Vintage product

Vintage products are defined by Apple as "those that have not been sold for more than 5 and less than 7 years ago".

Apple support policy
Apple provides service support and parts for its products for 5 years after discontinuation, which can be covered through an AppleCare warranty option, which can extended on a monthly basis or upfront for up to 24 or 36 months. After 5 years, Apple may continue to supply support and parts at its discretion or in territories (such as France) where required.

After 7 years, such products are declared "obsolete", indicating that mainstream customer support has come to an end. On occasion, Apple may extend exchange and repair programs in response to a known manufacturing defect in a production run of a specific product.
