Apple Says Three More Products Are Now 'Vintage' or 'Obsolete'
Key Points:
- Apple has designated the MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) as a "vintage" product, meaning repairs are only available if parts remain at Apple Stores and Authorized Service Providers.
- The 2017 MacBook Air was the last model before Apple introduced the Retina display redesign in 2018.
- All iPad mini 4 and Apple TV HD (32GB) models have been added to Apple's "obsolete" products list, making them ineligible for any service or repairs.
- The iPad mini 4 was launched in 2015 and discontinued in 2019, while the Apple TV HD 32GB was released in 2015 and discontinued in October 2022.
- Apple classifies devices as "vintage" if discontinued over five years ago and "obsolete" if discontinued over seven years ago.
