Apple's SuperDrive: An Era Comes to an End
16 Years of Faithful Service
After 16 years of loyal companionship, Apple's SuperDrive, the ubiquitous CD reader, has finally bowed out. Once an indispensable accessory for the tech-savvy, the SuperDrive has been quietly phased out of production, marking the end of an era.
A Silent Goodbye
The writing was on the wall for some time. In 2008, the sleek and innovative MacBook Air debuted without an optical drive. To compensate, Apple introduced the USB SuperDrive, a compact and portable solution for playing CDs and DVDs. However, even this lifeline has now been cut.
As noted by 9to5Mac, the USB SuperDrive is no longer available for purchase through Apple's online store. The product listing for the $79 device has disappeared, leaving many to speculate about its fate.
