A new page is turning: the iPhone SE Original joins the list of vintage products.
Apple has officially added the original iPhone SE to its list of vintage and obsolete products. Launched in March 2016, the first iteration of the iPhone SE has aged gracefully for over seven years. This iconic iPhone marked a significant milestone in the evolution of Apple’s smartphone legacy.
The “vintage” designation follows the five-year rule. This includes all products whose date of first marketing is more than five years old. Although vintage devices are not guaranteed for repairs through official Apple channels, the Apple brand is committed to providing repairs if the necessary parts are still available. But be careful, without certainty!
What are the consequences ?
Adding the original iPhone SE to the list of vintage and obsolete products has significant implications. While this designation does not immediately hinder repairability, it is crucial to note that vintage products no longer benefit from Apple’s direct hardware repair warranty.
Users are therefore advised to take these changes in Apple’s maintenance policy into account when planning the usage life and repair management of their devices. And for those who want to wait for the new version of the iPhone SE, you will have to wait a few more months. The first rumors indicate an announcement sometime in March 2024.
