The iPhone 13, released in September 2021, is not typically considered a “classic” model. Classic status often refers to products that have had a significant cultural impact, timeless design, or have been in the market long enough to be seen as iconic. While the iPhone 13 is popular and features strong performance, it is still part of Apple’s ongoing lineup and has been succeeded by newer models like the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15. Classic models are usually identified years after their release, when they become seminal in history.
