iPhone 4 has been declared obsolete. Apple does this as they move on to newer versions of its incredibly popular phone.
If you’re still carrying around an iPhone 4, you may not be able to have it repaired by Apple any longer, unless you live in California. California requires that manufacturers support electronic devices for at least 7 years. Since iPhone 4 is only 5 years old, some people are able to get their phone repaired directly by Apple.
Does this mean if you have the iPhone 4 you can’t get it repaired if something happens? Well, no. If something happens to it, you can use a third-party repair service, such as iResQ.
