Here’s everything Apple discontinued after the iPhone 16 event

Apple held their annual iPhone keynote this week , announcing the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Pro, two models of AirPods 4, AirPods Max with USB-C, and the fully redesigned Apple Watch Series 10. This is everything that Apple phased out with their new product announcements.

Ever since the iPhone XS and XR were introduced in 2018, Apple has been flagship iPhones just a year after they’re introduced, likely because they’re just all too similar, and Apple would rather you buy one of their entry-level iPhones if you’re looking to save some money.

There was no exception to that rule yesterday, and Apple’s first iPhones with titanium were removed from the online store. You can pick them up at a physical Apple Store for a $100 discount up until the iPhone 16 models come out on September 20th though, if you’re interested.

Apple introduced the in 2021, with a number of upgrades, including longer battery life, a new camera system, and a smaller notch. It started at $799, and has received a number of price cuts over the years, and reached a low of $599 prior to being discontinued.

Now, the has taken the 13’s spot at the $599 price point, and Apple’s first iPhone with a smaller notch has been discontinued.

Although we didn’t get an 3 or 3 yesterday, we did get the redesigned Apple Watch Series 10 yesterday. It has larger displays, an all new speaker, and a lovely new Jet Black finish. Stainless Steel was also replaced with a new polished titanium.

Traditionally, older flagship Apple Watches haven’t stuck around in the lineup, and that continued to be the case yesterday. Luckily, despite all of the changes with the , there was no price increase – so that’s a good thing.

Also – all models in the US won’t have the blood oxygen sensing capabilities, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to buy one. This change started with the in December 2023.

Apple introduced a new pair of yesterday, with a fresh set of color options, and USB-C connectivity. The hardware is otherwise identical to original , and the original headphones have now been discontinued.

The new with USB-C are still quite a bad value at $549, as they lack the Adaptive Audio and better noise cancellation of modern AirPods Pro. However, I’m sure there’ll be some nice clearance deals on in the near future, so there’s that to look forward to, at least.

Apple introduced back in 2019, and continued to sell them even after introducing back in 2021. However, Apple introduced replacements for both models this week, with two new variants of .

The cheapest start at $129, and have spatial audio, the H2 chip, and a newer design. There’s also a higher tier trim of , which includes active noise cancellation. The version of starts at $179.

Last, but not least (actually it is the least) – . Apple debuted their highly controversial cases with the iPhone 15 last year, as an “environmentally friendly” replacement to leather. It was meant to be a premium feeling fabric material, but it missed the mark completely. The cases scratch far too easily, and ultimately failed to satisfy as a premium product.

Apple seemed to acknowledge this, and iPhone cases no longer exist for iPhone 16 models. They did keep around MagSafe wallets and Apple Watch bands, though.
