Apple updates the list of products that have entered vintage and obsolete status. When a product is classified as vintage, it means Apple has stopped selling it for 5 years or more. On the other hand, products that are discontinued will no longer receive hardware support from Apple.
The iPhone 5S has been classified as a discontinued product, while the iPhone 5, released earlier, is still considered a vintage product. The iPhone 5C has already been discontinued.
The iPhone 5S was unveiled in September 2013 with standout features at the time such as Touch ID fingerprint scanner, but it utilized the A7 chip, the first 64-bit chip.
In addition, Apple has also added the iPod touch 6th Gen (2015) and the 21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display (2015) to the list of vintage products.
