iPhone 5 Blueprint [10200×6600]

Was this meant for case manufacturers? Interesting that the copyright dates back to 2010, perhaps when Steve was helping design this?
 
Don't expect to find great info like this among the troll and repost threads....great find.

They had the iPhone 5 designed while the iPhone 3G(s) was only on the shelves for a few months. I guess the iPhone 6[?] is already on the verge of completion as we type.
 
Well we all know apple test their phones for a year, so actually the iPhone 5 is last year phone. The are probably testing iPhone 5S or 6 in their labs as we speak.
 
That's just a generic copyright date on the drawing title block. The drawn and detailed fields are 9/12/12; the date they released this to case manufacturers I guess. I'm an engineer working in the auto industry. Those generic text areas on the title block to not get updated regularly.
 
I am an engineer too, and this clearly isn't a drawing that Apple would use internally to describe the component sizes.

This is clearly a drawing intended only for accessory manufacturers. Any thing they us internal for construction of the phone would have to have a better tolerance range. A +/- of .20 mm for a dimension to X.XX is pretty big for even larger parts, let alone a cell phone.

Curiously, there is no drawing number or revisions to this drawing.
