Tweet from twitter @ iPhoneMania_jp February 16, 2022 21:16 It takes about 2 minutes and 2 seconds to read, but Apple used to use a series called AirPort (AirPort in Japan) for wireless LAN. I was selling a router. US media Macworld suggests that "Apple should revive AirPort now."

AirPort series discontinued in 2018

In 1999, Apple launched the AirPort (AirPort) series of wireless LAN products, along with the company's first notebook PC "iBook" with a Wi-Fi connection function. However, development was discontinued in 2016 and sales were discontinued in 2018.

AirPort Time Capsule was the last product

"The AirPort series was great because it made it easy to use confusing technology," said Dan Moren of Macworld, who said it was easy to set up with little networking knowledge in the early days of Wi-Fi. I highly appreciate AirPort. He continues that while the AirPort series was more expensive than other companies' products, it was well worth the money for its reliability, ease of use, and ease of setup. However, competitors are launching new routers one after another, and some companies are developing and selling mainly Wi-Fi products. The last product in the AirPort series was the "AirPort Time Capsule" released in 2013.

Significance for Apple to re-enter the router market

"Wireless technology is becoming an increasingly important part of Apple's ecosystem," Moren said. Given the fact that all Apple products are connected to Wi-Fi, it makes sense for Apple to re-enter the router market. Claims to be big. He also suggested that if Apple values ​​security and privacy, it should also provide a Wi-Fi router in-house, and hopes that Apple will also design it.
