Apple's 16-Year-Old SuperDrive Now Out of Stock Worldwide, Likely Discontinued
Friday October 11, 2024. 05:05 PM , from MacRumors
Introduced in 2008, the SuperDrive is an external CD/DVD drive that was released alongside the original MacBook Air, which lacked a built-in CD/DVD drive. Despite having an outdated USB-A cable attached to it, the SuperDrive remained available on Apple's online store until just recently, becoming one of the company's longest-sold products. CD/DVD drives have become a niche market, so it's not surprising that Apple has finally stopped selling the SuperDrive. There are plenty of other CD/DVD drives for customers who really need one, and they don't require a USB-C adapter for use with modern Macs. Nevertheless, it's the end of an era for a legacy technology at Apple.This article, "Apple's 16-Year-Old SuperDrive Now Out of Stock Worldwide, Likely Discontinued" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
