For the uninitiated, devices put under Apple's vintage and obsolete list are those that have not been manufactured for more than 5 and less than 7 years.
This means anybody using the old vintage Apple products will not be able to be get them repaired and even if you are tech savvy enough to fix the devices by yourself, still be not be able to find spare components, as company stops production of device's integrants.
The good news is that the cease of service support for iPhone 4 and MacBook Air is limited to Japanese market for now. That said, Apple is expected to add these two devices in all regions soon.
