Apple says the iPhone X, first-generation AirPods, and first-generation HomePod are now “vintage.”
Apple says the iPhone X, first-generation AirPods, and first-generation HomePod are now considered “vintage,” as reported by MacRumors. So, if you own a first-generation HomePod — or multiple, like the person I sold my HomePod to in 2022 — it might sting to hear that Apple already considers the six-year-old speaker “vintage.
Apple isn’t yet considering the first-gen HomePod, first-gen AirPods, or iPhone X “obsolete” — Apple won’t service hardware after that milestone, which it says applies to products the company stopped distributing more than seven years ago. But if you have multiple OG HomePods around your house and they need repairs — I hope that’s not the case for the person who has my old HomePod! — you might want to figure those out sooner rather than later.
