# Upcoming Adjustments in Apple’s Product Range: Expectations for the September Event
With the annual iPhone event on the horizon, slated for **September 10th**, anticipation is growing for the reveal of the **iPhone 16**, fresh **AirPods**, updated **Apple Watch** versions, and possibly additional surprises. Alongside these new offerings, Apple is expected to retire several older models. Here’s a deeper examination of which products might soon be retired.
## iPhone 15 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro Max
Historically, Apple tends to phase out flagship iPhones a year post-launch. Following this pattern, the **iPhone 15 Pro** and **iPhone 15 Pro Max**, which pioneered titanium in the iPhone range, are likely to see their discontinuation. This will signify the end of the 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch Pro models, as the forthcoming iPhone 16 series is anticipated to boast larger displays. Additionally, the distinct Blue Titanium hue of the iPhone 15 Pro may not transition to the next iteration.
## iPhone 14 Plus
The **iPhone 14 Plus** marked Apple’s initial foray into the entry-level large iPhone segment, aimed at users desiring a bigger display without the premium cost of Pro variants. Following the last year’s discontinuation of the **iPhone 13 mini**, it’s reasonable to expect the iPhone 14 Plus will also be retired, while the regular **iPhone 14** stays available for a more extended period.
## iPhone 13
Launched in 2021, the **iPhone 13** has undergone multiple price reductions and currently stands as the longest-serving iPhone model featured on Apple’s site. As the release of the iPhone 16 draws near, it’s likely that the iPhone 13 will be phased out, making way for the iPhone 14 to take its position at the $599 price tier.
## Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2
Expected enhancements to the **Apple Watch** lineup encompass the **Series 10**, which is likely to present larger, more efficient displays, a slimmer design, and potentially a new chipset. With new models on the horizon, it’s probable that Apple will discontinue the existing **Series 9**, **Ultra 2**, and **SE 2** versions.
## AirPods 2 and AirPods 3
The **AirPods 2**, in circulation since 2019, along with the **AirPods 3**, introduced in 2021, may soon see replacements in the form of new models. Apple is projected to unveil two new types of **AirPods 4**: a budget-friendly version to succeed the AirPods 2 and a mid-tier variant to replace the AirPods 3, likely equipped with noise cancellation features. Consequently, both the AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 may be discontinued.
## iPad Mini 6 and iPad 10
Speculation hints at a refresh for Apple’s budget-friendly iPads, including the **iPad Mini 6** and **iPad 10**. Although the iPad 10 recently experienced a price cut, it remains uncertain whether it will continue to be offered post-launch of the new models. Traditionally, Apple has not maintained older iPad units, implying that the iPad Mini 6 may also be retired in favor of a new model with improved features.
## Conclusion
If you’re contemplating the purchase of any of these Apple devices, it may be prudent to wait until after the September event. With several models likely to be discontinued, now is the ideal moment to assess your choices and get ready for the thrilling new releases Apple has planned. As always, Apple is committed to innovation and refreshing its product lineup, ensuring that consumers can access the latest technology.
