Apple has slapped the iPhone 11 Pro (2019 flagship) onto its vintage products list, signaling the end of easy repairs is near. If you still rock this beast—which got iOS 26 in 2025—check your service options now.
What “Vintage” Really Means
Devices over 5 but under 7 years old land here. Good news: Apple service providers can fix them for at least 2 more years (up to 7 total), parts permitting. But hit 7 years? Obsolete status kills hardware support (Mac batteries get 10 years).
Today’s additions:
- iPhone 11 Pro
- Apple Watch Series 5 (2019)
- 13-inch MacBook Air (Intel, 2020)
- iPad Air 3 Cellular (2019)
- iPhone 8 Plus 128GB (2017)—closing out the iPhone 8 series
Full iPhone Vintage List
- iPhone 4 (8GB), 5, 6s series, 7 series, 8 series, X, XS/XS Max, 11 Pro/Pro Max
Obsolete iPhones (no repairs): Original iPhone to iPhone SE (2016), plus early 6/6s variants.
iPad Hits Too
Vintage: iPad Air Cellular, mini 4, Pro models (10.5/11/12.9-inch up to 3rd gen), more.
Obsolete: Original iPad to iPad Pro 12.9 (2nd gen).
Advice for Indian Owners
With Flipkart/Amazon resales booming, vintage status hikes third-party repair reliance. Local Apple stores (Delhi, Mumbai) still service these, but stock up on parts knowledge. Upgrade nudge? iOS 27 might drop support anyway.
Two years left—service soon or plan your next move (iPhone 18 rumors heating up).
