Older models phased out as Apple updates its lineup with the latest iPhones and Apple Watch Series.
Apple has officially discontinued several older iPhone and Apple Watch models following the debut of its iPhone 16 series and Apple Watch Series 10. Among the devices no longer available on Apple’s official website are the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 13, and the Apple Watch Series 9.
These models, introduced between 2020 and 2023, are now only available through third-party retailers or as refurbished units. Apple’s decision to phase out these products is part of its strategy to streamline its lineup and promote the latest technology.
As of now, the iPhone models available for purchase through Apple’s official channels in India include:
- iPhone SE (2022): Starting at Rs 47,600
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus: Starting at Rs 59,990 and Rs 69,990, respectively
- iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus: Starting at Rs 69,990 and Rs 79,990, respectively
- iPhone 16 series: Pre-orders begin September 13
On the wearables side, the Apple Watch Series 10 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 are now available for pre-order. Sales are set to begin on September 20, with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 starting at ₹89,900 and the Series 10 starting at ₹46,900. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch SE remains in the lineup, priced from ₹24,900.
Apple’s practice of discontinuing older devices with each new product launch helps streamline its offerings and encourages consumers to adopt the latest technology.
