Tech Planet October 9th news, it is reported that the memorandum provided by Apple to authorized service providers shows that from November 1 this year, Apple will mark the iPhone 5c as an "outdated product" and terminate all related repairs and services.
Before this, Apple had listed the iPhone 5c as an "antique product" in October 2020, which means that the company and its service providers can only provide certain repairs to this product based on the availability of parts.
This time, the third generation iPad mini (Wi-Fi and TD-LTE versions) are also included in the outdated products together with the iPhone 5c.
iPhone 5c is an iconic product that was released in September 2013 with the iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5c is the first iPhone to offer a range of bright colors, including blue, green, pink, yellow and white, and comes with a case. The phone also marks the first time Apple offers a low-end iPhone to consumers with limited budgets, with the 16GB model starting at just $99 for the two-year contract price in the United States.
It is worth mentioning that just a few days ago, according to MacRumors, Apple updated the list of outdated products and added the iPhone 6 model. More than five years have passed since the last release of the device. iPhone6 was released in September 2014 with iPhone6 Plus. In 2015, after releasing iPhone 6s, Apple sold iPhone 6 as a lower-priced product. In 2016, the device was discontinued with the launch of iPhone 7. The iPhone6 and 6Plus are the first devices to support Apple Pay and marks the first time Apple has launched a iPhone in multiple sizes.
