What is known
We are talking about an original MacBook laptop with a 12-inch diagonal screen. He should be added to the list at the end of the month - June 30th.
Recall that Apple classifies the product astechnologically obsolete if more than 7 years have passed since its sales ceased. These devices cannot be repaired or serviced at Apple Stores or Apple Authorized Service Centers as replacement parts are no longer available.
The 12-inch MacBook was introduced in 2015.Its specs included a 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor, integrated Intel graphics, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB solid-state drive. It was also the first MacBook model to feature the infamous butterfly keyboard, whose keys failed over time due to debris and dust collecting inside. After years of complaints and lawsuits, Apple stopped using this keyboard in its laptops.
Just a year after the official announcement,In 2016, after the release of the second generation model with improved characteristics, the 12-inch MacBook was discontinued. Since 2017, Apple has not released a MacBook with a 12-inch display.
