Whenever Apple releases a new device, it means some older devices will be discontinued. Last week, Apple unveiled a slew of new products, including the mesmerizing MacBook Neo, the affordable iPhone 17e, and the more powerful MacBook Pro M5 Pro/Max laptops. As part of an effort to streamline sales of equipment, the company discontinued 15 existing models. Surprisingly, not all equipment is many years old. The oldest product was released in 2019, while the newest was launched just six months ago. Below is a list of 15 discontinued products:
-
iPhone 16e with A18 (2025)
-
11-inch iPad Air with M3 (2025)
-
13-inch iPad Air with M3 (2025)
-
13-inch MacBook Air with M4 (2025)
-
15-inch MacBook Air with M4 (2025)
-
13-inch MacBook Pro (2025) with M5 and 512GB storage
-
14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro (2024)
-
16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Pro (2024)
-
14-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max (2024)
-
16-inch MacBook Pro with M4 Max (2024)
-
Mac Studio with M3 Ultra and 512GB RAM (2025)
-
Studio monitor with A13 Bionic technology (2022)
-
Professional Stand for Pro Display XDR (2019)
-
Pro Display XDR VESA Mount Adapter (2019)
In most cases, Apple simply replaces a product with its newer version. iPhone 16e inherits the foundation of 17e. The M3 iPad Air has been replaced by the M4 version, and the M4 MacBook Air model has been replaced by the M5 MacBook Air. Surprisingly, the 512GB MacBook Pro M5, which was released in October 2025 for $1,599, has been discontinued. Instead, the new base model comes with 1TB of internal storage and costs $1,699.
It’s unclear if this is related to the ongoing memory crisis, which is reducing storage and RAM options for many companies. Finally, we have the two oldest devices: the original Studio Display from 2022 and the Pro Display XDR (released in 2019), which have been replaced by the new Studio Display XDR and an updated base version.
What does the end of production mean for your equipment?

Unlike Apple’s older or outdated devices, discontinuation simply means that the company no longer sells these products through official channels. However, they will still be eligible for software updates, fixes, and support for at least five to seven years after their original release date. Apple typically places a device on its vintage list about five years after the company stops selling it. Until then, they’re unlikely to get software updates, and repairs will only be possible if parts are available. So if you own any of these discontinued products, you still have some time before you need to consider upgrading.
