All the Apple products that are now obsolete meaning owners are no longer eligible for support

You're likely still holding onto a few...

Hundreds of Apple products are deemed obsolete, meaning you can no longer get support or repairs on them.

Considering the first ever Apple product sold was in 1976, this is not exactly a surprise.

That very item was the Apple I (Apple-1) computer, released in July 1976 and sold for $666.

Designed by Steve Wozniak and marketed by Steve Jobs, it was sold as a bare circuit board and was one of the first major steps of Apple becoming one of the world's largest technology companies.

Fast forward to 2026, and the firm has been responsible for some of the most iconic tech products, from the iPhone to the Apple Macbook and even the iPod - how nostalgic!

A few weeks ago, Apple unveiled its latest iPhone 17e model, featuring double the base storage at 256GB, an upgraded A19 processor and MagSafe compatibility.

And if you're still holding onto your original iPhone SE, then I'm afraid it's bad news...

Back in December, that model joined the long list of items on the dreaded Apple obsolete list.

Apple might have built a reputation for sleek design and long product lifespans, with many customers holding onto their devices for years beyond their original release, but they don't last forever.

From students clinging to old MacBooks to families passing down iPads, Apple products often remain in use long after newer models arrive.

However, as technology advances and components become harder to source, even the most beloved gadgets eventually reach the end of their official support window.

According to the company, a product is obsolete when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than seven years ago, except for Monster-branded Beats products, which are considered obsolete regardless of when they were purchased.

"Apple discontinues all hardware service for obsolete products, and service providers cannot order parts for obsolete products," Apple explains.

"Mac laptops may be eligible for an extended battery-only repair period for up to 10 years from when the product was last distributed for sale, subject to parts availability."

The iPhone SE wasn't alone; 2nd-gen iPad Pros, the Nike and Hermès editions of the Apple Watch Series 4 and the Beats Pill 2.0. also joined the obsolete list in December.

You could be holding onto many obsolete pieces of Apple technology, maybe without even knowing.

You might also still own 'vintage' Apple products, which are items Apple stopped distributing for sale more than five and less than seven years ago.

Here are all the Apple products that are considered obsolete.
