History

The June 2013 version of the fifth generation models presents a naming change to Airport Time Capsule and a redesign with measurements of 3.85 inches (9.8 cm) per side 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 the height being significantly greater. The 2013 models feature the same I/O connectors on the back as previous generations and are available in the same capacities as the fourth generation of 2 TB and 3 TB, but introduce the latest Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard. The new AirPort Extreme released in the same period has identical dimensions and I/O connectors, but lacks the internal hard drive of the Airport Time Capsule.

Trivia

• In June 2013, the fifth-generation Airport Time Capsule changed its name and design, taking on a square form that echoes the dimensions of the AirPort Express and Apple TV, but with a significantly greater height of 17 cm. • The 2013 models maintained the same storage capacities as the previous generation (2 TB and 3 TB), but introduced the new Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard for faster connectivity. • The AirPort Extreme released in the same period had exactly the same dimensions and ports as the Airport Time Capsule, differentiating itself only by the absence of an internal hard drive.
