinued by Apple a year later in September 2005, as the company shifted its focus to the iPod Nano, which offered a slimmer design and flash-based storage.
