Apple has updated its list of obsolete products, adding nine more Mac models to the list. These older Mac models are now considered too old to be serviced or repaired by Apple or its authorised service providers.
Apple typically classifies products as obsolete after they have been discontinued for five years or more. Once a product is classified as obsolete, Apple no longer provides technical support, spare parts, or repairs for the device.
While these older Mac models may no longer be supported by Apple, users can still find third-party repair services or continue to use the devices as long as they are functional.

Along with the nine Apple Mac models, the tech giant has also added three Mac devices to its vintage list. For those unaware, Apple's vintage product list includes a range of devices that were discontinued between 5 and 7 years ago. These products are still eligible for repairs and parts from Apple or authorised service providers, but may have limited availability.
