Goodbye iPhone 5

The iPhone 5 was introduced by Phil Schiller during a keynote speech on September 12, 2012. It was available in black and white with 16, 32 or 64 GB.

Apple has officially discontinued support for the popular 4-inch iPhone. Since October 30, 2018, it has been on the "vintage" list in the US. The iPhone 5 is therefore considered "obsolete" or "discontinued."

What does this mean for users?

This means that users can no longer get repairs from Apple or authorized service providers. In the event of a problem, they have to resort to independent service providers. Apart from a few exceptions, Apple's rule of thumb is to produce spare parts for devices for five years - but this period only starts when production of the respective device is discontinued. Only then is the customer forced to look for spare parts elsewhere.
