As Apple prepares for its highly anticipated iPhone 16 series launch on September 9, users of older iPhone models should be aware of potential discontinuations. Here’s why you should consider upgrading soon.
Upcoming iPhone 16 Series Launch
Apple’s Glowtime event on September 9 will introduce the iPhone 16 series, which is expected to include:
– iPhone 16
– iPhone 16 Plus
– iPhone 16 Pro
– iPhone 16 Pro Max
In addition to these new models, Apple will launch several accessories, including:
– AirPods 4
– Apple Watch SE 3
– Apple Watch Ultra 3
– Apple Watch Series 10
– iPad Mini 7
Why You Should Upgrade Now
Apple has a history of discontinuing older iPhone models with the launch of new ones. If you own an iPhone that’s 3-4 years old or older, it’s wise to consider upgrading. Discontinued models may no longer receive software updates or security patches, potentially exposing you to privacy risks and data breaches.
Models Likely to Be Discontinued
Post-launch, Apple is expected to phase out the following models:
– iPhone 13 series
– iPhone 14 series
– iPhone 15 Pro
– iPhone SE
Additionally, certain AirPods and Apple Watch models may also be discontinued.
Discounts on Discontinued Models
While discontinuation may seem like bad news, it presents an opportunity for savings. Expect significant discounts on iPhone 14 variants as Apple clears out older inventory. Keep an eye out for deals and protect your data by upgrading to a newer model.
