Guy Harris (talk | contribs) →Ongoing support for PowerPC following transition: "The PowerPC architecture", in the sense of the PowerPC instruction set, is only "obsolete" to the extent that the current instruction set in that family is the Power ISA, which is a descendant of the PowerPC ISA. It's the PowerPC machines from Apple that are obsolete in the Apple support sense. |

Line 112:
Apple has a policy of placing products that have not been sold for more than five years, but less than seven years, as "vintage", meaning hardware services from Apple Stores and service providers are subject to availability of inventory, or as required by law. After a product has not been sold for more than seven years, it is considered "obsolete", meaning it is not eligible for hardware support.<ref name="AppleVintageObsolete">{{cite web |title=Vintage and obsolete products |url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624 |website=[[Apple Inc.]] |access-date=25 June 2020 |archive-date=November 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116063147/https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201624 |url-status=live }}</ref> All PowerPC-based Macs were obsolete by 2013.
