Apple updates discontinued list, classic 13-inch MacBook Pro becomes history

According to the latest news, Apple has recently updated its global discontinued product list, including the classic MacBook Pro (13-inch) model released in 2012. This added model has attracted much attention.

Looking back at history, the 13-inch MacBook Pro, which came out in June 2012, was unique in the market at the time with its unique built-in CD/DVD drive design. It is also Apple's last Mac computer with a built-in optical drive, so it has attracted much attention in terms of cost performance. This model continued to be sold until October 2016, and then gradually faded out of the market.

Although Apple has discontinued CD/DVD drives, it still offers an external SuperDrive for those who need this functionality. However, for modern MacBook users, in order to use this external drive, they need to purchase an additional USB-C adapter.

Apple's discontinued product policy stipulates that products that have been discontinued for more than 7 years will be considered discontinued. For such products, Apple will no longer provide any hardware services, and service providers will not be able to order related parts for them. However, for certain Mac notebook computers, the battery repair service period may be extended to a maximum of 10 years from the last date of sale of the product, subject to parts availability.
