History

Announced in September 2006, the iPod shuffle (second generation) was even smaller than the original iPod shuffle. It now included an integrated clip and used a small dock for connection instead of a built-in USB connector. It was sold in a single 1 GB configuration at the price of 79 US dollars.

Trivia

• The second-generation iPod shuffle was so small that it required an integrated clip to be worn, since it didn't even have a pocket to fit into easily. • Unlike the first model, this version abandoned the integrated USB connector and introduced a small dedicated dock for charging and data transfer. • With a price of just $79 and a capacity of 1 GB, it represented the most affordable music player in Apple's catalog, making it accessible to an even wider audience.
