Apple has updated its list of vintage and Foreign Archivesobsolete devices, relegating some of the older iPhone and Apple Watch models to officially "old" status.
The list of vintage iPhone models now includes the iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone XS Max. The smaller iPhone XS and iPhone 6s still count among the active models. But as MacRumors reported, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus with 32GB configurations were previously moved to the obsolete list. As for the Apple Watch, the Apple Watch Series 2 models made from aluminum and stainless steel were moved to the obsolete list.
SEE ALSO: Apple's new iPhone update is locking law enforcement out of phonesVintage and obsolete status refers to whether Apple and Apple-certified repair services can fix devices with expired warrantees and supply parts for those models. A vintage model is when it "stopped distributing them for sale more than five and less than seven years ago," according to Apple.
Those models can be repaired as long as supplies for relevant parts are available. Obsolete models are devices that haven't been distributed for over seven years. Hardware for obsolete products are discontinued and service providers can no longer order parts for them.
Active Apple devices that aren't on the vintage or obsolete lists are still supported by OS updates. However, some new capabilities, like Apple Intelligence, aren't compatible with the older still-active models. The iPhones that support Apple Intelligence are the full iPhone 16 generation and iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
