Unboxing – iPod1,1: 1st Generation iPod
Theoriginal iPod1,1 unboxing, which epitomizes Apple’s obsession with detail and simplicity. In a clean white box, with only some minimal branding and the hint of an iPod showing through on the top. Upon opening the box, I discovered the iPod perched in a custom-molded plastic tray to keep it from being jostled around during shipping.
Below the iPod you’d find an indispensable FireWire cable (for quick data transfer & charging), standard white earbuds for portable listening, and a USB power adapter to easily juice the player up via an electrical socket. Also in the box is a user manual and quick-start guide, which offers detailed instructions for setting up the device and syncing music via Apple’s iTunes software.
The packaging was minimalist and that strategy allowed user to be set up quickly without messing around. Each item was distinctly placed in a somewhat empty, yet Apple-y way from its early days — obsessive with quality user experience. But, it was a simple unboxing that suggested innovation — you had 1000 songs in your pocket with the thing.
This first impression, helped to evoke anticipation and build up the unreasonable demand for an iPod that would stampede over the industry in following years.
