With the launch of the new iPhone 16 series, some Apple products may not be available on the company's official store.
Apple is expected to launch its iPhone 16 series at the event dubbed ‘It’s glowtime’ on September 9 this year. According to various media reports, the lineup will likely consist of four models including the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Additionally, media outlets have claimed that the tech giant could also launch other products such as new AirPods, Apple Watch models, and more at the event. As every year, some products could leave the shelves of the company's official stores with the introduction of new ones.
According to a report by 9a5MacThere are some Apple products that may not be available on the official store. However, this does not mean that the company is going to discontinue or stop selling these products, but rather it opens a path for new releases.
Additionally, these products will continue to be sold through Apple Authorized Resellers as well as third-party vendors.
Here are the products that could disappear from shelves this year:
1. iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone Pro 15 Max: The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may not even reach the iPhone 16 Pro lineup. Apple typically discontinues its flagship models just a year after their release.
2. iPhone 14 plus:The iPhone 14 plus, which marked the return of Apple's “plus” branding since the iPhone 8 plus in 2017, could be leaving stores with new releases. Meanwhile, reports have also suggested that the iPhone 14 could be available for a little longer.
3. iPhone 13:Apple released the iPhone 13 in 2021 with several improvements, including longer battery life and more. However, it is currently the oldest iPhone available on Apple's website, so it is likely to be retired.
4. Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch SE 2: Apple is likely to release updates to all of its watch models at the “It's Glowtime” event. However, the Apple Watch Series 9 is likely to be discontinued this year.
5. Two Apple AirPods: As Apple is likely to announce new AirPods, the old ones, including the AirPods 2 and 3, will likely disappear from the shelves.
6. Some iPad models: With the expected release of new iPad models, some older iPad models like the iPad mini may no longer be available on their official Website.
