Apple has updated its vintage product list by adding the iPhone 6s and the 2018 Mac mini. For context, Apple considers products “vintage” five years after they are no longer distributed for sale. These products will now receive limited service and repairs worldwide.
The iPhone 6s was launched alongside the iPhone 6s Plus in 2015, but Apple continued selling the base model as an affordable option until 2018. While the iPhone 6s Plus was added to Apple’s vintage list late last year, the standard model is only now joining its larger sibling (via MacRumors).
The current list of vintage iPhones includes: iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE (1st gen), iPhone 8 Red, iPhone 8 Plus Red, iPhone X, and iPhone XS Max.
The iPhone 6s was one of the best-selling smartphones in the world. According to reports ahead of the iPhone 7 launch, the iPhone 6s shipped 14.2 million units and accounted for 4% of all smartphones shipped globally in Q2 2016. It was reportedly the most popular smartphone in the world at the time, followed by the iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
The iPhone 6s was the first Apple smartphone to feature 3D Touch—a feature that deserves a comeback.
