Apple is killing its Support Community forum next week
Apple is shutting down its long-standing Support Community forum on November 20, 2026, transitioning the site to read-only mode immediately. The company has not clarified the fate of the historical user-generated content.
Why it matters
This marks the end of a nearly 30-year-old community resource, forcing users to rely solely on official Apple support channels.
It’s the end of the road for the Apple Support Community. The dedicated discussion forum, which gave Apple users a place to exchange advice, troubleshoot, and generally chat about Apple products, has been placed into read-only mode, with a message from the company announcing that the Support Community will shut down for good on November 20th.
