Ah TIL. The "obselescence" notion seems to apply somewhat cleanly to their previous deprecation waves. But it still doesn't seem to explain this deprecation list though? For Apple's "obsolete" counter of seven years to run out for the 2014 iMac this year, they would have to have stopped selling it immediately after launch, but I'm assuming they sold it well into 2015 until their refresh a year later. One could have dropped three grand on a high end iMac in mid 2015, only for it to stop getting major updates just six years later (and updates of any sort in eight). The 2015 Macbook won't even get into their obsolescence window until next year at the earliest.
