Apple will be adding some additional MacBook models to its list of “classic” and “obsolete” machines at the end of April.
Via internal company documents, the company will reportedly add the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air notebooks from mid-2013 and early 2014, as well as the mid-2014 13-inch MacBook Pro, to its list of hardware deemed “obsolete.”
Apple defines “vintage” products as units that have not been produced for more than five years and less than seven years ago. “Obsolete” hardware is defined as any product that has been discontinued for more than 7 years.
Vintage MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models are eligible for repair through Apple’s authorized network, including Apple Stores, as long as parts are available. Prolonged support might available in regions that require such measures by law.
The company discontinues hardware service for obsolete products without exception.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
