Apple has updated the list of products it considers “vintage” or “obsolete” and will no longer provide service, parts or documentation for as of next month.
The Cupertino crew defines “vintage” as products discontinued over five but less than seven years ago. (One notable exception: California residents can still get service and parts from Apple Service Providers in the state).
Obsolete products are any product discontinued over seven years ago, no exceptions.
Hit the jump for the complete list of the walking dead, updated from the last list published in February.
• iBook G4 (2004)
• iBook G4 (14″ 2004)
• eMac (USB 2.0)

If you’ve still got something on there that needs parts or repairs, check out Apple’s
indie service provider list.
I just (semi-unwillingly) parted with one of those iBook G4s, bought in 2005, which seems too recent to merit the same word as a 1950s handbag.
Have you got anything on the list?
