Apple has added the first-generation Apple TV 4K to its vintage products list. The device debuted in 2017.
Vintage and obsolete classifications
Apple defines a product as vintage when more than five years have passed since it stopped being sold. The company can generally still service vintage products, but repairs depend on the availability of parts.
A product becomes obsolete after more than seven years since sales ended. Apple no longer provides service or hardware repairs for obsolete products.
The first Apple TV 4K has not reached that status, but repair availability may become more limited. Apple is expected to unveil a new Apple TV 4K next Tuesday at its “Welcome home” event.
