Apple To Ignore Original iPhone On June 11

Let us go back with the time for a few years, Apple released its first generation iPhone on June 29,2007 and since this day and Apple’s iPhone became the most popular and smartest device you will ever see, but it looks like that it will soon reach ‘obsolete’ status at Apple’s retail stores. This comes via an internal Apple communication which reveals that Apple Stores will downgrade the original 2007 iPhone model to ‘obsolete’ status come June 11, 2013.

Just after Apple introduced the first generation iPhone, the device had enjoyed an unprecedented amount of media attention that fueled the media frenzy to unheard-of levels. But even the phone that changed the cell phones forever deserves retirement. By obsoleting the device, Apple will no longer be providing service parts…

According to a new report from the folks at 9to5mac, on June 11, 2013, the original iPhone, along with several other Macs and Xserve models “will officially be classified as vintage and obsolete products by Apple.”

So what does this means ? Well in case you have the original iPhone, Mac and Xserve models may only obtain service and parts from Apple service providers or Apple Retail Stores within the state of California.

“Apple does not provide service parts nor service documentation for obsolete products,” the internal document reportedly reads. “Obsolete products (obsolete and vintage in the U.S.) cannot be facilitated as Mail-In Repairs to Apple Care Repair Centers.”

Along with the original iPhone, the following products will reach ‘obsolete’ status come June 29: the original AirPort Express Base Station, mid-2007 20-inch iMac, mid-2007 24-inch iMac, the original Mac Pro, late-2007 13-inch MacBook, 2.2/2.4GHz 15-inch MacBook Pro, 2.4GHz 17-inch MacBook Pro, late-2006 Xserve, SFP late-2004 Xserve RAID, 17-inch iMac G5 (iSight), 20-inch iMac G5 (iSight), late-2005 Mac mini, 15-inch PowerBook G4 (Double-Layer SuperDrive) and 17-inch PowerBook G4 (Double-Late SuperDrive).
