As 2025 draws to a close, Apple has made significant changes to its product lineup, discontinuing several devices and accessories. Many of these products were replaced by upgraded models with new chips. Notably, the iPhone SE line was entirely discontinued following the release of the iPhone 16e, and the iPhone Plus line is being phased out in favor of the ultra-thin iPhone Air. The iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro were succeeded by their iPhone 17 counterparts, while models such as the iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 series were also discontinued.
In the iPad range, the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and entry-level iPad received faster chips, leading to the discontinuation of previous versions. The Apple Watch lineup saw the Series 10 and SE 2 models replaced by newer versions, although the changes were minimal.
The Mac series also underwent updates, with the Mac Studio and various MacBook Air models receiving new chips. Other discontinued products include the AirPods Pro 2, Apple Vision Pro, and several accessories like the MagSafe Charger and Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable.
Apple’s strategic updates reflect its focus on integrating advanced technology across its devices, ensuring users benefit from enhanced performance and features.
