End of an era: Apple's SuperDrive has finally sold out after 16 years

The 2008 , and you'll see the SuperDrive is sold out. That may signify that the ancient device has finally been pulled from sale.

Apple has never been shy when ditching ports, peripherals, or drives in favor of more modern standards or thinner devices. The MacBook Air is one of the more significant examples, being among the first consumer laptops sold without a disk drive.
