Touch Bar on MacBook Pro

Apple and its vintage products
The company has determined that the equipment called “Vintage” are those that have been distributed after five years of their sale. If Apple continues this line, then remembering the MacBook Pro with Touch Bar that were the first to come out, they stopped being distributed years ago, specifically June 2017.
It wasn’t until a year later, in 2018, that these vintage products came in for official repair by Apple. The services and Apple Store could finally be available for repair, but only up to two years after being considered in the vintage list. Furthermore this situation is only possible if the repair providers have the right parts available.
There is also the list of obsolete products. In this list will enter the iPad mini produced in 2012, also for July 31. It should be noted that the “obsolete” list for Apple is considered after 7 years of the last production for sale of some equipment. Likewise, these devices can no longer enter the category of repair by Apple, unless some extra law allows it.
