iPhone 5 corner radius?

I'm modeling the iPhone 5 in 3d and wondering what the radius of the rounded corners are? I'm using the case design guidelines that apple provides but I don't see it there. Everything else is there so I find it very strange that the mesurments for the corners aren't.

iPhone 5, iOS 7

Hi, I had a similar problem. The solution is as follows:


1. draw a rectangle with the outside dimensions

2. select one corner to model the rounding

3. draw a two horizontal lines parallel to the short side

a) first is 7.35mm from top edge

b) second is 11.60mm from top edge

4. draw a vertical line at 9.28mm from side edge

5. make an ark starting at intersection point of top edge and line from (4) and ending at first horizontal line (3a)

6. make an ark starting at ending point of previous point and intersection of side edge and 11.60 line (3b)

7. make first ark tangent to top edge

8. make first ark tangent to second ark

9. make second ark tangent to side edge


That should be all.

1. Draw an outline of the iPhone, connecting the lines at right angles.

2. Measure the diagonal.

3. Measure the diagonal of the actual iPhone.


The difference between the two measurements is equal to 2X the radius.


An easier method may be to Google "drawing of the iPhone 5". For example:
