Apple has four products showing signs of being discontinued imminently, with supply reportedly drying up at the Apple Store ahead of successors launching soon.
iPhone 16e
Last February, Apple launched the iPhone 16e as a new budget-friendly model. But all signs point to the iPhone being discontinued shortly as the iPhone 17e nears.
Per Mark Gurman in a post on X, Apple retail employees tell him that inventory of the iPhone 16e has “basically dried out.”
With the iPhone 17e launch expected in the next couple of weeks, it seems Apple has no plans for the iPhone 16e to stick around at a lower price point. Instead, it will be completely discontinued.
M3 iPad Air
Apple’s M3 iPad Air launched last March, and rumors increasingly indicate that its successor is almost here.
A new M4 iPad Air is in the works, with a launch expected in the weeks ahead. And like the iPhone 16e, existing inventory of the M3 iPad Air seems to be running short.
Mark Gurman wrote last night that “the iPad Air is seeing shortages as well. I’ve been expecting new versions of both (iPhone 17e and M4 iPad Air) in the coming weeks.”
