Shocking News: Beloved iPhones, iPads, and Watch Faces Discontinuation After September 9 Apple Event | Tech News
Apple is expected to phase out several existing devices following their upcoming "It’s Glowtime" launch event on September 9, 2024. This aligns with their typical strategy of discontinuing older models with each annual hardware update.
iPhones:
Apple has a consistent track record of discontinuing previous flagship models once new ones are introduced. This year, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max are likely to be replaced by the iPhone 16 Pro series. Additionally, the iPhone 14 Plus and the last remaining model from the iPhone 13 series, could also be discontinued in favor of making the base iPhone 14 Apple’s most affordable offering.
Apple Watch:
Significant updates are anticipated for both the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra lines. The Apple Watch Series 10 is rumored to feature a larger display, slimmer design, and a new chip, while the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is expected to boast a more powerful processor. This update may lead to the discontinuation of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 10. However, the Apple Watch SE2 might continue to be available unless Apple introduces an SE3 model.
AirPods:
Two new AirPods 4 models are expected to replace the current second and third-generation AirPods. The new standard AirPods 4 will include Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology and will supplant the AirPods 3. An entry-level AirPods 4 with a fresh design and updated audio drivers will likely replace the AirPods 2.
iPads:
Apple may also unveil new iPad models, including a refreshed iPad Mini and entry-level iPad powered by the latest Apple Silicon. If so, the existing iPad Mini sixth generation and iPad 10th generation models could be phased out.
This anticipated discontinuation slate represents Apple’s commitment to innovation and streamlining its product lineup.
