As 2025 draws to a close, Apple has quietly cleaned up its hardware portfolio, discontinuing a long list of popular products across iPhones, iPads, Macs, wearables, and accessories. The move signals a clear shift in Apple’s product strategy as it prepares for a redesigned launch cycle and new form factors in the coming years.
Among the most notable exits are the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, the third-generation iPhone SE, and the MacBook Air with M3 chip. Apple has confirmed that the iPhone SE line has been replaced by the new iPhone 16e, launched earlier this year, with expectations already building around a possible iPhone 17e next year.

iPhones discontinued in 2025
Apple has trimmed its iPhone lineup aggressively this year, retiring both older and recent models to simplify choices and push newer designs.
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
- iPhone 16 Pro
- iPhone 15 Plus
- iPhone 15
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 14
- iPhone SE (3rd generation)
This marks the end of the SE branding for now, as Apple appears to be repositioning its “e” models as the new entry-level option.
iPads dropped from Apple’s lineup
Several iPads have also been phased out as Apple transitions to refreshed chipsets and slimmer lineups.
- iPad Pro with M4 chip
- iPad Air with M2 chip
- iPad (10th generation)
The changes suggest Apple is streamlining overlaps between Air and Pro models while preparing room for refreshed designs in 2026.
Apple Watch models discontinued
Wearables have not been spared either, with three Apple Watch variants removed from sale.
- Apple Watch Ultra 2
- Apple Watch Series 10
- Apple Watch SE (2nd generation)
This likely sets the stage for a tighter Watch lineup focused on clearer feature separation.
Macs no longer sold
Apple has also cleared out several Mac models powered by older silicon.
- Mac Studio with M2 Max and M2 Ultra
- 14-inch MacBook Pro with M4
- 13-inch MacBook Air with M3
- 15-inch MacBook Air with M3
- 13-inch MacBook Air with M2
The removal of M2 and M3-based MacBook Air models points to a full transition toward newer-generation chips across Apple’s laptop range.
Audio, accessories, and Vision products phased out
A few accessories and niche products have also quietly exited Apple’s shelves.
- AirPods Pro (2nd generation)
- Apple Vision Pro with M2
- MagSafe Charger with Qi 2
- 30W USB-C Power Adapter
- Lightning to 3.5mm Audio Cable
- MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter
These changes underline Apple’s continued shift away from legacy ports and accessories tied to older ecosystems.

What Apple is planning next
Looking ahead, 2026 and early 2027 are expected to be pivotal. Apple is widely rumoured to tweak its traditional launch calendar, with flagship iPhone 18 Pro models expected in September 2026, followed by standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e variants in early 2027.
There is also growing buzz around Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone, which could arrive as early as next year and take on foldables like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series.
For consumers, the mass discontinuation means fewer choices—but clearer ones—while for Apple, it’s a reset that aligns hardware, silicon, and software more tightly than ever.
