* Although Apple defines vintage as models discontinued over five years ago but less than seven years ago (at which point Apple calls them obsolete), we prefer aĭefinition that has more to do with a lack of functionality and the end of active support by Apple than with how long Apple makes service parts available.ĭictionary definitions of the word vintage start out with wine, but it is also applied to a group of items that shareĬertain characteristics, originated in a specific time period, and/or iPad, iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV news is covered in iNews Review.
