Apple is reportedly introducing the Repair Vintage Apple Products Pilot” program for a number of its products that were previously considered too passe to be repaired at Apple stores and authorized service providers.
Apple repairs its products that are within the five- to seven-year lifespan. This means that owners of Apple products can have the devices repaired through Apple or authorized service providers even when these are no longer under warranty.
After five to seven years,however, Apple products can be classified as vintage or out of date, or depending on local laws and the country where the devices are distributed. Apple staff no longer provide parts or repairs for these passe devices.
According to 9to5Mac,the pilot program will extend the period of time that Apple customers can receive repair for older devices. It is not clear what prompted Apple to launch the program beyond that the company may have a surplus of service parts.
