Is this iPod Shuffle real?

[Mint]

I stayed at Blackpool for the weekend, I tried my luck on one of them grabby things in the amusements and I won an iPod Shuffle. It was in a see through case that they had put it in and had some headphones with it. Everyone I've asked has never seen a real iPod shuffle so they can't compare it to one, I think it's fake anyways because afteralll I won it in a Blackpool amusement grabber.

I know these pics are bad quality cos I took them with my iPhone but I'm sure you will be able to tell if it's real or not by the shape and where the buttons and speaker sockets are. If it's real I'm gonna stick it on ebay for a quick £20.

Its a fake sorry.

The real shuffle didn't connect like that, it connected through the 3.5mm jack through a dock.

This is how it would look on the bottom if it was real: http://s2.guide-images.ifixit.com/igi/2VB3QYBALbBqDGYE.standard

What's the wavey silver line thing?

Edit: lol at above, stop trying to be smart cause that's the brand new generation of ipod shuffles, this is trying to copy the previous generation.

Ok, not that suprised really. But are you sure the shuffle I have isn't just one of the first ones or a foreign version? Not sure if they do a foreign version lol. Because with my old iphone the speaker jack was a different size to the 3g, surely this could be the same type of thing but with the charger port instead?

[Luke]

Nope, it's fake :P

You ahve a headphone and a USB socket, the real only has one, as said numerous times above

[Adam!]

I'm sure it's a fake, look on eBay it's full of identical ones from chinese sellers.

[Corporal]

[Jam]

Plug it in and see if iTunes recognises it, if it dosnt it's not an iPod.

[Nick.]

Thats how the real one should look.

[Marucho]

At least you didnt pay like £50 for it. If it works then keep it. Or sell it anyway (;

[Wootzeh]

Just in case you're not sure, it's fake!

[Kyle!]

To be honest, I'd go to the management of the Amusement park or funfair or whatever and complain, it's clearly meant to look like an Apple iPod Shuffle, and it's deceiving. You're basically wasting your own money on something that you might win which is not what you're expecting, that's what I'd do anyway! :P

They did not claim in any form or way that this was an actual apple product.
