Apple has officially marked the third-generation iPad mini as an obsolete product, meaning it will no longer be eligible for repair as service providers cannot order parts for the device.
According to Apple’s support page, “Products are considered obsolete when Apple stopped distributing them for sale more than 7 years ago.”
“Apple discontinues all hardware service for obsolete products, with the sole exception of Mac laptops that are eligible for the additional battery-only repair period. Service providers may not order parts for obsolete products.”
The third generation iPad mini was a popular iPad that was launched in 2014 alongside the second generation iPad Air.
It included the A7 chip and a Touch ID home button.
Meanwhile, the tech giant is reportedly working on a new version of the iPad mini, which is expected to launch in late 2023 or early 2024.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared the information on the micro-blogging platform Twitter and said that the main selling point of the new iPad mini will be its processor.
Furthermore, he said that the iPhone maker will not replace the iPad mini with a folding iPad in 2025.
This is because “the folding iPad should cost significantly more than the iPad mini, so such a replacement is inappropriate”.
