iPhone 5 and 8GB iPhone 4 Enter Apple's Obsolete Tier
Apple has moved the iPhone 5 (launched 2012) and the 8GB iPhone 4 (launched 2011) to its obsolete list, meaning Apple stops providing repair parts and repairs are largely unavailable. The iPhone 5 introduced the Lightning port and was discontinued in 2013, while the 8GB iPhone 4 was also discontinued in 2013; both later appeared as low-cost options in emerging markets before being reclassified as obsolete.
