Apple Moves 2017 MacBook Air to Vintage, iPad Mini 4 and Apple TV HD to Obsolete

The reclassification determines whether Apple will still repair these devices.

Overview

  • Apple updated its product status lists on Tuesday, shifting the 13-inch MacBook Air (2017) to vintage and placing the iPad mini 4 and Apple TV HD 32GB on the obsolete list.
  • Vintage status means Apple may still repair a device only if replacement parts remain available.
  • Obsolete status ends Apple repairs and parts supply, pushing owners to third‑party shops or used parts from the secondary market.
  • Only the 32GB configuration of the Apple TV HD is included in this obsolete change.
  • Some reports listed different models, but Apple’s support page shows the MacBook Air (2017) as vintage and the iPad mini 4 and Apple TV HD 32GB as obsolete.
