    • Here it is, in all its magnificent glory -- the new Shuffle! We'll post updates on twitter about interesting things that we discover as we go.

    • The box is as dainty as its contents.

    • According to Apple, the Shuffle has a "true volume" of 4,326 cubic millimeters and weighs in at 10.7 grams. A single MacBook Pro 17" weighs as much as 286 of these Shuffles.

    • Shameless plug: In addition to taking things apart, we also sell Mac and iPod parts and upgrades.

  2. iPod shuffle 3rd Generation Teardown: stap 2, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Contents of the box:

    • iPod Shuffle

    • Apple Earphones (with in-line remote)

    • USB Cable

    • Quick Start guide

    • We gave it a quick listen before tearing it apart...

    • The controls are not as awkward as we expected, but we still prefer pushing buttons.

    • Compatibility does not appear to be this iPod's strong suit. We tried this iPod with a Shuffle 2nd Generation dock, but it doesn't fit. We tried the cable with a Shuffle 2nd Generation, and that didn't work either.

  3. iPod shuffle 3rd Generation Teardown: stap 3, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • The usual suspects.

    • Can you pick the Shuffle out of this lineup?

    • The Shuffle does not say iPod (or Shuffle) anywhere. As far as we know, this is the first iPod that Apple didn't label.

    • Upon connecting the shuffle to a computer, we learned that the voice-over feature must first be downloaded via iTunes.

    • Interestingly enough, normal headphones can still be used to listen to music. The only drawback: without Apple's proprietary headphone playback control, you will not be able to change songs or adjust the volume.

    • The headphone playback control offers two buttons for volume control and a center button for playback control. The center button can be clicked once to play, twice for the next track, and three times for the previous track.

    Have you disassembled the headphones with remote yet?

    Have you figured out, how the buttons work? Do they work by connecting two lines with a resistor? Is it possible to add such a remote to other headphones?

    lalala,

    I've added a picture of the opened headphone buttons. Hopefully the picture answers some of your questions.

    The entire headphone assembly is very frail. I assume that making your own adapter for use with aftermarket headphones would be a waste of time -- provided that Apple's adapter is not terribly expensive.

    Miroslav Djuric - Antwoord

    Hey Miro, another question: Inside those headphones does it appear there are any ICs or anything? There is a rumor going around that there is some sort of handshake or DRM that would prevent cloned headphones from working, but from your image they look simply like analog buttons. Is there something on the other side?

    In fact, we cracked ours open: there's a chip behind there. Now what does it do? http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/03/14...

    If the play button is on the proprietary earbuds cable, how does one play and pause the ipod shuffle 3rd gen with a third-party device? Does it just start playing as soon as you turn it on?

    The third party adapter would have to include the play/pause and volume up/down buttons, otherwise it would be of no value to the user. The player does start playing as soon as you turn it on, which is how we were able to test our non-shuffle earbuds without any adapter.

    • On to the dismemberment...

    • Apple hasn't made their iPods easy to open lately, and unfortunately we don't expect things to change with this iPod.

    • We begin by inserting a metal spudger into a crevice between the rear cover and the rest of the shuffle.

    • Inserting the metal spudger creates a gap big enough to insert an iPod opening tool. We slide the iPod tool across the length of the gap to dislodge the left side of the rear cover.

    • Now that one side of the rear cover is fully dislodged, it's easy enough to use the iPod opening tool to dislodge the right side as well.

    where did they put the serial number and "designed by Apple in California", "assebled in china"

    Citaat van timd:

    That information can be found on the rear cover, underneath the belt clip.

    Miroslav Djuric - Antwoord

    Don’t lift the rear cover from the top left corner because there is a small hook on the middle of the top side and if you lift it from the top the hook will try to hold it into position which will cause the rear panel to bend

    • We're in. That wasn't too bad, but the shuffle isn't going to win any awards for easy serviceability.

    • It's fairly easy to bend the rear cover even though it is made out of aluminum.

    • There is a retaining tab on the top of the shuffle that prevents the rear cover from being pulled apart on the top side. The rear cover should be pulled apart from the iPod on the bottom side first.

  7. iPod shuffle 3rd Generation Teardown: stap 7, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Is this the future? A single IC, a battery, and some user interface components.

    • Amazingly, at least on our scale, both halves weighed 5 grams. That means the entire functional half of the iPod weighs only about 10% more than a single sheet of letter size paper.

    is the entire enclosure one block of aluminum or does it have the plastic caps like the older ipods?

    Citaat van 0501701:

    The entire enclosure is made of aluminum. We had to access the internals in order to remove the rear cover, as there were no plastic caps to remove.

    • Remove the small Phillips screw. We won't waste our time circling it -- there's only one.

