Vintage and Obsolete Products -- Worldwide
The latest update to the Apple V & O list. From the site:

"Apple has discontinued support for certain technologically obsolete and vintage products.

Vintage products are those that were discontinued more than five and less than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued hardware service for Vintage products with the following exception:
Products purchased in the state of California, United States, as required by statute. Owners of these products may obtain service and parts from Apple Service Providers within the state of California, United States.

Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than seven years ago. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products with no exceptions. Service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products.

The Canadian, European and Asia-Pacific operating regions follow the U.S. product list, but make no distinction between vintage and obsolete. When applied to these regions, all products on the list are considered obsolete."
