Apple to Permanently Shut Down Apple Support Community Forum After 28 Years
Apple announced the permanent closure of its long-standing Apple Support Community forum, effective November 20, 2026. The platform, which started in 1998 as Apple Tech Exchange and evolved through various rebrandings, has served as a key peer-to-peer troubleshooting resource for users of iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and iCloud. The forum is currently in read-only mode, allowing users to browse existing discussions but not post new content. Apple has not confirmed whether the archived content will remain accessible after shutdown, raising concerns about the loss of a significant repository of community-generated technical solutions. Users are advised to back up important threads and posts before the platform is completely decommissioned. The company directs customers seeking active support to the official Apple Support website.
