Is your old iPhone eligible for hardware repairs?
Any iPhones launched in the last five years are eligible for repair. But not all iPhone models are eligible for hardware repair as parts might not be available for older iPhones, which Apple classifies as ‘vintage’ and ‘obsolete’ products.
According to Apple, vintage products include devices that haven’t been sold in the last five to seven years, and obsolete products include those discontinued over seven years ago.
While you’ll still be able to get vintage products repaired, depending on the availability of hardware at your local Apple-certified repair store, getting hardware support for obsolete products is going to be really difficult as Apple stops shipping parts for them to service providers.
Any repairs not in-warranty or covered by AppleCare+ that need to be shipped will cost an extra $6.95.
