Apple quietly updated its support policy at the end of November 2025, and several once-popular devices passed an unfortunate stage. The tech giant added five products, including some from its iPhone and iPad lineup, to its 'obsolete' list.
For owners of these devices, it is not just a matter of no more software updates; Apple will no longer offer repairs or hardware service. In practice, that could mean a dead battery, a broken screen, or other hardware issues going unresolved by authorised service providers.
