Apple has added the Apple Watch Series 1 to its obsolete list, which implies lack of support for users. Devices become obsolete after being discontinued for sale for over seven years. Apple products are considered vintage until they reach this point. The original Apple Watch debuted in 2015, and the Series 1 came in 2016. Critics argue that a lifespan of less than a decade for costly tech devices contributes to an e-waste crisis, as discarded electronics release toxic chemicals into the environment.
Apple has officially added the Apple Watch Series 1 to its 'obsolete' list, meaning users will lack support for repairs or parts.
Products are classified as 'obsolete' after being discontinued for sale for more than seven years, leading to a complete discontinuation of support.
Environmental campaigners criticize Apple for contributing to an 'e-waste crisis', where discarded electronics lead to toxic chemicals harming the atmosphere.
Apple's practice of gradually removing support for products five years after launch has raised concerns about the reasonable lifespan of expensive tech devices.
