Apple has officially classified the iPhone X as obsolete, ending hardware service and replacement parts access for the device.
Apple has added its 10th anniversary smartphone, the iPhone X, to its obsolete products list nearly nine years after the device was launched.
The company has also classified the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro as obsolete, marking the end of hardware service availability for both products.
Once a device is added to Apple’s obsolete products list, it is no longer eligible for hardware service. Repair centres also cannot order replacement parts for the affected products.
Apple typically classifies products as obsolete more than seven years after the company stops distributing them for sale. However, Mac computers may continue to qualify for battery-only repairs for up to 10 years after their last sale date, provided replacement components remain available.
iPhone X reaches end of hardware support
The iPhone X was unveiled in 2017 as Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone and introduced several major changes to the company’s smartphone lineup, including an edge-to-edge display and Face ID.
The device received its final software update with iOS 16.7.16. It was not eligible for iOS 17, meaning its software support ended before the latest obsolete classification.
The addition to Apple’s obsolete list now means owners of the iPhone X should not expect official hardware repairs or replacement components through Apple’s repair network.
2018 MacBook Pro also becomes obsolete
Alongside the iPhone X, Apple has added the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro to the obsolete products list.
Software support for the laptop ended with macOS 15.7.7. While Mac products can sometimes remain eligible for battery service beyond the seven-year period, such repairs depend on the availability of replacement parts.
The latest classifications highlight the approaching end of official hardware support for several older Apple devices as the company continues to focus its repair infrastructure and software support on newer products.
