APPLE is deprecating the AirPort Utility application as part of a broader dismantling of its legacy ecosystem, following the termination of Time Capsule support. With iOS 27 and macOS 27, the AirPort Utility will not be available for new downloads from the App Store and will lose official support, which may affect users relying on AirPort devices for network management.
Although users with older versions of iOS or macOS can still use the software, its functionality cannot be guaranteed under the new operating systems. Apple has not provided a specific timeline for total removal, but as active maintenance has ceased, users should expect compatibility issues.
