History

The fifth generation version released in June 2013 features a name change to Airport Time Capsule and a redesign with dimensions of 3.85 inches (9.8 cm) square and 6.6 inches (17 cm) in height. The square dimensions reflect the proportions of both the latest AirPort Express and Apple TV (from the 2nd generation onwards), with significantly greater height. The 2013 models feature the same I/O connectors on the back as previous generations and are available in the same capacities as the 4th generation of 2 TB and 3 TB, but introduce the newer 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard. The new AirPort Extreme released at the same time features exactly the same dimensions and I/O connectors, but lacks the internal hard drive of the Airport Time Capsule.

Trivia

• In June 2013 the AirPort Time Capsule was redesigned with a square shape that reflected the dimensions of the AirPort Express and Apple TV, but significantly taller at 17 centimeters. • The fifth generation of the AirPort Time Capsule maintained the same storage capacities as the previous generation (2 TB and 3 TB) but introduced the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, which was much faster. • The 2013 AirPort Extreme shared exactly the same dimensions and ports as the AirPort Time Capsule, differing only in the absence of an internal hard drive.
