Apple set to launch cheaper AirPort Extreme and 3TB Time Capsule

Apple are going to be releasing a new AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule. Information was leaked by an unnamed source to 9to5Mac.

The new part numbers are :

• MD031LL/A AIRPORT EXTREME 802.11N (5TH GEN)- USA
• MD032LL/A TIME CAPSULE 2TB (4TH GENERATION) USA
• MD033LL/A TIME CAPSULE 3TB (4TH GENERATION) USA

The prices are said to be lower than current deals, although no detailed or confirmed information has yet been documented or released by Apple themselves. There is talk that these new devices will launch this week, perhaps even in the next 24 hours.

KitGuru says: Rumours are that the 1TB Time Capsule will be phased out and replaced with a 2TB model with 3TB also an option, but at higher cost. The signal strength is said to be improved with new software caching algorithms implemented.
