Has anyone heard the real reason for this?

Does anyone know of any good alternatives that actually work? And please don’t suggest Reddit.

LLMs. I’d be surprised if there’s a tech support problem they can’t solve. If so, it’s probably so interesting you can write a blog post about it and/or post it to HN.

For questions about Apple products, I've often had multiple models answer by websearching discussions.apple.com.

LLMs are great at hallucinating menu options that dont exist and entire features that dont exist just to get to the end. Have fun with that.

Have worked with apple machines for over 20 years and have found little to no good information on this website. (Manage 1100 Apple devices)

Relative to profits, this forum costs Apple pennies to run what the hell :(

My gosh I don't remember the last time I found anything useful on there. It feels like every response is someone telling OP that Apple doesn't read those forums, and directing them how to file feedback. Sad though to see Apple pull further away from their community.

Ditto. I'm sure it was a valuable resource during the earlier years of Apple when they were a much smaller company with a much smaller community of users, but those days are long gone.

Link doesn't work, like everything Apple

Is this the useless thing where you posted bugs and Apple ignored you?

Link works just fine for those wondering if it's down already.

I'm glad they are shutting this down, I hope the also switch off the site entirely so search engines don't link to it. It was mostly junk with people posting anecdotal recipes for making things work. It may have been a useful place to find information maybe 15 years ago, but the SNR ratio even then was bad. Good riddance.

It's always been completely useless anyway. Never, EVER, got an answer from it.
