Does Apple still support its Time Capsule/Airport combo?

As I noted above,


Apple did provide a firmware update for the Time Capsule about a year and a half ago, but they have not offered any updates since that time. It is unlikely that Apple will offer any future updates for the product.


I said that it is unlikely that Apple will provide any future updates because I can't speak for Apple and they will not divulge any of their future plans to us common folks.


Frankly, I would be amazed if another update appears.

I'll jump in with a question. We do not have internet at our home. I have a time capsule i'd like to set up as a local network only. I believe I have it set correctly. I connected a printer to the TC via USB and can see it on computers connected to the network. My question is do I need to change settings on the TC so when my iPhone is connected to the local network it will still use LTE to connect to the internet?

Not sure what you mean by "support".


Apple discontinued the Time Capsule in April 2018. Since the warranty on the product was one year, there are no Time Capsules still covered by the regular warranty. The exception might if you have AppleCare in effect on one of your Macs, the Time Capsule might be covered for up to 3 years from its purchase date.


Apple does not offer repairs or repair parts for the Time Capsule.


If you have a technical question about the Time Capsule, Apple can likely help over the phone for their standard fee of about $85 or so.

Did you have a specific question about the Time Capsule. If yes, what would that be?
