Apple is Shutting Down is Support Community Platform

Apple announced today that it will shut down its Support Community platform on November 20, 2026. The website has just been put into a read-only state, and existing members are no longer able to create new posts.

“We want to thank the community members who have contributed their time and expertise to help others with their Apple products,” the company says in a message on the website’s landing page. For those unfamiliar, Apple’s Support Community platform worked as a forum-like platform where users of Apple products could ask questions and get insights from experienced customers.

MacRumors reached out to Apple about the closure of the platform, and the company responded that it decided to shut it down after carefully evaluating its strategy and customer needs. With the platform closing permanently on November 20, it’s possible that the Internet will lose some valuable information about Apple products.

Apple is redirecting users to its Apple Support site to “find trusted guidance.” However, most members will likely move to Reddit, which has very active subreddits dedicated to Apple products.
