 "Apple said this iPhone is old, if you have it then it will not be able to be repaired")
Apple has recently announced that it is now including iPhone 6 Plus and iPad mini 4 in the list of old products, which cannot be serviced and repaired.
Your iPhone 6 Plus will no longer be able to be repaired. Apple has recently announced that it is now including iPhone 6 Plus and iPad mini 4 in the list of old products, which cannot be serviced and repaired. Both these devices are quite old, so Apple will not repair them, nor will any other authorized repair center be able to repair them. iPhone 6 Plus was launched in September 2014 along with iPhone 6.
This phone is quite old and after the arrival of iOS 13 in 2019, Apple had stopped supporting it. iPhone 6 Plus was launched in the year 2014, at that time it was the iPhone with the largest screen (5.5 inches).
iPad Mini 4 kept in vintage category
Similarly, iPad mini 4 is also being considered outdated now. It was launched in the year 2015, which has 7.9 inch Retina display and A8 chip. Apple has considered the iPhone 6 Plus as “obsolete” (very old) while the iPad mini 4 has been placed in the category of “classic” (somewhat old). The service of the ” Vintage ” device (iPad Mini 4) can be availed for 2 years now, but it is not certain whether its spare parts will be available or not. But, iPhone 6 Plus was considered “obsolete” in 2022 itself, so its service or repair will not be possible anywhere now.
In addition to the iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Mini 4, Apple has also included the (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in the “classic” list. However, nothing has happened to the other colors of these models (like gold, silver) yet.
