History

The June 2013 version of the fifth-generation models features a name change to Airport Time Capsule and a redesign with dimensions of 3.85 inches (9.8 cm) per side and 6.6 inches (17 cm) in height. The square dimensions reflect the size of both the most recent AirPort Express and Apple TV (from 2nd generation onwards), with significantly greater height. The 2013 models feature the same I/O ports on the back compared to previous generations and are available in the same capacities as 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 is identical in dimensions and I/O ports, but lacks the internal hard drive of the Airport Time Capsule.

Trivia

• In June 2013, the fifth-generation AirPort Time Capsule underwent a redesign that made it square (9.8 cm per side) with a height of 17 cm, mirroring the proportions of the contemporary AirPort Express and Apple TV. • The fifth generation AirPort Time Capsule introduced the 802.11ac Wi-Fi standard, representing a significant technological upgrade compared to previous models while maintaining the same storage capacities of 2 TB and 3 TB. • The AirPort Extreme released in the same period shared exactly the same dimensions and the same ports as the AirPort Time Capsule, with the only difference being the lack of an internal hard drive, making it an alternative solution for those who did not need automatic backup.
