Apple has updated its obsolete products list with a number of popular devices. While these have been off the market for over 7 years, they were polar when first released and,, I suspect, there are still a few of them in use.
The five products added to Apple’s obsolete products list are:
- iPhone SE (first generation)
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (second generation)
- Apple Watch Series 4 Hermes models
- Apple Watch Series 4 Nike models
- Beats Pill 2.0
Interestingly, the Apple Series 4 is still listed as vintage and not obsolete. That’s because the non Hermes and Nike versions were withdrawn from sale before the regular Apple Watch Series 4.
Apple says:
Products are considered obsolete when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 7 years ago. Monster-branded Beats products are considered obsolete regardless of when they were purchased.
If you have an older Apple device in use, it’s worth checking the vintage and obsolete products lists. Apple says a product is considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing it for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago.
