Title: Apple Says Final iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle Models Are Now Obsolete Post by: HCK on October 09, 2024, 04:05:02 pm Apple Says Final iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle Models Are Now Obsolete
Apple today added the final iPod nano and iPod shuffle models to its obsolete products list (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102772) worldwide, marking the end of an era. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2020/09/ipod_nano_2015_feature.jpg) Apple introduced new color options (https://www.macrumors.com/2015/07/15/apple-launches-new-ipod-touch-nano-shuffle/) for the seventh-generation iPod nano and fourth-generation iPod shuffle in 2015, and those models are now obsolete in particular. Apple went on to discontinue the iPod nano and iPod shuffle (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/07/27/apple-removes-ipod-nano-ipod-shuffle/) entirely in 2017. Apple considers a device to be "obsolete" once seven years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. Once a device is obsolete, it is no longer eligible for repair at an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, with the only exception being MacBook battery replacements for up to a 10-year period. Apple also added the iPhone 6 to its obsolete products list today. Apple had already classified the larger iPhone 6 Plus as obsolete in April (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/01/apple-says-iphone-6-plus-is-now-obsolete/), but the smaller iPhone 6 had remained available through resellers in select countries for longer, so it only became obsolete now. Last, Apple added the 2017 model of the 12-inch MacBook and the sixth-generation iPad to its vintage products list today. Apple considers a device to be "vintage" once five years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. Apple might offer to repair a vintage product, but only if parts remain available.<div class="linkback">Tag: Vintage and Obsolete Apple Products (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/vintage-and-obsolete/)</div> This article, "Apple Says Final iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle Models Are Now Obsolete (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/08/obsolete-ipods/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-says-final-ipod-nano-and-ipod-shuffle-models-are-now-obsolete.2439535/) in our forums Source: Apple Says Final iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle Models Are Now Obsolete (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/10/08/obsolete-ipods/) |
