Earlier this week, Apple updated its list of vintage and obsolete products list. The company has added some older models from its iMacs lineup and even one of its Apple Watch model from a couple of years ago on this list.
Looking at the new list, the Cupertino based giant has officially labeled the iMac models from the year 2013 and 2014 on to the obsolete list. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 2 has been added to the Vintage list. For those unaware, these same iMacs were on the Vintage list before being moved to the Obsolete list. When a device is added to the latter, they are finally no longer eligible for official repairs from the brand. So those that have purchased Macs from the late 2013, which is the 21.5 inch iMacs, the 2014 21.5 inch iMac, and the 2014 27 inch Retina 5K iMac, have to look for unofficial repairs if they face any issues.
The company typically adds products to the obsolete list around 7 years after its first sale and discontinues for obsolete products. On the other hand, the Apple Watch Series 2 are now on the vintage list. This vintage products list features devices that went on sale around 5 years since its launch but less than 7 years from its announcement. These products are still officially serviceable, however, the repairs would still depend upon the availability of the specific parts for your vintage device.
