Apple Inc is discontinuing its line of AirPort WiFi routers after not updating the devices for about five years. The routers let Macs, iPhones, iPads and products from other companies connect to the internet wirelessly. Apple had three versions – the AirPort Extreme, which worked over greater distances, a cheaper and smaller unit called AirPort Express, and a version that could store files called the AirPort Time Capsule. Bloomberg News reported more than a year ago that Apple had abandoned development of the routers. The last line to be dropped was external computer monitors, and Apple has already said it would go back to designing its own in the near future.
