The 1st generation is much larger and a different color then the 2nd or 3rd.

Physical size doesn't help as I only have 1 box to look at. What about model numbers?
Really.
Then what about the color that I showed you.
Come On.
Black or Silver ?
Or look here:
You said "different color". Again, I only have 1 box, so cannot compare. To your direct question "black or silver", it is black.
The URL link you provided leads to a 404 error page in Spanish.
So, I ask again, does the model number distinguish between generations?
It's simple.
You can tell by the model number at the bottom.
3rd Gen woud have Model number on bottom: A1427 or A1469
2nd Gen would have Model number on bottom: A1378
1st Gen would have Model number on bottom: A1218
