Apple's Dimensional Drawings Offer Detailed Look at 96 Devices

The documents are collected in the Dimensional Drawings section inside the Accessories area of Apple's developer site. The current set covers products including the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 4, Apple Watch Series 12, and AirPods 5. It also includes devices such as the MacBook Neo and Siri Remote, along with accessories such as AirTag, AirPods charging cases, and the Apple Vision Pro's ZEISS Optical Inserts.

Each drawing provides measurements for a device's overall dimensions and curves, as well as for its buttons, cameras, sensors, speakers, and connectors. The documents also include detailed keepout zones and instructions showing where certain materials should not be placed. Those specifications are intended to help accessory makers create products that fit Apple hardware accurately.

The resource is not limited to third-party manufacturers. According to 9to5Mac, the drawings may also appeal to people with an interest in hardware, industrial design, or the level of attention to detail associated with Apple products. The report noted that Jason Kottke, publisher of kottke.org, linked to the Apple Dimensional Drawings section in a recent post.
