Apple’s annual iPhone occasion is being held subsequent week on September ninth, the place we’ll see iPhone 16, new AirPods, some new Apple Watch fashions, and probably extra. Nevertheless, the introduction of recent merchandise additionally means saying goodbye to older ones. These are some Apple merchandise you in all probability gained’t have the ability to purchase from the Apple Retailer after that keynote.

iPhone 15 Professional & iPhone 15 Professional Max

Ever because the iPhone XS and XR had been launched in 2018, Apple has been discontinuing flagship iPhones only a yr after they’re launched, possible as a result of they’re simply all too comparable, and Apple would quite you purchase one in every of their entry-level iPhones in case you’re trying to avoid wasting cash. There’s no cause to count on that custom to vary, so we’ll possible be saying goodbye to Apple’s first iPhone with titanium.

It’s additionally prone to be the final Professional iPhone to come back with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display sizes, because the iPhone 16 Professionals are anticipated to have bigger shows. The iPhone 15 Professional additionally is available in a pleasant Blue Titanium coloration, one thing that in all probability gained’t stick round within the 16 Professional lineup.

iPhone 14 Plus was Apple’s first entry-level giant iPhone, following up the failure of the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini. It packed the identical 6.7-inch show and lengthy lasting battery life because the Professional Max iPhones, simply in a less expensive bundle. The 14 Plus additionally introduced again the “Plus” branding for the primary time because the 2017 iPhone 8 Plus.

Apple discontinued the iPhone 13 mini final September whereas persevering with to promote the iPhone 13, so it’s believable we’ll see the same technique once more this yr – with the 14 Plus getting axed and iPhone 14 sticking round for somewhat longer.

iPhone 13

Apple launched the iPhone 13 in 2021, with various upgrades, together with longer battery life, a brand new digicam system, and a smaller notch. It began at $799, and has acquired various value cuts through the years, now beginning at $599. Nevertheless, it’s now approaching 3 years outdated and stays the oldest iPhone on the market on Apple’s web site.

If historical past repeats itself, the iPhone 13 can even be going away, and iPhone 14 will take its place on the $599 value level – at the very least till iPhone SE 4 comes out.

Apple Watch Sequence 9, Extremely 2, and SE 2

We’re probably anticipating refreshes to all three Apple Watch fashions subsequent week.

Extremely 3 can also be anticipated to get a minor refresh this yr, and the SE 3 is rumored to be switching to a plastic casing for a extra inexpensive value level.

If the entire Apple Watches get up to date, Apple will more than likely cease promoting the entire present technology Sequence 9, Extremely 2, and SE 2 fashions.

AirPods 2 and AirPods 3

Apple has been promoting AirPods 2 since 2019, serving as an entry degree mannequin at an inexpensive value level with the entire important options, and regardless that AirPods 3 had been launched in 2021 with Spatial Audio, higher audio high quality, and different options – Apple nonetheless saved AirPods 2 within the lineup. Nevertheless, that needs to be altering quickly.

Subsequent week, we’re anticipating two new trims of AirPods 4, an entry degree trim to exchange AirPods 2, and a mid-tier trim to exchange AirPods 3. The mid tier trim is anticipated to incorporate noise cancellation, not like the already current AirPods 2. With each of those AirPods fashions being launched, we’ll possible see AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 each go away.

We needs to be seeing refreshes to 2 of Apples least expensive iPads subsequent week, the iPad mini 6 and the iPad 10. Though Apple lowered the value of the iPad 10 earlier this yr, rumors recommend that we’ll nonetheless be seeing a refresh quickly. It’s nonetheless potential Apple will hold across the iPad 10 at a fair lower cost than $349 as soon as they introduce the 11, however I doubt it.

As for the iPad mini, Apple hasn’t saved an older mannequin round in current historical past, in order that must also be discontinued after the keynote. The brand new mannequin is anticipated to incorporate help for Apple Intelligence, extra storage, and probably Apple Pencil Professional help.
