A long-discontinued network storage device, Time Capsules gave Mac users a way to back up over a home network using Time Machine. While the hardware hasn’t been available for quite a few years, support continued up to macOS 26.
However, as warned in macOS Sequoia 15, support for the Apple Filing Protocol, AFP, was being deprecated and removed in a future macOS release. That turned out to be macOS 27, thanks to a notice in macOS 26 warning about the end of support for AirPort Disk and other Time Capsule disks.
