Title: Apple Says All Mac Minis With Intel Are Now Vintage

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/04/15/201...

Apple has officially designated all Intel-based Mac minis as "vintage" or
"obsolete," marking the end of an era. This means Apple no longer guarantees
parts or service for these devices, as they've surpassed the 5- to 7-year
support window. 9to5Mac reports: Apple periodically adds devices to its ever-
growing list of vintage and obsolete products. That happened today, as
spotted by MacRumors, with two noteworthy "vintage" additions: iPhone 6s and
Mac mini (2018). The latter product is especially significant, because the
2018 Mac mini was the last remaining Intel model that was not yet labeled
either vintage or obsolete. So what are those timelines exactly? Per Apple's
definitions: Vintage: "Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5
and less than 7 years ago." Obsolete: "Apple stopped distributing them for
sale more than 7 years ago." [...] Since these products are now considered
vintage, Apple no longer guarantees that parts for repairs will be readily
available.
