6 Devices Apple Discontinued After September Event

After the Apple event dedicated to the iPhone 16, it is time to count the damage since there are devices that have been removed from the Cupertino catalog

It was imminent that after the launch of new products at the September event dedicated mainly to the iPhone 16, we would witness the farewell of several existing products. As is almost a tradition, when a new generation of iPhone is launched, the oldest generation disappears.. This year, the iPhone 13 bids farewell to Apple’s official catalog, as well as other products that we list below.

iPhone 13 bids farewell to Apple’s official catalog

Now the iPhone 13 can be seen even cheaper in third-party stores and at some authorized distributors since it is no longer present in the Apple Store both physically and online. This also means that the iPhone 14 and the third-generation iPhone SE are the last official iPhones to feature Lightning from Apple. Next year, the farewell to the Lightning port could be confirmed when the fourth-generation iPhone SE and iPhone 17 launch. The USB-C port is here to stay and came with the iPhone 15.

The most normal thing now, if you are planning to upgrade to a new iPhone, Don’t buy the third generation SE anymore since it will most likely be updated in the first months of 2025. If you want a more modern iPhone but don’t want to spend a lot of money, the best option might be an iPhone 15 but you won’t get Apple Intelligence. The normal thing might be to go for an iPhone 16; but if you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a new iPhone It is better to opt for an iPhone 14 with all the limitations that this device entails..

If you can hold out for a few more months until March or April 2025, definitely the iPhone SE 4 This will be the most affordable version with Apple Intelligence.

Apple Watch Series 9, the tenth anniversary forces Apple to retire it

Without a doubt, one of the launches that left a good taste in the mouth was the Apple Watch Series 10. Apple’s smartwatch has undergone a slight redesign, although it stands out as the thinnest of all its predecessorsin addition to reviving the Jet Black (piano black) color of the iPhone 7.

The Apple Watch Series 9 says goodbye not because it is bad, on the contrary, it integrates the S9 chip accompanied by new touch gestures. The most popular was the double-tap gesture with the fingers, with which it is possible to use the watch without touching the screen.

iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

The same case of the Apple Watch Series 9 is repeated with the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. When the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max were launched, It was obvious that the previous Pro models would have to be removed from the Apple Store. These models introduced a material as elegant and delicate as titanium, a base that the Apple Watch Series 10 now uses to replace stainless steel.

Titanium remains to welcome the new Desert Titanium, a color very similar to the gold of previous generations of iPhone. Many users on social networks have associated it with a similarity to the iPhone XS.

Second and third generation AirPods

Finally, the new AirPods 4; now available in two different ranges where the radical difference lies in the active noise cancellation, let out of catalog for AirPods 2 and 3.

The AirPods 4 debut the H2 chip from the AirPods Pro 2, plus they have a case with a USB-C port and MagSafe charging. They offer up to 30 hours of audio playback and 6 hours of battery life on a single charge. The most expensive AirPods model has a transparency mode and adaptive EQ.

Finally, the AirPods Max are updated with a USB-C port. So if you want to make this purchase you will no longer find them with a Lightning port. In addition, new colors have been presented and starting with iOS 18, they will have personalized spatial audio.

On September 20, the new products will go on sale

Starting September 13, the new devices presented at the Apple event can be reserved: the entire iPhone 16 range, Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in its new titanium black color. It is now possible to pre-order the AirPods 4 and AirPods Max with USB-C port.
