Apple has updated its list of vintage and obsolete products to include the iPhone 5.

The iPhone 5 now joins the iPhone 3GS (8GB), iPhone 4 CDMA (8GB), as 'vintage' in the United States but is considered obsolete in the rest of the world.

Vintage products are those that have not been manufactured for more than 5 and less than 7 years ago. Apple has discontinued hardware service for vintage iPhones with the exception of devices in the state of California.

Obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than 7 years ago. All Apple Retail Stores and the Canadian, European, Latin American, and Asia-Pacific operating regions follow the U.S. product list, but make no distinction between vintage and obsolete.
