Overview
- Apple added the 13-inch Retina MacBook Air (2020) to its vintage catalog alongside the iPhone 11 Pro, 128GB iPhone 8 Plus, cellular iPad Air 3, and Apple Watch Series 5.
- Vintage status applies to products last sold five to seven years ago, with service offered only where parts remain available.
- Apple typically deems products obsolete after seven years, at which point official repairs through Apple Stores and authorized providers end.
- The 2020 model was the final Air with an Intel processor, launched in March 2020 and replaced later that year by the first M1-based Air.
- With this change, the list of repairable Intel Macs narrows to select 2019–2020 MacBook Pro and iMac models, while the 2019 Intel Mac Pro is not expected to reach vintage for roughly two and a half years.
