APPLE recently updated its list of “vintage and obsolete products”, adding the iPhone 6 Plus.
Tech giants often value update list products are no longer for sale and products are at risk of being discontinued.
“Products were considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago,” Apple wrote in a post.
In contrast, products are considered “obsolete” when Apple “stopped distributing them for sale more than 7 years ago”.
Earlier today, the Cupertino, California-based company added the iPhone 6 to their “classic” section.
According to the statement, users can find links to all Apple products the company considers “vintage,” including older Macs, iPods, and iPads.
iPhone 6 Plus was first launched in September 2014 alongside the iPhone 6.
However, the phone was discontinued just two years later in September 2016, when the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were released.
