Apple officially stopped supporting iPhone 5 repair

From October 30, 2018, iPhone 5 was officially listed on Apple's outdated product list and will not receive repair support from the company.

Apple products will still receive hardware and repair support from the company at least a year after stopping production. After that time, the product will be converted to 'obsolete' or 'classic'.

In California and Turkey, Apple supports a limited number of products in two years after they are considered 'outdated' elsewhere. So only in these two places does exist the difference between 'obsolete' (obsolete) and 'Vintage' (classic).

However, the rules in Turkey apply not to iPhone but only to iPad and Mac. So, all iPhone 5 is considered 'obsolete' (obsolete) but in US iPhone 5 is considered a 'vintage' to follow California state regulations.

iPhone 5 is the first iPhone with a large screen (4inch), the first iPhone is equipped with Lightning port, . should be considered an important product to assess new milestones in the way of Apple's development.

On Apple's website, there is a full list of 'vintage' products and 'obsolete' (obsolete) and iPhone 5 is the only change on this list. Apple only updates this list, not announcing when products were converted.
