Millions of iPhones are about to become ‘vintage’ – is yours doomed?

APPLE recently updated its list of “vintage and obsolete products,” adding the iPhone 6 Plus.

The tech giant ever so often takes it upon itself to update a list of the products it is no longer selling and products that are in danger of being discontinued.

Apple added the iPhone 6 Plus to its “vintage” list today.

“Products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago,” Apple wrote in a post.

In contrast, products are considered ‘obsolete’ when Apple “stopped distributing them for sale more than 7 years ago.”

Earlier today, the Cupertino, California-based company added the iPhone 6 to their “vintage” section.

Under the statement, users can find links to all Apple products the company considers “vintage,” including old Macs, iPods, and iPads.

The ‌iPhone‌ 6 Plus was first launched in September 2014 alongside the ‌iPhone‌ 6.

However, the phone was discontinued just two years later in September 2016, when the ‌iPhone‌ 7 and ‌iPhone‌ 7 Plus were released.

Apple stopped both the ‌iPhone‌ 6 and 6 Plus from getting new software updates back in 2019 after the company released iOS 13.

Interestingly enough, the ‌iPhone‌ 6 is not on the vintage list at the time of publication as it was available for sale for a longer period of time.

The 6 Plus was the first iPhone to boast a full HD display.

The device was also one of the first to feature Wi-Fi calling.
