Apple has added one more product to the obsolete list today.
Launched in 2013, the fifth generation 16GB iPod Touch is now officially obsolete throughout the world.
That means, the company will no longer offer services for devices and they will also not provide replacement parts to third party repair companies.
The 14GB iPod touch of the fifth generation is an important device from the company.
Apple announces this device to reduce costs for buyers.
The company dropped half of the storage and camera of the back of the rear of the fifth generation iPod Touch which brought prices down to $ 229 compared to $ 299 from a 32GB variant.
The Apple iPad Touch 16GB model displays a 4-inch retinal display and is powered by the Dual-Core Apple A5 chipset.
The packaging includes apple Earpod too.
At that time, the 16GB model was only available in silver choices and it did not come with a wrist strap.
Apple, then officially stopped the entire fifth generation iPod Touch lineup with the sixth generation that brought performance improvements, features and, yes, the Rear ISIGHT camera returned to the iPod Touch.
Apple then replaces the sixth generation iPod Touch with seventh in 2019.
So, if you have the sixth generation 16GB iPod Touch, it’s time to improve.
How Apple considers the product to be carried out by Apple.
Apple has stopped a product, slowly becomes vintage and then becomes obsolete.
Basically, Apple calls vintage products, if it has stopped selling at least five years, but less than seven years.
And, if a product has been stopped for more than seven years by Apple, it is considered obsolete.
After this, it will no longer receive support or services from Apple.
