Basically, the tech giant classes products as obsolete when it has been
more than seven years since it 'stopped distributing them for sale' -
meaning the devices can no longer be fixed and rarely receive iOs security updates.
For example, once an iPhone turns ten-years-old, the company can no longer order repair parts for it, so if it ever goes kaput, there is no coming
back for it.
As you can imagine, the OG's such as the iPhone 3G, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5C have been declared obsolete.
You can take a look at the full 'death list' here - and you might be
surprised by how long it is.
