claims.<\/p>\n<p>The tech titan warned that Apple is about to update its \u201cvintage products\u201d list \u2013 which all iPhone owners need to know about.<\/p>\n<p>Several iPhone models have already been declared \u201cvintage\u201d and \u201cobsolete\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But MacRumors claims to have seen an internal Apple memo warning that the iPhone 6 Plus is joining the list on December 31.<\/p>\n<p>Apple sold tens of millions of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models after their launch in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 6 is reportedly \u201csafe until 2023\u201d, but the iPhone 6 Plus isn\u2019t so lucky.<\/p>\n<p>This popular iPhone model won\u2019t stop working overnight \u2013 but that\u2019s not the real danger.<\/p>\n<p>There are two key problems you\u2019ll face as an owner.<\/p>\n<p>Once an iPhone shifts into the \u2018Vintage\u2019 list, it suddenly becomes significantly harder to get spare parts and repairs for that model.<\/p>\n<p>So if something goes wrong with the device, you become limited in terms of fixing it.<\/p>\n<p>This \u2018Vintage\u2019 period lasts for two years, after which Apple declares it \u2018Obsolete\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure

later.<\/p>\n<p>So it should come as no surprise that millions of these older models are now being phased out.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Apple cut off support for the iPhone 6 two years ago with the release of iOS 13.<\/p>\n<p>This is a big problem for owners, and not just because you miss out on new features.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also be overlooked for key security updates, which puts you at greater risk of being hacked.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are starting to sound a little ancient.<\/p>\n<p>Both smartphones started with a lowly 16GB of storage, which is very poor by
