Gadget vintage atau gadget jadul adalah gadget yang telah dihentikan produksinya selama lebih dari 5 tahun, tetapi kurang dari 7 tahun. Sementara itu, gadget obsolete adalah gadget yang telah dihentikan produksinya selama lebih dari 7 tahun.

Dalam pengumuman yang dibuat Apple, iPhone Xs dan iPhone 6S Plus dikategorikan sebagai gadget vintage. Kemudian, Apple mengategorikan pula secara spesifik model iPhone 6S Plus varian 32 GB sebagai gadget obselete.
Kedua model iPhone tersebut memang telah lama dirilis. iPhone ini dirilis pada 2018, yang berarti kini telah berusia enam tahun. Kemudian, iPhone 6S Plus telah dirilis lebih lama lagi, yaitu 2015, yang berarti kini berusia 9 tahun.
Dengan dikategorikan sebagai iPhone “jadul”, apakah iPhone XS Max dan iPhone 6S Plus saat ini masih layak pakai? Jika tertarik untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut, berikut adalah pertimbangan pemakaian iPhone XS Max dan iPhone 6S Plus di 2024.

The Fate of iPhone 16 in Indonesia: What Happened?
The launch of the iPhone 16 in Indonesia is still a mystery. Although it has been released globally, Apple's latest flagship device has not received official permission to be marketed in the country. The main reason is that the iPhone's TKDN (Domestic Component Level) license requirement has not been fulfilled. According to the Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang, Apple still has outstanding investment obligations of USD 10 million or around Rp 158 billion. This makes the TKDN license cannot be granted by the Indonesian government. In his statement to the media, Agus emphasized that this repayment is an absolute requirement. "As long as he has not paid off, the license cannot be issued," Agus explained.
