"Apple products are sorted into three categories: current, vintage and obsolete. Once obsolete, a device is no longer eligible for repairs, battery replacements, or any other service at Apple Stores and Apple Authorised Service Providers worldwide. As Apple explains, an obsolete device has lost support and is no longer eligible for repair at an Apple Store or an authorised third-party service."
"The iPhone SE was first released in March 2016 as a smaller and cheaper alternative to the main iPhone lineup. At the time, its design was hailed as a major step towards offering more compact high-end phones. Fans of this classic device have flocked to social media to share their outrage over the change. One desperately wrote on X: 'Apple please no.' Another chimed in: 'They'll pry my 2016 iPhone SE from my cold, dead hands.'"
The iPhone SE launched in March 2016 as a smaller, cheaper alternative to the main iPhone lineup, using a design based on the iPhone 5S with a four-inch display, Touch ID home button, and aluminium and glass frame. The handset shipped with the A9 chipset, offering significantly improved processing and graphics performance, and launched at £359/$399. Apple discontinued the model in 2018. Apple classifies hardware as vintage five years after discontinuation and obsolete after seven years; the SE has now reached obsolete status, removing eligibility for repairs, battery replacements, parts, and official service.
