has gloss | eng: Currently Apple classifies discontinued products in three categories: Vintage, Obsolete or Legacy, based on the level of support they continue to provide. Apple's current hardware support policy provides for service and repair of products for up to 5 years following their discontinuation, except only in California, USA (as required by statute), where products are guaranteed service for up to 7 years after being discontinued. Products which fall into this additional two year window are referred to as Vintage. Products which have been discontinued for more than 7 years are considered Obsolete and no service of any kind is offered, nor parts obtainable from Apple. |
