Apple has recently added some older iPhone and iPad models to its list of vintage and obsolete products. This includes the iPhone 6 Plus and iPad mini 4, as reported by MacRumors.

Here are some key points to note:

– The iPhone 6 Plus is now classified as “obsolete” globally, meaning Apple no longer provides hardware service for this device.
– Launched in September 2014, the iPhone 6 Plus featured larger screens and Apple Pay support. While the iPhone 6 Plus was discontinued in 2016, the iPhone 6 is still available in some regions, keeping it from obsolescence.
– The fourth-generation iPad mini has been labeled as “vintage,” indicating that it has been more than five years since it was last sold.
– Repair services for vintage products are still accessible for up to two additional years, depending on parts availability.
– Additionally, Apple has included the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in its vintage products list, specifically in the (PRODUCT)RED color variant. Other color options of these models are still available and not considered vintage.

It’s important to keep these updates in mind when considering older Apple devices. Remember that repair services may still be available for vintage products for a limited time. Stay informed about Apple’s product classifications to make informed decisions about your devices.
