The Apple Watch Series 3 and the iPhone 11 Pro Max have recently been added to Apple’s list of vintage products. This designation means that Apple has stopped manufacturing the spare parts needed for repairs of these models. Although repairs can still be obtained through Apple’s customer service or its network of authorized repairers, the availability of parts will gradually decrease as existing stocks at various repair centers are depleted. It is expected that these devices will reach the end of their service life in about two years, after which users will need to seek out third-party repair services.

The Apple Watch Series 3 was initially released in September 2017 and remained a staple in the entry-level category for an extended period. It was still available alongside the Apple Watch Series 7 in 2021 until the launch of the first Apple Watch SE in 2022. The iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max were launched in September 2019 and were discontinued a year later with the release of the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
