Apple adds three more units to its list of Vintage iPhones and what this might mean to you
If you own an iPhone 7 Plus or an iPhone 8 with 64GB or 256GB of memory, you now have in your possession a handset that Apple calls "Vintage." However, in this context, being given that label by Apple is a dubious achievement for both the device and the device owner. That's because Apple slaps the "Vintage" label on iPhone models that it stopped distributing for sale more than five years ago but less than seven. Once it has been more than seven years since an iPhone was distributed for sale, that model is considered to be "Obsolete." Vintage iPhones can still be repaired by the Apple Store or an authorized repair center as long as the parts necessary to repair the phone are available. This means that if the parts required to repair your vintage iPhone are not available, the repair cannot be made. In such a situation, you might be lucky enough to find an older authorized Apple service center with the needed parts in stock. Vintage iPhone models also do not receive regular software updates although in rare cases they might receive a security update that patches a severe vulnerability. The iPhone 7 Plus has been given the Vintage label by Apple. | Image credit-PhoneArena Obsolete iPhones cannot be serviced by Apple and authorized repair centers. Parts cannot be ordered for these models which also cannot receive any software updates including security updates that patch serious software flaws. The following iPhone models have been classified as Vintage by Apple: Phone 4 (8GB) iPhone 5 iPhone 6s (16GB, 64GB, 128GB) iPhone 6s Plus iPhone SE iPhone 7 Plus iPhone 8 (64GB, 256GB) iPhone 8 (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 Plus (PRODUCT)RED iPhone X iPhone XS Max The following iPhone models have been classified as Obsolete by Apple: iPhone iPhone 3G (China mainland) 8GB iPhone 3G 8GB, 16GB iPhone 3GS (China mainland) 16GB, 32GB iPhone 3GS (8GB) iPhone 3GS 16GB, 32GB iPhone 4 CDMA iPhone 4 CDMA (8GB) iPhone 4 16GB, 32GB iPhone 4 GSM (8GB), Black iPhone 4S iPhone 4S (8GB) iPhone 5C iPhone 5S iPhone 6 iPhone 6 Plus iPhone 6s (32GB) iPhone 6s Plus (32GB) The iPhone 7 Plus was discontinued on September 10, 2019, which was the day that the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max were announced. The 64GB, and 256GB iPhone 8 variants were discontinued on April 15, 2020, when the iPhone SE 2 was introduced. The second-generation iPhone SE model replaced the iPhone 8 in Apple's lineup at the time. Apple added the iPhone 7 Plus and the 64GB, 256GB iPhone 8 to its list of Vintage iPhones on Wednesday, May 21st. You might notice that the 128GB iPhone 8 is not on the Vintage list. That's because Apple kept that model available longer than the other iPhone 8 variants so it is not yet ready to qualify for Vintage status. It should also be noted that the iPhone 8 (PRODUCT)RED models had already been on the Vintage list prior to Apple's latest announcement.

When a device falls into the vintage category it means repairs can become quite difficult.

While these devices are still eligible for repair, it is based on the availability of parts which will soon run out. Apple defines iPhones and other products as vintage when sales were stopped more than five years ago but less than seven years ago. After seven years, they become obsolete resulting in no hardware service at all. The latest additions to the vintage list are the iPhone 7 Plus and the iPhone 8. These were announced way back in September 2016 and September 2017 respectively. The iPhone 8 was notable for being the last flagship iPhone to feature the home button and Touch ID, before it was axed entirely for Face ID on the iPhone X.

Analysis by Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun If you own an affected device you only really have two choices. Fix any issues you're aware of now while parts are still available - but bear in mind that the cost to get this repair may not be worth it compared to the value of your smartphone today. Or, upgrade. Of course, upgrading to a brand new phone is expensive but it may cost you less in the long run compared to repairs, especially as your current phone will be more prone to further breakages and is likely to go completely kaput soon.
