This week, Apple updated its list of “vintage” and “obsolete” devices around the iPhone 5c, effectively limiting the aftermarket support programs for the seven-year-old handset.

According to Apple’s continuously updated support document, the iPhone 5c was classified as “Vintage” on November 2nd.

Apple defines “vintage” products as devices that were not sold more than five years ago and less than seven years ago.

The iPhone 5c was launched in 2013 as an affordable option for the current flagship iPhone 5S. The handset, which is built into a polycarbonate case, has borrowed a large part of its internal parts from the iPhone 5, apart from a larger battery.

Apple’s entry-level model stayed in rotation until 2015. A later affordable model, the first iPhone SE, was introduced in 2016.

Now that the iPhone 5c is considered vintage, the smartphone can be repaired through Apple stores and authorized repair facilities as long as parts are available. Longer support may be available in regions where such measures are required by law.

The Cupertino tech giant regularly adds older devices to its list of vintage and obsolete products. Select MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models were deemed obsolete in May, while the original iPad mini was added to the list in July.
