Apple is continuing to upgrade their flagship technology, the iPhone, and it means some old versions of the device will soon be obsolete. Certain old models will no longer be sold by Apple and they will stop offering repairs on them. This is because they are expected to become slow by this point and it is generally easier to update to a new model with better features. Since the first iPhone was revealed in 2007, Apple has had huge success with their phone and Statista numbers show they had the highest market share of any phone manufacturer in the last quarter of 2021. Apple changed the face of the mobile phone market when the late Steve Jobs revealed the first iPhone. The statistics show that 23.4% of the world's smartphones, and show they have knocked Samsung off the top spot. With iPhones so important to the world's economy and everyday lives of people, some will be wondering if their old phone will soon become obsolete, while some will be marked as vintage. Some interesting features could be introduced to the iPhone 14, expected in September this year, but details of the launch are generally kept under wraps.
