In 2015, Apple unveiled new color variations for the seventh-generation iPod nano and the fourth-generation iPod shuffle, which have since been deemed obsolete. The company subsequently ceased production of both the iPod nano and iPod shuffle entirely in 2017.

A device is classified as “obsolete” by Apple after a period of seven years has elapsed since it was last sold by the company.

Once a device reaches this status, it is ineligible for repairs at Apple Stores or by Apple Authorized Service Providers, with the sole exception being MacBook battery replacements, which may be serviced for up to ten years.

Additionally, Apple has included the iPhone 6 in its list of obsolete products. The larger iPhone 6 Plus was designated as obsolete in April, while the smaller iPhone 6 remained available through select resellers in certain countries for a longer duration, leading to its recent classification as obsolete.

Apple has officially included the 2017 model of the 12-inch MacBook and the sixth-generation iPad in its vintage products list as of today.

A device is classified as “vintage” by Apple when five years have elapsed since the company ceased its sale. While Apple may provide repair services for vintage products, this is contingent upon the availability of necessary parts.
