As lllaass has asked, what does that prove?


It proves that Apple made an 8GB iPod Touch. However, if you had bothered to read my post (in this thread) of 7th February 2013, you would have noticed the table from Apple's own site that shows two 8GB iPod Touch models. One is a 2nd generation model and the other is a 4th generation.


Here is an image of this discussion page (turned sideways to reduce length). Notice my post - and yours. How did you miss mine?

That same table also shows the 3rd generation versions and if you look carefully, you can see that there is no 8GB model in 3rd generation. I have not photoshopped that image. Here is the link to that page (the original link I put up has a typo and doesn't work): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353


I'll put here again, the text from that same article, referring specifically to the difference between the second and third generation models.

So - we cannot read anything below the 8GB badge in your photo. You shpould be able to, possibly with the aid of a magnifying glass. What is the Model No. shown below the 8GB badge.


On my 2nd gen Touch, it reads "Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China Model No. A1288"

... but I did need a magnifying glass.



You now have two options:

  1. Confirm the model No. on the back of your iPod.
  2. Don't reply. In which case, we'll all know what precisely that means.


Something else you should consider.


As you know, Apple do not contribute to these discussions. So what do you think that those of us trying to convince you that you are wrong have to gain from it? We volunteer here in order to help our fellow users. We are trying to help you. Look at the number of points held by us collectively. Those points have been awarded to contibutors, by the person who originally posed a question, because the post answered their question or at least helped them. So why would any of us continue to be so wrong? Huh?

Hey Fiend, This has been great entertainment, but let it go! What you have is a very good argument with imperial evidence that clearly shows there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod 3 you have shown that the own of the alleged iPod 3 was most likely duped into purchasing an iPod 2 either deliberately or through an advertisement error--Personally, what you have explained for me is how certain politicians keep getting re-elected.😉 Bottom line, try as you may, you just can't make some prople listen to fact! 😁 Cheers, Jem.

I know Jem, you're correct.


My intention has been to reduce the occurrence of these falsehoods, fabrications and flights-of-fancy in the vain hope that one day, the awful truth might sink in.


Hey! Perhaps today's the day.


The awful truth has finally penetrated my skull... These conspiracy theorists will never admit to the fact there was never a 3rd gen Touch with 8GB capacity, no matter what common sense and the obvious tells the rest of us.


😀


*It's a sad day for truth!*
