The following Macs will be classified as either vintage or obsolete in the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region:
The aforementioned Macs will no longer be eligible for hardware service or new parts from Apple or Apple Authorized Service Providers, except in Turkey and California, where Apple will continue to provide repairs and documentation for up to two years, or December 31, 2018 in this case, as required by local statutes.
Vintage products are those that have not been manufactured by Apple for between five and seven years. Obsolete products are those that were discontinued by Apple more than seven years ago. Apple and Authorized Service Providers make no distinction between obsolete and vintage products outside of Turkey and California.
Mine says 13” mid 2010 so it’s in the middle of those being obsoleted/vintaged. Can I assume it’s already been done ??
This is a Mac Pro (Late 2013) Desk Top 12 core top of the line using Geekbench 4.0.1 suite in 64 bit, multicore score. A lot of those older tests were only 32 bit. The source is the same, different page. It's not a notebook.
Apparently not yet. They obsoleted the 15" & 17" of that vintage but I can find no record showing the mid-2010 13" has been obsoleted. Strange.
Thanks. It works fine; other than having to replace the battery pack once, not a single problem.
You will be happy with the newer upgrades. I have a newer Mac Air and a pal of mine has an old MacBook Pro that is very slow compared to my Air — he could not get over the difference in performance, especially in read-write tasks.
