Apple moves its old and aging products to its “Vintage and Obsolete” list from time to time. Late last year, we saw a report hinting that the iPhone 6 Plus might soon become a vintage product in Apple’s portfolio. This has now become a reality as the company recently added the 2014 flagship to its “Vintage and Obsolete” list.
Apple recently updated its official Vintage and Obsolete list, adding three new products to the list, including the iPhone 6 Plus. The device, which was released back in 2014 was the first iPhone to come with a big display.
According to the company, “products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago.” Similarly, Apple adds a product to the obsolete list when it stops distributing them for sale for more than 7 years.
Now, vintage and obsolete products won’t get any sort any hardware servicing from Apple. Even service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products for repair or replacement. However, MacBooks are solely exempted from these criteria as users are eligible for an additional battery-only repair period.
