End of an Era: Australia’s Longest-Running Tech Magazine to Close
Published
A significant chapter in Australian media history is coming to an end. APC, the country’s longest-running technology magazine, has announced that it will cease its print publication after 46 years in the industry.
This decision follows the announcement that the global publisher Future is closing its local print operations in Australia. For nearly five decades, APC served as a primary source of information for technology enthusiasts, offering reviews, hardware advice, and deep dives into the rapidly changing world of computing.
The closure highlights the ongoing shift in the media landscape, as many readers move away from physical magazines toward digital platforms. While the print edition of APC will no longer be available on newsstands, the move reflects a broader trend of international publishers consolidating their operations and focusing on digital-first strategies.
For many Australians, APC was a staple of the tech community, documenting the evolution of home computers and the internet since the late 1970s. The loss of the magazine marks the end of a long-standing tradition for many loyal readers and collectors across the country.
