Apple has recognised the first iPhone SE as an obsolete product
Apple has added the first iPhone SE smartphone model to its list of vintage and obsolete products.
Details
Apple has several designations for older models. "Vintage" (Vintage) includes devices that were discontinued more than 5 years ago. If 7 or more years have passed since then - the gadget is considered completely obsolete (Obsolete).
The first iPhone SE debuted in March 2016. Its sales were discontinued in September 2018. That is, it has already entered the list of obsolete products, but still with the status of Vintage. This means that the smartphone is no longer available for service support, maintenance and spare parts at service centres. You will only be able to repair it if Apple or Apple authorised service providers have the parts you need left.
Apple has released 3 generations of iPhone SE in total, with the latest model being introduced in March 2022. To date, these are the only smartphones in the manufacturer's range with a Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
Also included in the list of vintage devices are the 2nd generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro and a special version of Mickey Solo3 Wireless headphones. The Powerbeats 2 and Solo2 Wireless headphones are now considered completely obsolete.
