Unopened original first generation pink Apple iPod Mini, Part No. M9435LL/A, Serial No. JQ452F1PQKK (4GB).

Released by Apple on January 6, 2004, the first generation iPod Mini was introduced as a smaller and more compact version of the original iPod, offering a more lightweight and pocket-friendly design, a 4GB hard drive allowing users to store approximately 1,000 songs, and built-in iTunes integration. The iPod Mini quickly gained popularity due to its compact size, stylish design, and impressive storage capacity, and in due time became one of Apple's best-selling iPod models. The iPod Mini was discontinued by Apple a year later in September 2005, as the company shifted its focus to the iPod Nano, which offered a slimmer design and flash-based storage.
So popular was the iPod Mini during its brief run at the top, that Steve Jobs, at the Q4 2004 Earnings Conference Call, gushed over the success of the miniature media player: ‘We're also thrilled with the performance of the iPod Mini, which now accounts for over half of all iPods sold at retail. The iPod Mini is off to an incredible start, and we're confident it will become one of the top choices for this holiday season.’
