#obsolete product

Apple has officially designated the 2017 MacBook Pro as a "vintage product," signaling the end of an era for this once cutting-edge device. Apple considers a product "vintage" five years after it has been discontinued for sales, which means that parts for repairs may no longer be available at Apple Stores or Authorized Service Providers (AASP). Five years: Vintage and seven years: Obsolete Apple has another category, rather a second tier, for discontinued products, namely “Obsolete products”. These are products that the company stopped distributing for sale more than seven years ago and are now considered obsolete. On the other hand, "obsolete" means that repairs are completely off the table. While Apple may be quick to label older products as "vintage" or "obsolete," it's worth noting that the MacBook battery is the exception to the rule. It’s not designed to be an all-day unplugged workstation, but it definitely offers enough flexibility for mobile productivity on the go when needed. And so, if you're someone with a workflow that revolves around photo manipulation, post production, designing, and crative work, this is a machine that can keep up with pretty-much no compromise.
