Apple’s Once-Futuristic iPhone X Is Now ‘Obsolete’
Apple says the move ends hardware repairs for both models, and authorized service providers can no longer order parts through the company.
- Apple has officially moved the iPhone X and 15-inch 2018 MacBook Pro to its obsolete products list, ending official hardware service for both devices.
- Products typically join this list more than seven years after Apple stops distributing them. Once classified as obsolete, Apple discontinues all hardware service and authorized providers cannot order parts.
- The 15-inch MacBook Pro joins the 13-inch version, which Apple moved to the obsolete list in 2024. The iPhone X, launched in 2017, introduced the design language defining Apple's lineup for years.
- Owners should note their hardware will continue to function normally. There is no urgent reason to replace these devices simply because support status changed; the update primarily affects future repair options.
- Apple notes that service may sometimes be extended for up to 10 years depending on parts availability, though this is not guaranteed for devices running Sequoia. A worn battery or damaged component could become significantly harder to repair.
