Yeah, I just printed radius gauges and don't have to worry about all that. Still a nice feature if you can't get your hands on the product you design for I guess.

With fusion, you can import a photo and trace over the image. As long as you have known dimensions for scaling, it'll get pretty accurate.

I was literally just working on a similar measurement and this showed up on my feed. Nice tip. I'll use it immediately. Thank you!
@hlop_vmp
This is a workable method for normal rounded corners, but Apple uses smooth rounding (Squircles) so it's not the ideal approach.
@PandaFPV
I figured out, you can put the phone (or any curve) next to your screen and match the fillet. Works for me 🤷🏻♂️
@OneIdeaTooMany
Seems like a great idea provided your calipers are long enough. Still, a very useful technique for non standard corners that I'm going to file away just in case i can make use of it in future. Thank you for sharing!

Apple published accessories design guidelines for every iPhone including the exact dimensions. And the document is free on websites.

Thank you!

Just print a rounded corner measurements object, which features manye different rounded corners. You just place them one after the other on your rounded corner and choose, which suits best.
@KeithOlson
Even easier: print a jig that holds a ruler to 45 degrees to a right-angled frame. Hold the frame to the corner of what you want to determine the radius of and measure from the corner of the frame to the object radius. Now add a similar constraint to your sketch. You can use that jig with absolutely anything. You can also make one to work with a caliper for even more accuracy.
@anoirbentanfous
or better, is to take a photo of the phone, next to a ruler or something that you know the exact dimension of (coin, gauge) then use that as a reference to trace the path (sketch), of course use snapping to get exact rounded dimensions.

Cool trick

Here's tip for an ODD SHAPPED fit: You can just create a close enough design to 3D print, and insert BAKEABLE CLAY in between the object and your print to make the perfect fit. Some saran wrap between the object and your clay will make it remove perfectly. Since it sets at 275 or below (F) your PETG print can just ride along into the oven to give you a really durable shape of anything that you want to grab or encircle (suggested for someone wanting to grab a chainsaw handle to lash up a remote throttle mechanism that was 3D printed).

Just measure from where the straight line becomes a curve to the perpendicular side. 🤷🏾♂️
@big_whopper
I like it
@spaceshipearthresident4283
Use chamfers so you don't have to chase a radius
@BecauseHyena
orrrr just print a case with a much smaller corner radius like a normal person.....
@infoelekblog9688
practical advice is not use fillet, the phone will fit holder if the fillet is smaller. moreover you don't need those to be exact same shape as phone
