The last MacBook Pro model with a CD drive will be added to Apple's vintage product list by the end of the month (January 31). According to an internal memo obtained by MacRumors, Apple wants to label the mid-2021 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop as a vintage device. These kinds of products used to be ineligible for repairs in most regions. But now, Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers can offer repairs for vintage products up to seven years. That's subject to parts availability, of course.

This 13-inch MacBook Pro model was the last Mac to launch with a built-in CD/DVD drive, and it remained on sale until October 2016. Apple also dropped support for this model with macOS Big Sur in 2020.
