The first generation iPod shuffle is unique in its form factor, having a built-in USB 2.0 port, additionally used for accessories. It makes use of a SigmaTel processor, not used by any other iPod. It also does not run iPod Software, being the only non-iOS iPod not to run iPod Software.

The iPod shuffle (2nd generation) abandons the "USB stick" design, switching to a rectangular design with a belt clip, and an aluminium finish. The device exposes a USB port via an included adapter on the 3.5mm headphone connector. It is not to be confused with the iPod Radio Remote, an iPod accessory with very similar design, in white plastic.

The iPod shuffle (3rd generation) returns to a tall form factor much like the first generation iPod shuffle. It retains the USB port exposed via 3.5mm headphone connector from its predecessor, rather than using a built-in USB port, in addition to retaining the clip. This model is notable for removing all buttons, depending entirely on remote controls on headphones. Song information is read out by VoiceOver text-to-speech, pre-generated by iTunes while syncing the device.
