Apple just added a few more devices to its classic and obsolete list, including a series of iPhones.
Specifically, Apple released the iPhone 6 Plus in 2014 and the iPad Mini 4 was launched in 2015. Now, the company has marked them as outdated and classic. The list of classic products also includes the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, which were launched in 2017.
If you visit Apple's website, you will see that the labels and categories of both of these devices have changed, but the good thing is that despite their outdated status, Apple still respects these devices instead of completely forgetting them. they.
For those who don't understand why Apple uses these terms, it's because when Apple marks a device as obsolete, it means that device will no longer receive any repair or service-related services. related to hardware as well, such as repairs from Apple or an authorized service provider from the company. With vintage equipment occurring with equipment released five years after it was last marketed, repairs are still performed, as long as the components requiring repair are in available condition.
With this policy, the iPhone 6 Plus was put on the obsolete list, while the iPad mini 4 and iPhone 8/8 Plus were put on the classic list.
This may sound sad to many Apple users but in reality, very few users are currently using iPhone 6 Plus or iPad mini-4. That is why it is important for Apple to mark these devices as outdated and ancient. dictionary is completely reasonable.
One thing to note is that, if Apple marks a device as obsolete, it does not mean that they cannot find parts for these devices, as third-party repair providers still can supply these old parts. However, experts warn that it is time for users to give up that device.
Besides, although the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus are also included in the classic list, that only happens with the red color variant, while the remaining models in the series continue to be in their normal state.
