iPhone X joins Apple's obsolete product list

According to a report from GSMArena, Apple has officially designated the iPhone X as an obsolete product. This classification marks the end of official hardware support and replacement part availability for the device, which was originally released as the company's 10th-anniversary flagship model. Alongside the iPhone X, the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro has also been moved to the obsolete list.

Apple’s internal policy typically categorizes products as obsolete once more than seven years have passed since the company stopped distributing them for sale. Once a device reaches this status, Apple and its authorized service providers generally cease all hardware services, and replacement parts are no longer manufactured or stocked. This transition is a standard part of the product lifecycle for aging consumer electronics.

While the iPhone X is now considered obsolete, the company maintains different timelines for certain Mac products, which may remain eligible for battery-only repairs for up to 10 years from the date they were last distributed, depending on parts availability. Users still utilizing these devices are encouraged to consider the implications for security updates and hardware maintenance, as the lack of official service options means that any future repairs will need to be handled by third-party providers using non-official components.
