Im asking cause I was on a flight today and I was zoned out listening to the Weeknd right before landing. Flight attendant tells me to cut my iPod "off' so i press pause and take my headphones off. He stands there and says "sir can you please cut if off". I'm like huh it doesn't cut off it just goes to sleep when you don't use it. He says in a smart tone "i have one it does cuts off you just press the middle button". At this point i just give him the straight face and drop the iPod into the setback pocket. He says so you don't wanna turn it "off". I just started looking out the window cause i just imagined US customs officially waiting for me when i got of plane
Having said all this does an iPod turn off? Tv 's turn off, phones turn off, cameras turn off. But does an iPod?

iPod: About Sleep, Deep Sleep, Hibernation, and Sleep Timer
Summary
Sleep

To wake iPod from sleep, press any button and the iPod will wake quickly to the menu. By falling into sleep, iPod goes into a power conservation mode but can wake quickly.
If iPod sleeps while powered, the charging status appears on the screen. When iPod is not powered and sleeps, the screen is blank.

Deep Sleep
If the iPod or iPod mini is left in sleep for about 36 hours, it will fall into deep sleep. To wake iPod from deep sleep, press any button. To wake iPod mini from deep sleep press the Select button. When the iPod wakes from deep sleep, you will see the Apple logo displayed for a short period of time before the menu appears. By falling into deep sleep, the iPod goes into a power conservation mode that requires less power than sleep, but requires more time for the iPod to wake than from sleep.
The following iPod models support deep sleep:
iPod (dock connector)
iPod (Click Wheel)
iPod mini
iPod mini (Second Generation)
iPod with color display (also known as iPod Photo)
Determine which iPod model you have.
Hibernation
Some iPod models support a feature called hibernation. This allows the iPod to go into a power conservation mode after 14 hours of inactivity but resume operation in the same state as when it was last used. The following iPod models support hibernation:
iPod nano
Fifth Generation iPod
When the iPod wakes from hibernation, you will see the Apple logo displayed for a moment before the menu appears.
Sleep Timer
When playing music, iPod sleeps after the amount of time set in the "Sleep Timer" preferences. The default setting for this feature is to never sleep or Off. If you set the timer to go off after a certain amount of time, iPod sleeps after that time has lapsed. The preference is then reset to its default of Off. You will need to reset it to an amount of time if you wish it to go to sleep again.
The sleep timer feature can be accessed in the "Extras" section of the iPod main menu.
Hold Switch
If you wish to have the iPod stay in sleep while it is in your pocket you should deactivate all the buttons by sliding the Hold switch on the top of the iPod to the center.
