According to it, Apple plans to discontinue two iMacs on January 30th. The 21.5&quot; and 27&quot; iMac models from 2012 are affected. As soon as Apple devices are listed as &quot;obsolete&quot; or &quot;discontinued&quot;, support ends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does this mean for users?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This means that users can no longer get repairs from Apple or authorized service providers. In the event of a problem, they have to resort to independent service providers. Apart from a few exceptions, Apple&#039;s rule of thumb is to produce spare parts for devices for five years - but this period only starts when production of the respective device is discontinued. Only then is the customer forced to look for spare parts elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>repair program for vintage devices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Perhaps Apple will be gracious and include the affected iMac models in its repair program for vintage devices. This is a pilot program with restrictions. If the respective Apple Store or service provider does not have a certain component, the repair cannot be carried out. Currently, the iPhone 4s, iPhone 5, MacBook Air (11 inch and 13 inch, mid-2012), MacBook Pro 15\u2033 (mid-2012) and iMac (21.5 and 27 inch, mid-2011 - USA and Turkey only) are supported by this program. It is expected to last until around 2020.<\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/apfelpatient_official\"><em><strong>Don&#039;t want to miss any more news?
