Apple just threw the original iPhone SE onto its obsolete products list along with seven other devices that hit the seven-year mark after getting discontinued. The SE stopped selling back in 2018, and the cutoff clock starts ticking from when Apple pulls something from stores instead of when it first launched. Other stuff that made the list includes second-gen iPad Pro 12.9-inch models, a bunch of Apple Watch Series 4 variants like the Hermes and Nike editions, and the Beats Pill 2.0 speaker.
Once something lands on the obsolete roster, Apple Stores and authorized repair shops will not touch it anymore for fixes or service. The regular Apple Watch Series 4 is not on there yet since only specific versions got axed, and products hit vintage status after five years before eventually going full obsolete at the seven-year mark.
