Apple's upcoming September launch event is expected to see the discontinuation of 10 or more popular products, according to recent reports. As the company unveils new devices, it is customary for Apple to phase out older models in the same categories. Based on the rumored lineup for the September 9 event, several products may be discontinued.
Among the devices likely to be discontinued, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are assumed to be replaced, as Apple has a history of discontinuing previous Pro models when introducing new ones. However, the fate of iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, as well as certain Home products, remains uncertain. Traditionally, Apple would launch a new base model iPhone 18, lower the price of the iPhone 17, and discontinue the iPhone 16.
Yet, recent reports suggest that both the iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are being delayed until early 2027, leaving the status of the iPhone 16 in question.
Moreover, Apple's decision to raise prices on most of its products could lead to a different scenario. The company might maintain older devices at lower prices while introducing the new versions at higher costs. Regardless, the September launch event is anticipated to bring significant changes, resulting in many of the aforementioned products being replaced by their newer counterparts.
