Highlights Apple has added the iPhone 11 Pro, Apple Watch Series 5 and the final Intel-powered 13-inch MacBook Air (2020) to its vintage products list. This means these products are over five years old but may still receive limited repairs depending on spare parts availability. Apple moved the special-edition Beats Solo3 Wireless Mickey Mouse headphones (2018) to the obsolete category. Intel-powered 13-inch MacBook Air. (Image credit - Apple) Apple has updated its vintage products list by adding several older devices including the final Intel-powered 13-inch MacBook Air, the Apple Watch Series 5 and the iPhone 11 Pro. The iPhone 11 Pro joins the list a few months after the iPhone 11 Pro Max was classified as vintage in September. The last Intel-based MacBook Air was launched in March 2020. It was available with a 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core i3, a 1.1GHz quad-core Intel Core i5, or a 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, depending on the configuration. The model had a relatively short lifespan, remaining on sale for just eight months before Apple discontinued it in November 2020 following the launch of the M1-powered MacBook Air, which marked the company’s first wave of Apple silicon Macs. According to Apple, a product is considered vintage once more than five years have passed since it was last distributed for sale. While Apple and Apple Authorised Service Providers may still offer repairs for vintage devices, servicing is dependent on the availability of spare parts. Alongside the newly added vintage devices, Apple has also moved the special-edition Beats Solo3 Wireless headphones from the vintage category to the obsolete list. Just to recall, this was released in 2018 to commemorate Mickey Mouse’s 90th anniversary. Apple classifies a product as obsolete after more than seven years have passed since it was last sold. For these devices, hardware service is generally no longer available. However, Mac laptops are an exception, as they may qualify for battery-only repairs for up to 10 years from the date of discontinuation, subject to parts availability. iPhone 11 Pro.
