Apple could discontinue 10+ popular products next week

Apple is holding its big September launch event next week, and as new products arrive, the company is expected to discontinue 10+ popular current devices. September 9’s new products will lead to older iPhone, Apple Watch models, and more being discontinued When Apple launches new products, it’s common practice for the company to discontinue older devices in those same categories. Based on everything new rumored for the September 9 event, we could see 10+ products discontinued next week. Here’s everything that could be discontinued: iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Pro Max iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch Ultra 3 AirPods 4 AirPods 4 with ANC Apple TV 4K (3rd generation) HomePod mini (1st generation) HomePod (2nd generation) Out of this list, some products are more likely to be discontinued than others. For example, even though iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have been wildly successful, Apple always discontinues its previous Pro models to make room for new ones. However, some of the wildcards include iPhone 16 and 16 Plus and certain Home products. Normally we would expect Apple to launch a new base model iPhone 18, lower the price of the iPhone 17, and discontinue the iPhone 16. But widespread reporting indicates that both iPhone 18 and the iPhone Air 2 are being pushed into early 2027. As a result, it’s unclear whether Apple will continue selling iPhone 16 at least until then. Additionally, due to the unprecedented price hikes that have impacted most Apple products, the company could potentially keep older devices around longer than usual at lower prices, while introducing the new versions at higher prices. In any case, we’re expecting a big September event and that likely means many of the products above will get replacements that push them out of the lineup. *Buy iPhone with 15% discount from Apple refurbished Best iPhone accessories AirTag 2 (now only $79 for 4-pack, down from $99) MagSafe Car Mount for iPhone 10-year AirTag battery case HomeKit smart plug 2-pack 100W USB-C fast charging power adapter FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
