Apple Will Shut Down Its Support Forum in Ten Days ⇥ 9to5mac.com

Marcus Mendes, 9to5Mac:

Users visiting the Apple Support Community tonight were greeted with a message informing them that the platform will permanently shut down on November 20. Here are the details.

I am surprised by how abrupt this is. Based on the wording of Apple’s note, it seems as though the entire archive is likely to be removed in ten days. I have never found these kinds of forums particularly helpful, though, and I think it is probably for the best that Apple removes a potential source of confusion between official support channels and unofficial ones that happen to share a domain name and hosting.
