We are just a few days away from a new Apple event, this makes us reflect on the products that will be removed from the physical and online Apple Store
We are starting A new month of the year but it is not just any monthit is the month of September where Apple has its best event of the year as it launches the iPhone 16, among other products. However, It could mean the end of other products that were just introduced a year ago or previous product generations ago. This may be the first time that Apple is moving more iPhones than usual. Now you’ll see why.
Why does Apple stop selling some devices after an event?
According to Mark Gurman, there are several Apple products that are no longer available in physical stores. Not only are they products like iPad, Apple Watch, iPhone, but they also expand to cases.
It is completely normal to leave behind devices that will be considered “pre-owned” or “old” even though they are fully functional. These devices will be available more frequently at third-party retailers and authorized distributors until they are sold out..
Apple decides to remove them to give maximum priority and importance to its new releases. Let’s see which products will no longer be available in stores next week.
iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max
It has been almost a mandatory move for several years now to stop selling Pro models from a previous year. so that the new iPhone Pros, this year the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, can be sold without any problems.
The reality is that Apple also gives prominence to its older devices, but in the mid-range or lower range. To do this, it will put the iPhone 15 on sale, although Apple Intelligence compatibility is in doubt. if this latest model manages to stay on Apple’s shelves and tables.
The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the last Pro models to be 6.1 and 6.7 inches in sizeNew sizes and new titanium colors are expected to debut, including the long-awaited Titanium Gold.
iPhone 14 Plus
After the failure of Apple’s mini models, the solution was to launch something completely different: one of the largest iPhones but at a lower range. That’s why Apple launched the iPhone 14 Plus in a double bid to overcome the previous failure and consolidate its iPhones.
It has the same size and similar battery life as the iPhone Pro Max, bringing back one of the names that Apple had already forgotten since the iPhone 8 Plus. It wasn’t enough, as sales haven’t reflected it. With the arrival of Apple Intelligence, there is no doubt that it will also stop being sold..
iPhone 13
This was One of the latest iPhones to feature a small change to the camera module by arranging diagonally, In addition to having a smaller notchIt is one of the oldest iPhones still being sold officially and that is why its release from sale is imminent.
There is a slight chance that the iPhone 14 will remain on sale as one of the cheaper options. The only thing that makes us doubt is whether Apple will keep iPhones that are not compatible with Apple Intelligence.How severe will Cupertino be with this?
Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 and SE 2
As every September is It is very likely that Apple will also renew the Apple Watch rangeIn this case, the Apple Watch Series 10 will replace the Series 9 with a larger screen, a thinner chassis, and a new chip.
Those from Cupertino have a huge thirst for renewal and that is why they will also renew the Apple Watch Ultra 2 with a third generation that may not have any major new features.
Finally, We will see a new Apple Watch SE 3 where it is rumored that It will have a plastic casing that will make it one of the most affordable smartwatches in Apple’s recent history.. So the Apple Watch SE 2 will say goodbye to both physical and online Apple Stores.
AirPods 2 and 3
New AirPods 4 models are expected to arrive this year, divided into two different ranges. The entry level that will replace the AirPods 2 and a mid-range level that will replace the AirPods 3The difference is that the intermediate AirPods will incorporate active noise cancellation, something that we could only have in the AirPods Pro.
With this release it is likely that Apple is discontinuing two generations of AirPods that were released in 2019 and 2021. Perhaps the AirPods 3 are the ones that have had a significant improvement since they were launched back in 2016 along with the iPhone 7.
A surprise launch that would take away the iPad mini 6 and iPad 10
In recent days there have been rumors that Apple would launch new versions of the iPad at the September event.We are talking about the iPad mini 7 and iPad 11, if these launches happen the iPad mini 6 and iPad 10 will stop being sold by Apple on its official channels. Curiously, the iPad mini stock has run out in Apple Stores.
This would also be part of a strategy to remove models that are not compatible with Apple Intelligence. The last models mentioned have the A15 and A14 chips respectively. What chip will they incorporate to be compatible with Apple’s AI?
