History

The second-generation iPod Touch was sold in 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB models. Two revisions of the device exist, with the first revision having a BootROM that was exploitable with 24kPwn and a larger device capacity label on the back. On September 9, 2009, Apple introduced a revised version of the second-generation iPod touch under the MC model name, which was only available in an 8 GB variant. It featured a newer BootROM version which patched the 24kPwn BootROM exploit and has a smaller device capacity label similar to that of the third-generation iPod touch.{{Cite web |title=iPod touch 2nd Gen/2009/8 GB 8 GB Specs (A1288/A1319*, MC086LL/A*, 2341, iPod2,1): EveryiPod.com |url=https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ipod/specs/ipod-touch-2nd-gen-late-2009-8-gb-mc-specs.html |access-date=2022-06-14 |website=everymac.com |archive-date=2023-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230219115032/https://everymac.com/systems/apple/ipod/specs/ipod-touch-2nd-gen-late-2009-8-gb-mc-specs.html |url-status=live }}
