Apple is introducing its newest iPhone 16 in September, meaning it’s one again time for the company to render yet another device obsolete. This fall, the iPhone 15 model won’t qualify for the standard update, making it the fastest model to be taken off the shelf in Apple’s history since it’s release in September 2023. Typically, a device is considered ‘obsolete’ once it reaches the seven-year mark since Apple stopped selling it, but because ‘vintage’ devices were discontinued between five and seven years, users can get part replacements for another two years. When a new iPhone is released, the previous device remains available for sale at a reduced price. Despite the 15 model’s short shelf life, the company reportedly won’t supply it with the newest features from their latest iOS 18 update, although the 11 through 14 series will still be compatible with\u00a0the\u00a0software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
