The original 2015 Apple Watch is now eligible to enter Apple’s "obsolete" list. Obsolete products refer to products that Apple has stopped supplying for sale for more than 5 years but less than 7 years.


Discontinued products refer to products that Apple has stopped supplying for more than 7 years. For Monster brand Beats products, no matter when they are purchased, they are considered discontinued products.

The acquisition is part of a US$280 million deal between Foxconn and the embattled automaker Lordstown Motors. Two years ago, the company bought the plant from General Motors for only US$20 million and will sell it to Foxconn for US$230 million.


According to the terms of the transaction,Foxconn will also purchase US$50 million worth of Lordstown Motor Company’s common stock and will assemble the automaker’s endurance electric pickup truck. According to a Bloomberg source, Foxconn plans to start mass production of the car in April.


Foxconn said in August that it plans to start building all-electric vehicle plants in the United States and Thailand this year, with the goal of putting it into operation by 2023.


Since the debut of the electric vehicle platform last year, Foxconn has not released any commercial vehicles, but the acquisition of the Ohio plant means that Foxconn will not have to build capacity from scratch, which may help the iPhone maker enter the market After trying to fight for Apple's business.


It is widely reported that Apple is developing its own car and is believed to be exploring the potential of third-party companies to help it launch Apple Car.
