Apple marks first Apple TV 4K ‘vintage’ with new model imminent

Apple has added the original 2017 Apple TV 4K model to its "vintage" products list. This designation could complicate repairs for owners of the nearly decade-old device, as repairs may become more difficult once it's officially marked "obsolete." Apple maintains a list of vintage and obsolete products on its website, and those marked "obsolete" receive no service or hardware repairs.

Those labeled "vintage" can still receive service, but this depends on parts availability. Owners of the initial Apple TV 4K should prioritize servicing their device soon or consider the new model set to be unveiled next Tuesday during Apple's 'Welcome home' event.
