iPhone X Obsolete: End of an Era?
14 Aug
Summary
- Apple officially lists the iPhone X as obsolete.
- Obsolete status means no more hardware service from Apple.
- iPhone X launched in 2017 and introduced the notch.
The original iPhone X, launched in 2017, has officially been added to Apple's list of obsolete products as of Thursday, August 14, 2026. This designation signifies that the device is no longer eligible for hardware service at Apple Stores or through Authorized Service Providers.
The iPhone X was a landmark device, introducing the distinctive notch that became a hallmark of modern iPhones with their nearly bezel-less displays. Its obsolescence, nearly nine years after its release, also aligns with the end of its software support, making it advisable for users to upgrade.
In addition to the iPhone X, Apple also designated the 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro as obsolete. This move further emphasizes Apple's transition away from Intel processors towards its own silicon chips.
The iPhone X's obsolescence in 2026 may also be symbolic, potentially heralding a new era of radical iPhone designs, such as rumored foldable models and all-glass, no-notch displays expected in the coming years.
