New Delhi: The countdown has begun! Apple’s highly anticipated iPhone 16 launch is just a week away, and the excitement is palpable. This event is set to be a game-changer, with Apple gearing up to unveil its groundbreaking AI features this month. However, in a surprising move, Apple might discontinue several older iPhone models, including the current iPhone 15 Pro Max, according to the latest reports.
Models Potentially Discontinued:
- iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 15 Pro Max
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 13
- AirPods 2
- iPhone 13 Mini
- AirPods Pro 1st Gen
Interestingly, the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus are not on the list, despite not receiving the new Apple Intelligence features.
iPhone 15 Pro Max Discontinued: Should You Buy It Now?
Apple has a history of discontinuing products almost every year, but this doesn’t mean you can’t still buy these models. Older iPhone models are readily available in both offline and online stores, complete with iOS updates and hardware support from Apple.
Discontinuation means Apple will stop manufacturing these models, but sales will continue. If you’re considering AI-supporting models like the 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max, now might be the perfect time to buy, especially if you find tempting deals.
Products that lose Apple support are added to the obsolete or vintage list, which happens 5 to 7 years after their launch. So, concerns about the discontinuation of the 15 Pro Max shouldn’t deter you from purchasing it today or even in the next few years.
What to Expect from the iPhone 16 Launch
The iPhone 16 series is expected to bring significant upgrades, including larger displays, a new vertical camera layout, and enhanced battery life. The Pro models will feature a new “Capture Button” for improved camera functionality. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro models will come with an upgraded 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera lens.
