Apple is set to launch its latest iPhone 17 series in global markets on 9 September. While there are still a few days left for the Big Apple event, the company has just added a new iPhone model to the list of vintage products. In addition, Apple has also included three MAC models in its list of obsolete products. Here you need to know about these devices.

First, let’s talk about iPhones. Apple has two iPhone 8 Plus models in its vintage products list – 64GB and 256GB storage options. The company has already stopped selling these models in different areas, but putting them in the “vintage” list means they are now very old, which certainly knows many people. But, Apple has a habit of maintaining a list on its official website for people, to find out what all devices have been kept in obsolete and vintage lists, since it has entered the market.

Apple says that this product considers vintage when it has stopped distributing the device for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago. And the products are considered obsolete when Apple stops distributing them for sale more than 7 years in advance. Speaking about, the 11 -inch MacBook Air, declared in early 2015, has been included in the Apple’s obsolete list.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro with 4 Thunderbolt 3 port and 15-inch MacBook Pro is still on the same list. Both laptops were launched in 2017. Now, Apple does not provide repair service for obsolete products, but the company’s support page says that Mac laptops may be eligible for an extended battery-cavalry repair period, when the product was finally distributed for sale.

In addition, Apple is likely to close some old iphones after the launch of the iPhone 17 series. The company has a track record of doing this every year, especially with the Pro model, because Apple wants its consumer to buy new iPhone Pro models. Therefore, the possibility of iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will soon be closed. While the Apple Store will stop selling these models through official channels, third-party sites such as Flipkart and Amazon will continue to sell them, the remaining stock is likely to be cleaned. It is likely that the iPhone 15 and its plus model will also be closed as they are now 2 years old.
