Apple has added more items to its official list of obsolete products. The new addition is a 12-inch MacBook from 2017, iPad 6th generation and BeatsX wireless headphones.
What does it mean to be classified as obsolete?
Apple marks a device as obsolete when exactly seven years have passed since its official distribution and sale ceased. Pro current owner, this means primarily a definitiveonec common hardware support. Apple Story and Authorized Service Providers (AASPs) are instructed to cease all service from this point on, as spare parts can no longer be ordered for the product.
However, there is one exception here. Apple states that the owners MacBooků may still be entitled to a battery replacement for up to 10 years from the end of sale. However, this option is subject to the service center still having the replacement battery in stock.

The successor of the smallest MacBookout of sight
Definitive toonec 12-inch MacBookus Intel processors occurred back in 2019, when it was completely withdrawn from the offer. Since then Apple has not introduced any similarly small notebook. Customers are still waiting in vain for a machine with a diagonal of less than 13 inches, which would be powered by modern and efficient chips from the family Apple Silicon. I have to say that the 12-inch MacBook I really liked it at the time and I really wanted it. Unfortunately, compact laptops are not very popular anymore. Did you have any of the "newly obsolete" products?
