Apple's September Event 2024: Devices Likely to Be Discontinued and What It Means for You

By Shakir Bukhari

 

Apple's annual September event is just around the corner, and it promises exciting new product launches, including the latest iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods. However, as Apple introduces its new lineup, some familiar products will likely be discontinued to accommodate the latest innovations. Here’s a breakdown of the devices that might be phased out and what this means for consumers.




iPhones on the Chopping Block

  1. iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max: Historically, Apple retires its flagship models after just one year. With the iPhone 16 expected to debut, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max may soon be discontinued.

  2. iPhone 14 Plus: Following in the footsteps of the discontinued mini-series, the iPhone 14 Plus might also be on its way out as Apple shifts its focus to newer models.

  3. iPhone 13: Approaching its third anniversary, the iPhone 13 is another model likely to be replaced by the iPhone 14, possibly at a lower price point.

Apple Watch Updates

  1. Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2: With new versions of these Apple Watches anticipated, the current models might be discontinued. The new lineup is expected to bring enhanced health and fitness tracking features.

AirPods Upgrades

  1. AirPods 2 & 3: With the launch of the AirPods 4, which might include noise cancellation even in entry-level models, the older AirPods 2 and 3 are likely to be phased out.

Potential iPad Departures

  1. iPad mini 6 & iPad 10: The iPad mini 6, released in 2021, might be discontinued, while the iPad 10 could see a price drop or a potential refresh.



What This Means for You

If you've been considering purchasing any of these devices, you might want to hold off until after the September event. The introduction of new models typically leads to discounts on the outgoing models, offering a chance to snag a deal or invest in the latest technology.




A Word of Caution

While these predictions are based on trends and rumours, it’s important to note that Apple sometimes keeps certain models available at reduced prices. Staying informed about the official announcements on September 10th will help you make the best decision, whether you're looking to buy or upgrade.

YouTube is facing a wave of backlash after it was revealed that the platform has been   secretly applying AI-driven enhancements to Shorts videos without creators’ consent .

ChatGPT’s New Unified View: Voice, Live Transcripts & Maps — Speak, See, and Scan in One Chat

  OpenAI has reshaped how we talk to AI: ChatGPT now blends voice, live transcripts, and visual outputs (like maps and images) directly inside the regular chat window. That means you can speak naturally, watch a running transcript appear, and see interactive visuals, all inside the same conversation thread. This update cuts friction, boosts accessibility, and moves ChatGPT closer to a true multimodal assistant. Why this matters This change removes the old “voice-only” silo where audio lived on a separate screen. Now, voice input and audio responses live alongside the chat history and any visuals the model produces, so follow-ups, maps, and previous context are always visible while you talk. For practical tasks (directions, travel planning, hands-free research), that continuity is a big usability win. Compatibility & availability Platforms: The integrated voice experience is rolling out across mobile (iOS and Android) and the web. Rollout timing: The update began rolling out in ...
