AirPort Officially Discontinued

AirPort products were officially discontinued by Apple today, meaning any remaining stock will be the last we'll see of it [Source: iMore]. AirPort products were wireless routers made by Apple. The AirPort Time Capsule supported wireless Time Machine backup and the AirPort Express supported AirPlay. I can understand why Apple would want to discontinue this line, since it wasn't integral to Apple's main ecosystem, but I feel like if they expanded it with more unique features and advertised it more, it could've sold better. I would like it if they made them into iBeacons, so you could automate HomeKit devices when you're near one. Regardless, it's clear Apple wants to move onto bigger and better things.
