Tips & Tricks
A large collection of high resolution Apple hardware icons is bundled right in macOS, including great icons for nearly all vaguely recent Mac models, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and much more, going all the way back to the G4 series.

To access the hidden hardware icon pack:

• From the Finder's Go menu choose "Go to Folder" and enter the following path:

/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/

• Scroll down until you start finding .icns files named “com.apple” followed by the hardware name

Many of these icons are what you find when using network sharing with a computer they match, but they also make for an excellent way to dress up your matching Mac, for example by replacing the generic Macintosh HD icon or anything else.
