If youve been waiting for Apple to refresh its aging wireless router line, unfortunately its time to give up and buy another brand. Thats because a new report from Bloomberg today claims the company has in fact abandoned any development of future routers.
Apple has apparently disbanded the entire division that used to develop its wireless routers, "people familiar with the matter" say. This has happened over the past year, with engineers that previously worked on AirPort routers having been moved to other product development groups inside the company. Some of the people that brought you the last AirPort routers are now working on Apple TV.
The move is part of Apples efforts to focus only on its core consumer products, the ones which generate most of its revenue and profits. This probably shouldnt come as a big surprise, given that the latest refresh for the AirPort line happened in 2013. A n Apple spokesperson declined to comment on the report.
