While the arrival of a new iPhone every year is a source of interest for consumers, it also means that it’s time to say goodbye to the old version.
News about the tech company Apple is circulating that with the expected release of the iPhone 15 this year, the company is going to discontinue an older version. According to the phone experts at Tom’s Guide, it’s the iPhone 12’s turn to shut down this time.
The main reason for this is that the phone is three years old and Apple usually doesn’t produce a version for that long. The change will mean that Apple will no longer produce the iPhone 12 or sell it on its website. However, users will be able to purchase the phone from other retailers.
Apple usually continues software support for older models after they stop selling them. However, there comes a time when the device becomes very old and its software updates are not given.
There is a chance that the new model is updated based on security reasons go Most software updates come with fixes for security issues that hackers take advantage of.
Apple says that all products that Apple stopped selling more than seven years ago are considered obsolete. Apple has discontinued all hardware service for obsolete products and service providers cannot order parts for these obsolete products.
