One of the best routers I’ve ever owned. Too bad Tim discontinued it because it wasn’t making enough profits for him.

Too bad iOS devices can't directly backup to an airport time capsule. What a failure of an ecosystem.

Anyone know of any other company that discontinues a product and then releases a firmware or software update for that product 6 months or more later? Hats off to Apple! Many thanks!

One of the best products Apple has ever made, and Tim Cook's decision to drop it, is one of the dumbest decisions he has ever made; but it's early in the week.
