Apple is adding two old iPad models to its vintage list, which basically means the products will soon become obsolete for the company. The new products added to this list are the iPad mini 2 and the iPad Air 2 which came out in 2013 and 2014, respectively. Back then, both these tablets were popular, helping Apple to earn millions, and now, the company is ready to bid adieu to these classic iPad models.
Apple Vintage List: What It Means
The vintage list is a classy way of Apple saying these products will no longer get the hardware support from the company. In fact, you might find it hard to get spare parts for these devices.

Vintage products from Apple might not be serviceable but you can always check at third-party repair stores for different issues and parts. The initiation of a product into oblivion is what Apple calls vintage.
