Apple Design Test

The Apple Design Test is a test administered to Apple applicants year after year. I have done this test twice (September 2022 and April 2021).

Problem Statement

People have complained that the iPod doesn’t have replaceable batteries. For your design project, we would like you to create a battery door mechanism, which will include a door, release button and door latching features to house and cover 2 AA batteries. The button should reside within the mechanical outline of the battery door.

The door should unlock when a user presses a button, which causes the door to pop open in the opposite direction. Please come up with 2 different mechanisms for this door.

Note carefully the mechanism requirement: a downward force on the button, normal to the door, should activate the button.
