Apple loads up its router division. Goodbye to AirPort?

After trying many and varied solutions, I decided a long time ago to buy a AirPort Extreme from Apple and I couldn't be happier for everything it offers. That is why at first I felt some concern when I heard a news published in Bloomberg by the hand of Mark Gurman who assures that Apple has "loaded" its router division by having its engineers go to work in other departments.

According to Gurman, who cites sources close to the subject but I think they are people he knows within the company led by Tim Cook, Apple's intention is a way to release ballast to fly higher, that is, they pretend to forget about some of their products in order to create better versions of the devices that bring them the most money. In this way, the routers would share the same destination as the monitors on the block.

Are we facing the end of the AirPort range?

According to Gurman's sources, the movement has not started recently, but started last year, when they began to relocate some of the engineers from the router division into other development groups, such as Apple TV. In addition, the AirPort range was regularly updated until 2013 and since then no new Apple router has been launched, so it seems that Apple will no longer launch another router bearing its brand.

However, we will have to wait to see what this movement to eliminate Apple's router division translates into. The AirPorts are the best option for the apple ecosystem, which may mean that those of Cupertino will allow us to do the same with similar devices from another brand. If this ends up being the case, usuryrs could win, first by be able to use other routers that do the exact same thing at a lower price and ending by enjoying the best devices that they would launch to be able to focus more time on them. What do you think?
