Quick Summary
The Apple USB SuperDrive that launched back in 2008 is listed as "Sold Out" on Apple US, suggesting it is being quietly discontinued.
For those that do want to use an external CD/DVD player on their Mac however, there are third-party options still available. And the official USB SuperDrive continues to be sold in the UK.
It's the end of an era for the Apple USB SuperDrive. In case you haven't heard of it, it's the CD and DVD player/burner that launched way back in 2008 when Steve Jobs first introduced the MacBook Air from the famous Manilla envelope. The original MacBook Air was the first Mac to be introduced with no CD drive and so the SuperDrive accessory was designed for those that still wanted to play CDs and DVDs through their Mac.
