For example, once an iPhone turns ten-years-old, the company can no longer order repair parts for it, so if it ever goes kaput, there is no coming back for it. As you can imagine, the OG's such as the iPhone 3G, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5C have been declared obsolete. You can take a look at the full 'death list' here - and you might be surprised by how long it is. https://www.ladbible.com/news/technology/full-iphones-death-list-688143-20240605
