New Vintage and Obsolete Products Announced by Apple
On Friday, Apple updated its list of products that are now considered vintage or obsolete, making several notable additions. Among them, the 2013 Mac Pro has been labeled as vintage after being available for nearly 12 years. This model was exceptionally long-lasting, remaining on the market until the release of the current design in 2019. As a result, Apple has stopped manufacturing the spare parts required for repairing this model. While repairs can still be carried out, they are only possible using existing stock of components, with a complete phase-out expected within the next two years.

Additional Products Joining the Vintage Category
This week, Apple has also designated several other products as vintage. These include the 13-inch MacBook Air and the iMac from 2019, the 11-inch iPad Pro and the third generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro from 2018, and the 128GB iPhone 8. Notably, the iPhone 8 models with 64GB and 256GB had already been categorized as vintage two months prior.
Products Reaching Obsolescence
Moreover, several Apple products have moved from vintage to obsolete status. These include the second-generation AirPort Express, the 2TB and 3TB Time Capsules, and the AirPort Extreme 802.11ac model. Once a product reaches obsolescence, Apple and its authorized service providers will no longer offer repair services or replacement parts, due to the discontinuation of production and shortage of existing supplies.
