Apple Says iPhone X is Now Obsolete

Apple has announced that the iPhone X and the 2018 model of the 15-inch MacBook Pro have been added to its list of obsolete products. The iPhone X was the first iPhone to feature an OLED display and Face ID, replacing the Touch ID home button with a more edge-to-edge screen and a notch for the front camera and Face ID sensors. With a premium design and a glass back, the device was encased in a stainless steel frame.

Apple considered the iPhone X obsolete when it stopped distributing the product seven years after its release in November 2017. The final major software version compatible with the iPhone X was iOS 16, released in 2022. Following the iPhone X's discontinuation in September 2018, it was still available at select resellers for a longer period.

Once a product is deemed obsolete, it is no longer eligible for repairs or other hardware services at Apple Stores or Apple Authorized Service Providers.
