If you still have a 21.5-inch iMac dating from early 2013, Apple has bad news for you since the device is now considered obsolete and is no longer supported by the brand.
Clearly, this means that Apple no longer carries any hardware repair on the computer in question and no more spare parts dedicated to the model is produced or controlled by Apple.
The US and Turkey will still be able to enjoy repairs for a year or two. Apple follows its logic of support extending from 5 to 7 years after the release of a device. If the abandonment of the computer is considered as a penalty for the holders, it should be noted that there are few manufacturers to offer such extensive support in the world of the PC (even in parallel, the supply and upgrade are simpler on PC).
Everything is not lost on the 21.5-inch iMac, however, since Apple could choose to register the device in its pilot program that extends the duration of support devices become automatically obsolete: this allows some devices to be repaired in the centers of the mark as long as there are stocks of spare parts corresponding to the needs.
