Are you still holding on to your iPhone X? It’s understandable – back in 2017, it was the most exciting iPhone release following a series of similar models. But now, seven years later, Apple has added the iPhone X to its “vintage list.”
What does this mean? Well, products are considered vintage when they were discontinued for sale more than 5 but less than 7 years ago. On the other hand, products are deemed obsolete when they were discontinued for sale over 7 years ago.
Here’s a look at the vintage iPhone list with the new addition:
– iPhone 4 (8GB)
– iPhone 5
– iPhone 6
– iPhone SE
– iPhone 8 Red
– iPhone 8 Plus Red
– iPhone X
And here’s the list of obsolete iPhones:
– iPhone
– iPhone 3G (China mainland) 8GB
– iPhone 3G 8GB, 16GB
– And many more
While it’s impressive to see people still using older iPhones like the iPhone 8 Plus in 2024, technology has advanced significantly since then. Modern phones come with all kinds of features and improvements that make upgrading worth considering.
If you’re holding onto your iPhone X for sentimental reasons or due to budget constraints, that’s understandable. But with how far technology has progressed, it might be time to explore newer options.
And if you’re excited about Samsung and Google offering seven-year support for their devices, just remember that using an old model like the iPhone X in 2024 might not be as thrilling as it sounds. Keep this in mind when considering your next smartphone upgrade.
