Apple today added the 2019 iMac 4K to its list of vintage products, meaning repairs can only be made if Apple has the necessary parts.
Products are added to the vintage list five years after they were last listed for sale, and they are moved to the obsolete list after seven years. Vintage products may be repaired at Apple Stores and by Apple Authorized Service Providers if parts are available, but this is not guaranteed. Outdated devices cannot be repaired, and Apple no longer manufactures repair components.
The 2019 iMac preceded the colorful and redesigned M1 iMac released in 2021. The machine featured a 21.5-inch Retina 4K display and the standard silver iMac design. The base model was equipped with an Intel Core i3 processor, 8 GB of RAM and a 1 TB hard drive. Pricing in 2019 started at $1,299.
The 2019 27-inch iMac sold alongside the 21.5-inch model was added to the vintage list in July 2025, but Apple sold the smaller model for longer, so it was not previously classified as vintage.
