Apple Is Killing Its Support Community Forum Next Week

Apple is shutting down its Apple Support Community forum on November 20, ending a user-to-user support platform whose history stretches back to the 1998 launch as the Apple Tech Exchange. The forum is already read-only, and Apple has not said whether the nearly three decades of community posts will be preserved or disappear when the site closes. Here's the full banner notice that's currently displayed on the website: "The Apple Support Community will permanently close on November 20, 2026. Starting today, the site will no longer accept new posts and is available in a read-only state. You can continue to find trusted guidance and support on the official Apple Support site. We want to thank the community members who have contributed their time and expertise to help others with their Apple products." Apple told MacRumors that it decided to sunset the forum after a careful evaluation of strategy and customer needs. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
