The 12-inch MacBook is now a vintage Apple product.
The laptop was the peak of minimalism for Apple in a laptop.
Earlier today, Apple quietly added the 12-inch MacBook, which was originally released in 2015, to its list of vintage products. As a vintage product, owners of the older MacBook are still eligible to have the laptop serviced at both Apple and the company s wide range of third-party repair shops.
Owners of iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, or Apple TV products may obtain service and parts from Apple service providers, including Apple Retail Stores and Independent Repair Providers, for a minimum of 5 years from when Apple last distributed the product for sale.
The complaint, lodged in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas, claims that Apple products like iPhones and iPads infringe on specific claims in 13 different patents owned by non-practicing entity Smart Mobile, LLC.
