Apple has officially designated the iPhone X, original HomePod, and first-generation AirPods as \u201cvintage\u201d products, joining the ranks of classic devices like the iPhone 4 and first-generation iPhone SE. Here\u2019s a breakdown of what this means for these iconic Apple products:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Vintage status: Products are considered vintage when Apple stops selling them for more than 5 and less than 7 years.
\n\u2013 iPhone X: Launched in November 2017 to celebrate the iPhone\u2019s 10th anniversary, the iPhone X was a game-changer with its removal of the physical Home button. It will not receive iOS 18 updates.
\n\u2013 HomePod: The first-generation HomePod debuted in February 2018 as Apple\u2019s smart speaker and digital assistant. It was later succeeded by the HomePod mini and second-generation HomePod in January 2023.
\n\u2013 AirPods: The original AirPods were released in December 2016, paving the way for wireless earbuds dominance. With two refreshes since then and rumors of new models with cameras coming soon.<\/p>\n
Once a device is classified as vintage, repairs are only available for up to two more years. Subsequently, it becomes \u201cobsolete,\u201d with repair services discontinued altogether.<\/p>\n
