Imagine, a technology that a company can tell you is obsolete. Is that even a technology? The wheel isn't obsolete. The coal powered steam engine is, but that's not because someone says so, that's because it's just naturally no longer useful, other things have since been invented that are more useful for it's same purpose. Why not buy technology that's no longer useful to you when you decide that?

The wheel as a general technology isn't obsolete, but a model year 4000BCE wheel certainly is.

In your analogy that would be like Apple declaring the Smartwatch category obsolete, which they have not done.
