Out of all the IPod Shuffles which one has the highest space and which one is the newest.
ALSO: On the apple store, they don't say what gen it is so I was assuming that whatever the apple store sells is the newest, am I right?
iPod shuffle, Windows 10
Yes, Apple sells the latest in their stores.
All new iPod shuffles has 2 GB storage space.

What generation is the newest and is sold on the apple store?
4th Generation
Release date July 15th 2015
Newest is 4th gen iPod shuffle, which is the currently sold model. There was a recent change in color choices, but it's still considered 4th gen.
The model with largest storage capacity is 3rd gen iPod shuffle, which went up to 4GB. A limitation of 3rd gen shuffle is the need to have headphones with compatible remote control buttons on the cord (shuffle does not have any buttons).
So what makes the 4th gen better than the 3rd gen?
4th gen is newer, not necessarily "better." Functionally, they are similar, with the one (already mentioned) obvious difference. Apple went for "ultra-minimalist" with the 3rd gen shuffle. It comes with headphones that have control buttons on the cord; the shuffle itself does not have any playback control buttons. If you don't like the Apple headphones, or you wear them out (or lose them), you need to find replacement headphones with compatible control buttons. The current Apple EarPods headphones are not compatible. Or get an adapter with the control buttons, like this

to use the 3rd gen shuffle any standard headphones. The 4th gen shuffle has the familiar control buttons on the shuffle, and it can use compatible headphones with remote control buttons too. And it IS compatible with the current Apple EarPods.
So should I get 4th or 3rd gen?
Unless you can find a used 3rd gen shuffle, with USB docking cable, plus the headphones adapter (and new headphones), all for less than $50, get a new 4th gen shuffle. It comes with new headphones and USB docking cable. You don't need headphones adapter to use it with any standard headphones. And it has a standard one-year warranty.
