iPhone Update: This iPhone has been added to Apple's vintage list; understand how this will affect you..

Apple's Vintage List has been updated once again, and this time the company has added two iPhones and some other Apple products to the list. Which iPhone models have been added to the list this time, and what does it mean for a phone to be included in this list? In other words, how will this affect you if your phone is also added to the vintage list? Let's explain.

These Products Have Been Added to the Vintage List
This time, the company has added the iPhone 11 Pro, Apple Watch Series 5, iPad Air 3, and the 2020 MacBook Air to the vintage list. This iPhone model was launched for customers in 2019 and is capable of running the company's latest software, iOS 26.  Besides the 11 Pro, the iPhone 8 Plus 128GB model has also been added to the vintage list; other storage variants of this handset were already on the list.

What Does the Vintage List Mean and How Does It Affect You?
According to the company, a product is considered vintage when Apple stopped selling it more than 5 years ago but less than 7 years ago. Now, let's understand how this affects people. Let's say your phone is listed in the vintage category, so what now...?

The company says that if someone has a product that is in the vintage category and that phone or product malfunctions, Apple Stores and authorized service providers can repair the device or product, but only as long as parts are available. This means that if parts are not available, the company will not be able to assist you with the repair of your vintage product.

What Does Apple Obsolete Mean?
The company considers a product obsolete when it has not been produced for more than 7 years. Apple may provide software updates for obsolete products, but hardware support from the company ceases.