    • We get lots of requests to add more screw guides. Fortunately we don't need to make one for this iPod. Just don't drop the screw, and you'll be fine.

    • Don't let these pictures fool you, this iPod is very small.

    Why do they not include the last part of the datamatrix? By a decode it should read:

    TT90

    86 9

    03 F

    1297

    0073

    Just one of those things I wondered about.

    • Removing the internals. There's a single connector that attaches the logic board and battery to the rest of the iPod.

    • The form factor of this iPod shares more similarities with the original iPod Shuffle than its immediate predecessor.

    Anyone know the vendor, part of type of connector welded to the flex and used to join the two halves of the electronics together?

    • It's in three pieces now. There are not many parts in this iPod.

    • This is not a surprise, but like all other Shuffles, the battery is soldered to the logic board. Apple does offer a battery replacement service, but $49 is pretty steep considering the entire iPod was only $79.

    • The headphone jack and shuffle switch come out as one unit.

    • The back of the casing is stamped 09/03/03. If that means March 3rd of 2009, then this Shuffle has been assembled for no more than nine days.

    • In the third picture, you can see the white translucent piece of plastic to the left of the headphone jack. This serves to transmit the the LED status light to the outside of the iPod.

    It looks like there's some chipping to the anodizing around the edges.. do you think it will be possible to open these without the chipping?

    It's definitely possible -- but with a careful hand, patience, and advance knowledge of how the rear cover is held in place. For the First Look we had two of three. We had to pry the rear cover a bit more than necessary to figure out what mechanisms are holding it in place.

    Any chance of a shot of the included headphones w/remote? I've yet to actually see those anywhere.

    • Apple's claimed battery life on this iPod is 10 hours. That's two hours less than the previous Shuffles.

    • The 3.7 volt lithium-polymer battery lists a capacity of 0.27 watt-hours.

    • To calculate the capacity in amp-hours, we know P(power) = I(amps)*V(volts), so I = P/V. That yields a capacity of about .073 amp-hours, or 73 mAh. That's definitely record-breakingly small in terms of iPod batteries.

    perhaps place all three parts together facing up? because im confused of which part is which. Also, i understand that u guys arent complete with this guide yet

    0501701 - Antwoord

    That's almost not a battery any more - more like a capacitor! What's really amazing to me is that they get 10 hours of music out of 73 mAh. That's progress.

    • The primary (and only) chip, which is a multi-layered stack containing the CPU, RAM, and 4GB of flash memory. According to its markings, the chip was manufactured in week 7 (late February) of 2009.

    • A quick look at the innards of the earbuds' controls -- nothing too exciting.

    Any chance we can get a wiring diagram of the earbud control in case we get tired of waiting for an adapter?

    mkabala - Antwoord

    Yes, please investigate the headset more if you could, would love a diagram and to see the other side of the button PCB. I have been really wanting to see more details about the remote with mic internals and if there are any chips involved. (not likely given the size)

    Wiring schematic would be amazing seeing as there is no place online that provides them as of yet.

    Yep, me too! The EFF is claiming that there is DRM in the remote interface, based on very weak evidence: the ilounge people heard some beeping and assumed it was some sort of DRM.

    If pictures aren't easy to do, I'd like to know if there is an IC back there, or just a couple of resistors.

    Thanks, and awesome work as usual!

    When you disassembled the headphone, did you notice any kind of authentication chip? There's a small brouhaha going on sparked by a reviewer on iLounge.com asserting that the an Apple authentication chip is required for the headphones to work with the new shuffle. I find it a little hard to believe that there is such a chip in the headphones, so just wondering if you saw anything unusual. Thanks.

Please do not try these things at home because the iPod shuffle had no user serviceable parts take it to a apple store so they can fix it.

Here On iFixit, We try all we can to fix our things!
Plus apple charges more than they should for fixing it.

Ben Capehart -

can I buy some of these components now?

liam siegel - Antwoord

Impossible. Try opening using a ifixit Essential Toolkit, and measuring the dimensions of the battery using Vernier Calipers. Use those dimensions to search for a lipo battery on eBay. Mostly you will find one (atleast $15-20). Use a multimeter in Voltage mode to test the leads of battery. Desolder them and carefully solder battery (keep in mind that the leads are very thick). In that case, short the leads to length, use emery wire to extend and then solder to the board. Then you can bend the Backcover to shape and reseat it. I would use some mobile adhesive like B-7000 to keep it shut. Totally depends on your skill level as this is very very hard and you must know micro-soldering to achieve this. If any other part gets damaged, find a donar iPod to exchange parts. LiPo battery usually has a limited lifetime. It costs you lot of time, and I would attempt this, if I'm the only survivor on the Earth after Doomsday.
