History

The June 2013 release of fifth-generation models presents a name change to Airport Time Capsule and a redesign with dimensions of 3.85 inches (9.8 cm) in width and 6.6 inches (17 cm) in height. The square dimensions recall the proportions of both the latest AirPort Express and Apple TV (from 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 of the 4th generation of 2 TB and 3 TB, but introduced the latest Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard. The new AirPort Extreme released in the same period has exactly the same dimensions and I/O connectors, but without the internal hard drive of the AirPort Time Capsule.

Trivia

• In June 2013, the fifth-generation Airport Time Capsule introduced the Wi-Fi 802.11ac standard, representing a significant technological leap compared to previous generations. • The square shape of the 2013 Time Capsule deliberately reflected the design of AirPort Express and Apple TV (from the 2nd generation onwards), creating aesthetic harmony among Apple accessories. • The 2013 AirPort Extreme shared exactly the same dimensions and ports as the AirPort Time Capsule, differentiating itself solely by the absence of an internal hard drive.
