The Cupertino-based company told Trusted Reviews that customers will still be able to purchase routers from the Apple Store – just not the AirPort, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule.

It also added that it might return to the router-making space sometime in the future if it’s able to find a way to out-innovate the competition (Google, Linksys, Netgear, etc.). Now it’s told Engadget that after its current stock of AirPort, AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule base stations has been depleted, it will not be replenished – marking the end of the once-lucrative router division.Īpple did note, however, that it will continue to offer support, repairing hardware and rolling out bug fixes when required, to those who purchased an AirPort, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule during their time on the market.
