The Apple shop won't fix my old macbook because 2018 machines are classed as "vintage"

Apple has a history of changing what words mean - "revolutionary" and "brave," for a couple more examples.

My 12 year old macbook still works well enough to run dj software

Kinda why I left working for the fruit. I had a 2011 MBP, the recalled ones for GPU failures, and mine failed an astonishingly large amount of times with the *same* failure, along with so many others (frayed and yellowed cord, bulging battery that cracked trackpad, LCD shorted by GPU).

A few years ago I went in, paid $75 for an iPhone battery for a model that (they knew but didn’t mention) would soon be completely phased out (& they wiped my phone/music to do it) so I did not have a phone or music player, I do have a $75 paper weight. I’m still salty about it all.

Which is funny because vintage is something that's usually over 20 years of age

You're expected to buy a new one every 2 years. Keep on that Apple treadmill
