BTallack Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I've seen many pictures of the iPod, and most of them show the backlight as being blue. My 3G iPod however, has a white backlight. Is this unusual? I don't mind the color being white, in fact I think it makes it easier to read. I just thought it was odd that almost every picture I see of the iPod and iPod mini has a blue backlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I've got a 30gb 3G ipod - bought pretty much as soon as I could get my hands on one. It has a nice blue backlight, however I remember it being "more blue" when I got it than it is today(?). I recall some suspicion that only the "high-end" (30gb and now 40gb) ipods had the blue back light while the others have white. I never really thought twice about it.
