Apple May Soon Phase Out iPhone 15 Pro Max and AirPods: What We Know So Far

Apple’s big iPhone 16 launch is just over a week away, and the excitement is palpable as the company gears up for its big AI unveil this month. However, Apple may pull the plug on older iPhone models, six of them when the new iPhones are announced. In fact, the list of models could include the current iPhone 15 Pro Max as well, according to the latest reports this week. It may come as a shock to many that Apple might stop selling one of its premium models but it’s not entirely different from how the company has operated over the years.

Apple iPhone models can withstand the call

These iPhone models and other Apple devices may be discontinued after the big launch this month:

– iPhone 15 Pro
– iPhone 15 Pro Max
– iPhone 14 Plus
– iPhone 13
– AirPods 2
– iPhone 13 mini
– AirPods Pro 1st Generation

iPhone 15 Pro Max discontinued: Should people buy it now?
As we said, Apple has a habit of discontinuing products quite often and it does so almost every year. Having said that, you can easily buy older iPhone models from the market, offline or online stores, and get all the iOS update support and hardware support from the company.

Discontinuing the product effectively means that Apple will stop making the model but its sales don’t end there. So, if you’re planning to get these AI-supporting iPhone models like the 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max, now might be the best time to consider them, especially if the deals on them make it attractive. Products that lose Apple support are added to the obsolete or vintage list, which occurs 5 to 7 years after the device was launched and is available for sale in the market. Your worries about discontinuing a product like the Apple 15 Pro Max shouldn’t scare you away from buying it today or in a few years.
