Apple\u2019s USB SuperDrive is showing up in Apple\u2019s online stores as \u201csold out or unavailable in all countries,\u201d MacRumors<\/em> reports<\/a>, which could indicate that Apple has discontinued the CD \/ DVD player. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n It\u2019s not a huge surprise that Apple might be done with the SuperDrive. The product first launched with the original MacBook Air, which didn\u2019t have an optical drive, in 2008, so it\u2019s quite old. The SuperDrive was shown as \u201csold out\u201d online on Apple\u2019s US online store earlier this year<\/a>. And physical media just isn\u2019t as widely used as it once was, even though there have been multiple recent reminders of why digital ownership sucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apple didn\u2019t immediately reply to a request for comment. The company\u2019s listing for the SuperDrive<\/a> is still on Apple\u2019s online store, so you can take a look if you want to reminisce about how it would help you \u201cwatch a DVD movie, install software, create backup discs, and more.\u201d Good times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
