How to tell what kind of iPod Touch I have if the case can’t be removed

ipod-touch

I'm buying a gift that requires an iPod 3 or newer and I'm trying to get my brother to tell me what kind of iPod he has, but he is unable to open the case it's in.

How can he, using software, tell me what kind of iPod Touch he has?

You can easily check the model of the device using information found in Settings > General > About and a simple Google search..


Open the Settings app and select General.

From the General pane select About.

Scroll down in the About pane until you find the Model.

Type the model number into a Google search box. That should be sufficient, but you can add additional search terms like Apple or iPod Touch if need be.
