Apple's Last Intel 21.5-Inch iMac is Now Vintage
Products are added to the vintage list five years after they were last distributed for sale, and they're moved to the obsolete list at the seven-year mark. Vintage products can be repaired at Apple Stores and by Apple Authorized Service Providers if the parts are available, but that's not guaranteed. Devices that are obsolete are not eligible for repair and Apple no longer makes repair components.
The 2019 iMac preceded the colorful, redesigned M1 βiMacβ that came out in 2021. The machine featured a 21.5-inch Retina 4K display and the standard silver βiMacβ design. The base model was equipped with an Intel Core i3 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 1TB hard drive. Pricing in 2019 started at $1,299.
The 2019 27-inch βiMacβ that was sold alongside the 21.5-inch model was added to the vintage list in July 2025, but Apple sold the smaller model for a longer so it didn't previously qualify as vintage.

Intel-backed Altera files for IPO
Intel-backed Altera confidentially filed for a listing in the US, adding to a frenzy of IPO-related activity in the technology sector in 2026.
In a short statement, the company disclosed it had submitted the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The number of shares and the price range for the listing was not revealed. Reuters reported last week the firm was preparing the move, with plans to raise more than $2 billion.
Altera makes programmable chips used in data centres, telecoms networks, AI applications and for aerospace and defence systems.
Intel offloaded a 51% majority stake in the business to private equity company Silver Lake last year, a deal that gave Altera a valuation of around $8.8 billion.
As part of the sale, Intel remained on board as a strategic partner and retained the remaining 49%. It acquired the company in 2015 for $17 billion.
Bloomberg reported US IPO activity has soared on the back of large AI investment.
SpaceX set the pace with a record-breaking IPO that raised $75 billion, while SK Hynix raised $29 billion in what was the largest-ever US listing by a foreign company.
There is also more tipped to come, with AI rivals OpenAI and Anthropic in line for market debuts in the next year.
