Apple adds iPhone X and 2018 MacBook Pro to obsolete products list
Apple today updated its vintage and obsolete product lists, with the iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro now classified as obsolete. Here’s what that means.
Apple has recently updated its vintage and obsolete product lists, adding the iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro to the list of devices no longer eligible for service. This move means that for these devices, Apple will discontinue all hardware service and service providers will no longer be able to obtain replacement parts. The company's decision to classify these devices as obsolete is based on a timeline that can range from seven years after a product stops being sold for sale.
For the iPhone X, Apple will only continue to provide support up until the release of iOS 17, at which point the device will no longer receive major OS updates. The 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro, on the other hand, will continue to receive support until macOS Sequoia is available, with the latest version being macOS 15.7.7. Apple's vintage list, meanwhile, includes products that are still eligible for service as long as parts remain available.
Products are considered vintage when they are discontinued from sale more than five but less than seven years prior. For those looking for more information on Apple's full list of vintage and obsolete products, as well as cases where service may be extended for up to ten years, Apple provides a link to their support article.
