Apple updates its list of products entering Vintage status, including the iPhone X, first-generation HomePod, and first-generation AirPods.
To qualify for Vintage status, Apple specifies that products must have been discontinued for over 5 years but less than 7 years. These products can still be repaired through Apple Store or authorized AASP for approximately 2 more years.
The iPhone X, introduced in 2017, brought key changes such as the removal of the Home button for the first time, along with the new Face ID authentication system, which later became a standard feature for iPhones.
The first-generation AirPods, released in 2016, were wireless earphones with a W1 chip that could connect to various Apple devices. They also featured sensors for detecting touch and motion. The first-generation HomePod, introduced in 2017 and released in 2018, was designed to work seamlessly with Apple Music and AirPlay, boasting impressive sound specifications and the A8 chip.
