iPhone 16 Launch Set to Discontinue Older Apple Devices
Apple Prepares for iPhone 16 Launch
Apple is set to host its most anticipated event this month on September 9, broadcast from Apple Park in Cupertino, California. At this event, titled ‘It’s Glowtime’, four new iPhone 16 models will be unveiled alongside other exciting product launches.
Devices Expected to be Discontinued
As with each new iPhone release, Apple is expected to discontinue several long-standing devices to make room for the new lineups. Here’s a look at six Apple devices likely facing discontinuation following the iPhone 16 series launch:
- iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
Reports suggest that Apple could discontinue the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max after launching the iPhone 16 series, encouraging users to upgrade for enhanced capabilities and access to Apple Intelligence features. - iPhone 14 Plus
The iPhone 14 Plus might also face discontinuation as the focus shifts from Plus models, with rumors indicating a potential 'Air' model introduction in the iPhone 17 series. - iPhone 13
Being the oldest model, the iPhone 13 is likely on the chopping block as Apple streamlines its product offerings. - AirPods 2 and AirPods 3
With new AirPods 4 expected to debut, the older models may be discontinued to improve the product lineup.
For consumers looking to purchase older Apple products, it might be wise to wait until after the September event to see which devices will no longer be supported.
