Apple’s upcoming iOS 27 software update for the iPhone will end support for the AirPort Utility app.
The news comes after the release notes for iOS 27 beta 2 confirmed that Apple intends to remove the app from the App Store in the near future, with iOS 27 already having dropped full support for the app. Apple warns that while it can still be installed, it may no longer work properly.
AirPort Utility will no longer be available for new downloads from the App Store. If you previously downloaded the app, you can still re-download it. When using AirPort Utility on iOS 27 and later, functionality is not guaranteed.
MacRumors reports that Apple will also remove the AirPort Utility app from new installations of macOS, and that the app may not work properly on Macs that have been updated to macOS 27 Golden Gate.
The AirPort Utility app allows users to manage Apple base stations like the AirPort Express, AirPort Time Capsule, and AirPort Extreme.
Apple is currently beta testing all of its 2026 software releases ahead of an expected release to the public this fall. A public beta is expected to get underway in early July, giving members of the public the opportunity to test the updates ahead of their final release.
