Apple has listed the iPhone 5c as “vintage,” limiting the support offered.

The company regularly adds older products to its vintage and obsolete product listings page, and in the process limits technical support that can be offered.

When a product moves into vintage status, Apple limits the availability of support available to consumers, including in-store tech help.

Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Apple TV vintage products continue to receive hardware service from Apple service providers, including Apple Retail Stores, subject to availability of inventory, or as required by law,” Apple says on its website, outlining the services offered.

Apple first released the iPhone 5c in September 2013, serving as a low-cost alternative to the iPhone 5.

Following other Apple products, the iPhone 5c will be made obsolete in 2022, meaning that the company will no longer offer any support.

Users who want to hold onto their iPhone 5c should keep it in good condition and only use Apple Authorized partners for repairs. »
