De 12-inch MacBook Pro, die in 2015 appeared on the market, has been quietly added to the list of vintage products. That can be seen on the official support website from Apple.
A product must not be sold by Apple for five years or more to appear on the list. When a product is no longer sold for more than seven years, it appears in the list of Obsolete products.
12-inch MacBook from now on a vintage product
The 12-inch MacBook appeared in 2015 and was a feast for the eyes in terms of design. Apple used a more compact design than with the MacBook Air, but nevertheless managed to provide the laptop with a Retina display. Incidentally, the laptop was also the first Mac that only had USB-C connections and thus distanced itself from things like the USB-A and HDMI ports. Something that was later adopted by the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro.
Despite the sleek design, the 12-inch MacBook was unfortunately not a success. The laptop was released in 2016 and 2017 still updated, but disappeared in 2019 from the assortment. There were rumors of an M1 variant of the laptop, but it has not yet appeared.

Difficult to repair
Because the 12-inch MacBook has become a vintage product, it becomes more difficult to have the laptop repaired.
You can still contact Apple and authorized resellers, but there is no guarantee that it can be repaired. For example, it is more difficult to get parts for vintage products.
I hope there will be an Mx version of it. Nice and light, easy to carry and more versatile than an iPad (due to MacOS).
