Remember the iPhone SE from 2016? That little tech marvel that wowed us with the iPhone 5S’s charm, souped-up with the A9 chip and a snazzy camera, all while being kind to your wallet? Well, if you’re still holding onto that gem, you’re in for a vintage treat. Your beloved iPhone SE has officially entered Apple’s vintage list, a tech retirement home for gadgets that stopped gracing store shelves between five and seven years ago.

The SE waved goodbye to sales in September 2018, making room for the iPhone XS. Now, as it gets its ‘vintage’ badge, finding parts for this old friend might become a treasure hunt. But don’t fret just yet. Vintage status in Apple’s world is like a graceful step towards the “obsolete” label, which only comes into play after seven sale-less years, signaling the end of all hardware service.
For a visual representation of this nostalgic journey, picture a DALL-E image prompt: “A well-loved iPhone SE, displaying its unique features, is set against a backdrop of its successors, highlighting its journey from a popular budget-friendly option to a vintage Apple classic.
So, if you’re clutching onto that 2016 iPhone SE, give it a pat for making it to the vintage league. In the fast-paced world of tech, where phones come and go, your SE is a reminder of simpler times and smart tech choices. Here’s to cherishing those vintage vibes!
