iPhone XS Max officially classified as a 'classic' product by Apple

On the official website, Apple has just updated the list of classic and outdated products by adding names such as iPhone XS Max, iPhone 6s Plus along with some Apple Watch models and many other products.

Accordingly, in the latest update, the iPhone XS Max and iPhone 6s Plus duo have been classified as "classic" products. The iPhone 6s Plus was launched in 2015, while the XS Max was not released until 2018.

Vintage and obsolete devices both have special meaning to users. If a product is on the vintage list, it means that it can still be repaired by Apple, depending on the availability of replacement parts.

In contrast, Apple will stop all hardware services for products on the obsolete list, except for battery repairs for Macs. The latest product to be listed in this category is the Apple Watch Series 2.

Apple currently maintains a public database of what it considers “vintage” and “obsolete” products, both of which refer to the date a product is officially discontinued.

Products are considered “classic” when “Apple” stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 years ago. If after 7 years they stop being sold officially, they will be listed as “obsolete” products.
