# Apple Lists iPhone X as Obsolete, Ends Official Hardware Repairs 2026-08-15T12:28:09+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Apple has added the iPhone X to its worldwide obsolete products list, Times Now reports. The move ends official hardware repair support for the phone through Apple and its authorised service providers. The iPhone X was launched in 2017 and went off sale in September 2018. The phone will not stop working, and users can continue using it normally. However, repairs for problems involving the display, battery or other internal components may now require independent repair shops. The iPhone X supports iOS 16, its final major software release, and has continued receiving security updates for that version. Apple’s obsolete classification generally applies to products it stopped distributing more than seven years ago. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: Apple, iOS 16, iPhone X Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/apple-lists-iphone-x-as-obsolete-ends-official-hardware-repairs/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
