Some Apple iMacs 2013 and 2014 models are now obsolete

Apple has updated its vintage and obsolete product list to add a few products. Several 2013 and 2014 iMac models have been designated obsolete by the company. They were previously on the vintage list, but now under its new designation, it means these computers are no longer eligible for repair. The obsolete Macs include late 2013 21.5- and 27-inch iMacs, mid-2014 21.5-inch iMac, and late 2014 27-inch Retina 5K iMac. Apple typically renders products obsolete seven years after they were last on sale. All hardware service is discontinued for obsolete products, and service providers can't order parts for these devices.

Apple has also marked the Apple Watch Series 2 as vintage, joining the original Apple Watch on this list. Vintage products are those that Apple has stopped distributing for sale (typically between the fifth and seventh year since they launched). Apple can still service and provide parts for these devices up to the seventh year. But repairs are also subject to parts availability.
