Apple to shut down its Support Community forum on November 20
Apple announced it will permanently shut down its Support Community forum on November 20.[1, 2, 3] The forum gave Apple users a place to exchange advice, troubleshoot, and chat about Apple products.[3] It has been placed into read-only mode, with a message from the company announcing the closure.[3]
Fast Company reported the forum has existed in some form since the late 1990s and is one of Apple's oldest online services.[2] Fast Company argued the closure, while abrupt, makes a lot of sense.[2]
Why it matters Users will lose the forum where they posted questions and got answers about Apple products like the iPhone and Mac.[2]
