Apple to Permanently Close Support Community Forums on November 20
· Technology · MacRumors, Engadget
Apple is permanently shutting down its long-running Apple Support Community discussion forums on November 20, 2026. The platform has already transitioned to a read-only state, with no new posts being accepted. First launched in 1998 as the Apple Tech Exchange, the forums served as a user-to-user technical support hub for nearly three decades. Apple stated the decision followed an evaluation of its strategy and customer needs, directing users to the official Apple Support site for guidance.
Why it matters
The closure ends a decades-old peer support resource for Apple users, forcing them to rely on official channels or third-party platforms for technical assistance.
