Your Intel MacBook Air is officially trash now, according to the mothership. Apple added the 2020 13-inch MacBook Air to the vintage pile recently. This specific laptop marked the final time an Intel processor sat inside that thin chassis before the M-series takeover. The designation hits products five years after distribution stops. Repairs currently depend entirely on whether parts exist at specific service locations.
Obsolete status kicks in after seven years and kills all hardware support permanently. That vintage tag basically screams at consumers to buy fresh hardware since fixes are no longer guaranteed.
The corporation also purged eight other devices back in December 2025. The original iPhone SE joined the graveyard alongside the second-generation iPad Pro 12.9-inch. Series 4 Apple Watches and the Beats Pill 2.0 also got the axe. Expect third-party silicon to fade completely from the ecosystem soon.
