Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has declared the 2017 MacBook Pro a 'vintage product', meaning it will no longer receive macOS updates. This comes ahead of the September 12 event and the expected launch of M3-powered MacBooks later this year. The 2017 MacBook Pro uses the ‘Butterfly' keyboard, which has had numerous reports of malfunctioning. Now that the product is 'vintage', Apple's authorized service centers may not have the spare parts available to service it.
