Apple’s Airport Extreme Base Station’s latest updates have been minor updates related to antennas. The Express received a new form factor that looks more like a white Apple TV puck as well as antenna updates. There is an easy way to let it work like the older version however.

We expect to see Apple go to the new, faster 802.11ac standard in 2013 and subsequently see Airport Base Stations with the new, faster standard.

We expect Apple to update the Airports to 802.11AC in 2013. If you can wait and desire that functionality hold off. Otherwise, Airports are relatively small investments that last for years.
