Apple declares three popular devices OBSOLETE

They were among the hottest gadgets of the 2010s. But Apple has classed three more of its popular products as 'obsolete' - barely a decade after their release. Owners still holding on to these devices will be without support if something goes wrong with them. That's because the tech giant does not provide any hardware services for an obsolete product. All Apple products go through three categories - current, vintage, and obsolete - in the space of their relatively short lifespan.
