Come on, finally bring Apple AirPort back
A what? This may need to be briefly explained to the younger readers, after all Apple stopped selling 5 years ago and even then the parts had been on the market unchanged since 2013. Ergo: Nothing has changed in this regard at Apple for 10 years.
An AirPort base station ( last sold as the AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, and Time Capsule, respectively) is nothing more than a wireless router . What sounds banal today was a minor revolution in the summer of 1999. I was there live on the screen when Steve Jobs presented the first iBook and proudly presented the WLAN capability as a small "one more thing". Back then, “AirPort,” as Apple called it, was still optional. But soon WLAN also became standard at Apple.
Apple's AirPort base stations were easy to set up . Something that you can't always say about the alternatives on the market, even today. The software-side integration with Mac, iPhone and iPad was an advantage for Apple and users. Something I still miss today.
