Apple discontinued 23 products in 2025 across iPhones, iPads, Watches, and more to streamline its lineup and push upgrades to superior models.
Discontinued iPhones
iPhone 16 Pro Max (replaced by 17 Pro Max), 16 Pro (17 Pro), 15 Plus, 15, 14 Plus, 14, and SE (now 16e) got axed due to hardware limits and new AI/camera tech in successors. Owners face shorter software support; sell now for max resale before prices tank.
iPads & Watches Retired
iPad Pro M4 (to M5), Air M2 (M3), iPad 10 (A16); Watches: Ultra 2 (Ultra 3), Series 10 (11), SE 2 (3). Newer chips boost speed/battery; older ones lag on apps/health features.
MacBooks & Accessories Gone
Mac Studio M2 (M4/M3), Pro 14" M4 (M5), Air M3/M2; AirPods Pro 2 (Pro 3), Vision Pro M2 (M5), chargers/cables updated. Pros gain efficiency; accessories ensure compatibility.
