Repairs are now off the table for the iPhone 5, closing out support for one of Apple’s most important early designs.

The company updated its vintage and obsolete products list on March 16, moving the iPhone 5 and 8GB iPhone 4 out of vintage status. The iPhone 5 holds more weight due to its role as the first iPhone with a Lightning port.

Apple will no longer provide hardware service or supply parts for the iPhone 5 through its retail stores or authorized repair network. Effectively, it ends the device’s usable lifespan within Apple’s ecosystem for most users.

The iPhone 5 that launched back in 2012 is now considered obsolete, according to Apple’s list of vintage and obsolete products. Apple moved the iPhone 5 and the 8GB iPhone 4 from the vintage list to the obsolete list today. A device is ”vintage” when it has been five years since it was last distributed for sale, and ”obsolete” at the seven-year mark, though Apple sometimes stretches its timelines.

The Kennedy Center board voted to close down the arts institution for two years, but questions about the legality of doing so remain. 

At a board meeting Monday, the board, which is now made up of Trump appointees, moved to vote for the closure starting after July 4, due to what the President has described as necessary renovations. The board also voted in favor of The Washington National Opera’s decision to leave the Kennedy Center, according to an attendee at the meeting. 

Even before they began, Trump, who has named himself chair of the board, noted that he viewed the vote on the matter as largely irrelevant.

Many of the categories at the 98th Academy Awards were absolutely stacked, but ”Sinners” and ”One Battle After Another” led the winners’ list during last night’s ceremony. Those wins are well-deserved, along with some pleasantly surprising ones like Amy Madigan being awarded for her unforgettable supporting role in ”Weapons” and ”KPop Demon Hunters” winning Best Animated Feature Film.

Among the major awards that Paul Thomas Anderson’s ”One Battle After Another” won last night (including Best Picture) was the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, which went to Sean Penn, who plays Col. Steven J. Lockjaw in the film. This was the actor’s third Oscar win, with his previous awards for Best Actor being for ”Mystic River” and ”Milk” in 2004 and 2009, respectively.
