Apple gives up on making wireless routers, AirPort line is dead

21 November 2016
If you've been waiting for Apple to refresh its aging wireless router line, unfortunately it's time to give up and buy another brand. That's because a new report from Bloomberg today claims the company has in fact abandoned any development of future routers.

      There is no profit in consumer modem/router. There is only like 3 companies left that's still good with a dozen never heard of budget brands.

          iSheep, 22 Nov 2016Apple will stop making Samrtphones when you stop making dum... moreThey should quit since they dont innovate. Theres no true competition now between ios and Android since Apple is way behind on everything. They cant even come up with a new face design, same thing over 4 years, same front face since the first device, hello its 2016. Stop creating ridiculous names to make people believe its something new. Be creative.

                      btw apple will not be giving out USB-C cables with the extra charging adapter you buy.
                      Apple has officially become a joke.
