Apple has withdrawn official hardware support for three older Intel-based MacBooks from 2017 and 2018.
The affected models are the 13-inch 2018 MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, the 13-inch 2018 MacBook Air with a Retina display and the 13-inch 2017 MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Apple considers products introduced more than seven years ago and no longer distributed to have been removed from sale. That classification means the company no longer provides hardware support for them. Battery repairs remain available for up to 10 years from the product’s original sales date.
