July 2, #iPhoneX被列为过时产品#冲上热搜. According to media reports, on July 1, Apple listed the iPhone X, the original HomePod and the original AirPods as "vintage", and according to Apple's classification criteria, products that have been out of sale for more than five years but less than seven years are classified as "obsolete." Apple stores and authorized service providers will continue to provide repair services for these "obsolete products" for up to two years, provided that parts are in sufficient supply.

Under related topics, some netizens commented that "a generation of god machines" and "my X can still be used".

Some people also said, "hot hands".

Someone else commented, "Whether it can be mass-produced and reduced, we just buy it to take pictures." ”

Released on September 12, 2017, the iPhone X was officially launched on November 3, 2017, marking a major leap forward in the design and functionality of Apple's smartphones.

To commemorate the iPhone's 10th anniversary, the iPhone X introduced a number of major changes, such as removing the physical home button and switching to an all-screen design with a 5.8-inch Super Retina OLED display. Face ID replaces Touch ID fingerprint recognition, and for the first time, wireless charging is also supported.

It is reported that the iPhone X was also known as the shortest-lived flagship phone. In the early morning of September 13, 2018, Apple officially released three new iPhones, with the lowest price of 6499 yuan in the national bank. As the flagship model of the previous generation, the iPhone X has been quietly removed from the official website.

After the release of each new generation of iPhone, there are users who wait for the price of the previous generation iPhone to buy after the price drop. But this time, Apple officially did not cut the price, but directly removed the iPhone X. Therefore, some netizens ridiculed that this is probably the shortest-lived emperor. At that time, industry insiders said that if the iPhone X was sold at a reduced price, it would affect the sales of the iPhone XR, and Apple's move was to take the initiative to reduce the behavior of "fighting" with each other within the brand to affect sales.

In addition, the original HomePod was announced at the WWDC Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5, 2017, and officially released on February 9, 2018. The initial price was 2299 yuan. The original AirPods were released on September 7, 2016, and officially launched on December 13, with a price of 1288 yuan. AirPods set a new standard for wireless headphones, making them popular and influential in the audio accessories market.

After being an "obsolete product" for a period of time, Apple's products will be further classified as "discontinued products". Apple said that products that have been out of sale for more than seven years will be considered "discontinued products." At this time, the Apple Store and Authorized Service Providers will no longer provide repairs or other hardware services.

On July 1, U.S. time, Apple closed up 2.9% at $216.75, breaking through the all-time high of $216.67 set on June 17.
