USB?
The article says the connectors are USB/Firewire but the iPod Classic connectors were all Apple's 32 pin proprietary connector which was discontinued with the discontinuation of the classic 6th generation. Or did i miss something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmhowitt (talk • contribs) 08:39, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
: At the host end, the wire is USB-A or Firewire. At the iPod end, it's 30-pin. The reason we bother to state that it was USB/Firewire on the host end is because the iPod hails to a bygone era when it wasn't unheard of for devices to connect to PC via an ancient "D-Sub" 9-pin serial or 25-pin parallel connector (designed in the 1970s!). For example, the Rio PMP300 connected via the parallel printer port. Heck, when the first-gen iPod came out, Sony was still insisting that it was totally cool for users to record their MP3s to MiniDisc via an analog connection! — TheHerbalGerbil(TALK|STALK), 05:53, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
:On all 30 pin iPods it is important to state the host-side connection type, because the different iPod models have varying levels of support for USB and Firewire over their 30 pin ports. For example, the 3rd gen classic can use USB and Firewire for data, but can only charge over Firewire. The 4th gen classic can do data over both USB and Firewire, and can also charge over both. The 5th gen classic goes the other way - it can do data over USB, cannot sync over Firewire, but can charge over both. By the time we get to the 4th gen nano, Firewire support was dropped entirely in favor of USB for both data and charge. Crozone (talk) 06:02, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
