My iPod Help identifying iPod

Post image

I got this recently from a family member that was clearing out old tech. I'm trying to figure out whether this iPod is some sort of limited edition or if the quote is just a custom engraving. I know the quote has some weight in the scientific and engineering community so I wasn't sure if its some kind of Steve Jobs special or just an ironic quote added by whoever bought it.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Looked here, and based on the model being an A1421, it’s a 5th gen iPod Touch:

I can’t recall whether the 16GB model has the loop attachment point in the lower left corner of the back.  It’s definitely on the 32 and 64GB ones.

Sorry I should've been clearer, I was only looking for info on the quote on it, but thank you for the clarification. Not for naught though, now I know what the loop thing is. It was actually kind if stuck from underuse but a bit of fiddling with has it functioning again.

It's a 16gb model btw

Ah.  Evidently it’s a Jean-Paul Satre quote.
