8 Apple Products you likely didn’t know hit vintage status

 

I have a problem — I’m a chronic upgrader. MacBooks, iPhones, Apple Watches, and, most recently, iPads are products I switch out as soon as Apple releases a new one. The two exceptions to my upgrade addition have been the pair of 2nd-generation 4K Apple TVs and my four 1st-generation HomePods. On July 1 this year, Apple recategorized the original HomePod as vintage. Vintage status means that in two years, it’ll be classified as obsolete. During these two years, I’m less likely to access replacements, and my HomePods will no longer receive regular software updates. I guess Apple Intelligence really isn’t coming to the HomePod.
