APPLE recently updated its list of “vintage and obsolete products,” adding the iPhone 6 Plus.
The tech giant ever so often takes it upon itself to update a list of the products it is no longer selling and products that are in danger of being discontinued.

“Products are considered vintage when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 5 and less than 7 years ago,” Apple wrote in a post.
In contrast, products are considered ‘obsolete’ when Apple “stopped distributing them for sale more than 7 years ago.”
Earlier today, the Cupertino, California-based company added the iPhone 6 to their “vintage” section.
Under the statement, users can find links to all Apple products the company considers “vintage,” including old Macs, iPods, and iPads.
The iPhone 6 Plus was first launched in September 2014 alongside the iPhone 6.
However, the phone was discontinued just two years later in September 2016, when the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus were released.

Apple stopped both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus from getting new software updates back in 2019 after the company released iOS 13.
Interestingly enough, the iPhone 6 is not on the vintage list at the time of publication as it was available for sale for a longer period of time.
The 6 Plus was the first iPhone to boast a full HD display.
The device was also one of the first to feature Wi-Fi calling.
