Apple stops supporting iMacs from 2013-2015
From time to time Apple stops providing spare parts for older products. Generally the company offers to provide spare parts for Macs up until they are around seven years old, but beyond that the company no longer supports them, partly due to running out of stock and partly because the latest supported operating systems will not run on the device so Apple can no longer assure it’s safety.
Now is the time for a number of iMacs to join Apple’s Obsolete list:
- iMac (21.5 inches, end of 2013)
- iMac (27 inches, late 2013)
- iMac (21.5 inches, mid-2014)
- iMac (Retina 5K, 27 inches, late 2014)
- iMac (Retina 5K, 27 inches, mid-2015)
Until recently these Macs were in Apple’s Vintage list, which meant that Apple might be able to provide parts, but there were no guarantees.
A list of other products that are no longer officially supported can be found on Apple’s support pages, plus we have more information in our article: How long do Macs last?
