Apple officially discontinues development of AirPort hardware, will sell through remaining stock via online and retail channels

As much as you and I may love Apple’s AirPort routers, as of Thursday, they’re now on the company’s discontinued hardware list.

Late last week, Apple officially ceased development of its AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Express.

Apple has confirmed the move, wherein the company will continue to sell its remaining stock through the online and retail Apple store until supplies last.


The AirPort devices themselves haven’t been updated in years. The AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule debuted in 2013, while the AirPort Express was released in 2012. While Apple’s AirPorts are still completely functional, they don’t offer the major enhancements that have been made in wireless networking technology over the past few years.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
