As Apple is expected to prepare for its annual iPhone event in September, fans can expect new products such as the iPhone 16, AirPods 4, and Apple Watch Series 10.

However, with new arrivals comes with the departure of older models. Apple's product lineup is constantly evolving, and this year is no exception.

The following products are on the radar to be discontinued:

This list should work for the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 13, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2, Apple Watch SE 2, AirPods 2, AirPods 3, iPad mini-6, and iPad 10.

These products would be discontinued for several reasons, some of the newer models have better features and specifications; Apple traditionally stops selling older iPhone models a year after their release.

Streamlining the product lines and focusing on the newest technology are some of the other reasons, and to make way for new products and refreshes.

This can also mean clearance sales and remaining stocks are sold at discounted prices, possible price cuts on some of the newer models, and a shift in consumer purchase behaviour. If you need a unit, now would be the time to get any available unit of these products.
