Apple has quietly designated nine Mac models as obsolete and three MacBooks as vintage. These changes were initially spotted by MacRumors on the tech giant's support website.

Apple recently adjusted its product support categories, which is impacting a range of MacBook and iMac models. The tech giant added three Mac models to its "vintage" list and shifted nine others to the "obsolete" category.

Apple has recently updated its list of obsolete products, designating nine Mac models as too old for servicing or repairs. This marks a significant moment for these devices, all of which have been out of production for over five years.

Apple defines a device as vintage if it has been over five years since its last sale. Owners of vintage Macs may still access repairs at Apple Stores and authorised service providers, but this depends on the availability of replacement parts. As time goes on, securing these parts may become challenging.

In the wake of last week’s iPhone 16 lineup release, Apple has officially discontinued the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13. While interested customers may still be able to find both iPhones at an Apple Store or at third-party retail stores, they’ll need to hurry.

Did your Mac just go obsolete? Apple just declared that 9 MacBooks and iMacs can no longer be repaired at all.

Apple just labeled nine of its Macs as obsolete and three as vintage. If you have one of these Macs, it's still perfectly fine to use.
