The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that the iPhone X is now useless would be wrong. Its hardware support has ended, but the phone can still function and receive some security protection. The opposite claim, that software updates make it fully supported, is also misleading. Owners should check local repair options and battery costs before replacing a working device. The practical test is simple: how long will independent shops reliably provide parts and repairs?
