Apple just axed THESE popular devices! Here’s what you need to know
Apple has discontinued some of its most popular products from its lineup, in the hopes that customers will now be drawn to their latest launches. With the launch of the iPhone 16e and the new M4-powered MacBook Air, Apple has axed the M2 and M3-powered MacBook Air and the wildly successful iPhone SE and the iPhone 14, 14 Plus.

Apple’s latest launch brings new devices… but some older favourites just got the axe! Here’s what’s gone.

Apple’s latest launch event brought some exciting new gadgets, but it also meant saying goodbye to a few beloved devices. While the iPhone 16e and MacBook Air M4 are now the talk of the town, Apple quietly pulled the plug on several older models.

If you were planning to grab one of these soon-to-be rare finds, here’s what you need to know before they disappear from shelves. Let’s break down the Apple devices that just got axed and why this matters.

Say goodbye to the MacBook Air M2 & M3

Apple has officially retired the MacBook Air M2 and M3, making room for the latest MacBook Air M4. These models were available up until the launch of the new M4 version, but now, they’re no longer listed on Apple’s website.

The MacBook Air M2, which arrived in 2022, and its successor, the M3, launched in 2024, were fan favourites for their balance of power and portability.

But Apple’s move to discontinue them suggests it wants all eyes (and wallets) on the M4. If you’re still keen on getting one, you might find remaining stock on Amazon or Flipkart — but don’t wait too long!

iPhone SE, iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Plus are gone

In the wake of the iPhone 16e’s arrival, Apple has quietly removed three iPhones from its official lineup — the iPhone SE, iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Plus. This shake-up leaves the iPhone 16e as the most budget-friendly option in Apple’s current roster.

While the iPhone SE was known for its compact size and affordability, the iPhone 14 series offered a more premium experience at a lower cost than the Pro models. Now that they’re gone, your options for a more affordable iPhone are shrinking, unless you grab one before they vanish from third-party retailers.

Why does Apple do this (and what it means for you)

Apple’s discontinuation strategy isn’t just about clearing out old models—it’s about driving sales for new ones. By cutting off previous-gen devices, Apple ensures that more users gravitate towards its latest offerings.

For consumers, this means fewer official options at lower price points, but it could also be a chance to grab discounted units from third-party sellers before stock runs out. If you love a particular discontinued model, now’s the time to hunt for deals!
