Apple already considers the first HomePod "vintage"
Briefly

Apple considers the iPhone X, first-gen AirPods, and first-gen HomePod as 'vintage,' meaning they were stopped distributing between more than five and less than seven years ago.
Apple provides service for vintage products like the original HomePod, but the company seems to be moving the original HomePod on a faster track despite being discontinued three years ago.
Apple distinguishes between 'vintage' and 'obsolete,' with 'obsolete' products being those the company stopped distributing more than seven years ago, providing no service after that milestone.
