Apple publishes detailed hardware blueprints for iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro

heise.de (German) —

Apple has published detailed dimensional drawings of its hardware products on a public website, providing technical specifications for devices like the iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro. The drawings are freely accessible without registration or developer program membership. The PDF files cover Mac, iPad, iPhone, Watch, Vision Pro, AirPods, TV & Home, and accessories, with models ranging from older generations to the latest iPhone 18 Pro. Apple states the drawings primarily help accessory manufacturers design compatible cases and peripherals, though they also serve informational purposes. Users creating products based on the drawings must agree to Apple's license and contract terms. The materials include hidden tips, such as Vision Pro areas that must remain uncovered to prevent overheating, and can also be used creatively for wallpapers. Apple updates the drawings regularly, though future Mac additions remain uncertain.
