Apple has ended official hardware support for three Intel MacBook models from 2017 and 2018, leaving owners to turn to third-party repair options. <\/p>\n

The first is the 13-inch 2017 MacBook Pro<\/a> with two Thunderbolt 3 ports. The most recent compatible OS is macOS Ventura, which was released in 2022. <\/p>\n

Second is Apple’s 2018 Retina MacBook Air. It can only be updated to macOS Sonoma<\/a>, putting it two macOS releases behind at the time of publication. <\/p>\n

Lastly, the 13-inch 2018 MacBook Pro with four Thunderbolt 3 ports has been added to Apple’s obsolete list<\/a>. This device’s newest compatible operating system is macOS Sequoia<\/a>, one OS release behind the current macOS Tahoe<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Apple classifies a device as “vintage” when it stopped distributing the product for sale more than five years ago, but less than seven years ago. After a device hasn’t been sold new for more than seven years, it’s designated as “obsolete.” The company offers service and parts for vintage products for up to seven years, as long as replacement parts are available. <\/p>\n

Users who own any obsolete devices will need to rely on third-party repair shops from now on. Even so, the devices may not be cost-effective to repair in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
