Apple said in the memo that the late 2013 21.5-inch and 27-inch iMacs, the mid-2014 21.5-inch iMac, and the late 2014 Retina 5K 27-inch iMac will be marked as discontinued on November 30, 2022 and that these iMacs will be discontinued. No repairs and services are available.

Moreover, Apple’s official website will list vintage and obsolete products from time to time, where obsolete products refer to products that have been more than 5 years but less than 7 years from the date Apple stopped selling.

The law stipulates that Apple will provide up to seven years of service and parts for obsolete products, but repairs are subject to parts availability.

Devices on the discontinued product list are products that Apple has discontinued for more than seven years, Apple will stop all hardware service for the discontinued product, and service providers will not be able to order parts for the discontinued product.
