iPhones are closed in these two categories
The American smartphone maker usually categorizes its smartphones into two categories. This includes one vintage and the other obsolete. When the sale of a product is stopped by Apple, it is declared as vintage. Apple usually declares products that are 5 and 7 years old as vintage. Same when 7 years pass after the sale of Apple product is closed, then that product is declared as obsolete. Hardware for vintage products are available for service. But the hardware of the Obslite Apple product is barely available.
