status, although it&#8217;s not always as bad as it might sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Discontinued usually just means that the item is no longer available for purchase, whereas the most severe &#8216;unsupported&#8217; or &#8216;obsolete&#8217; status is often linked to the removal of software update support and Apple&#8217;s refusal to repair any broken items.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It does mean that you&#8217;ll have to head to the secondhand market if you&#8217;ve had your eyes on one of these gadgets though, as Apple will no longer offer them new through official storefronts going forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Here are all of the products that have now been officially discontinued by Apple:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list_list__njBdr\">\n<li>iPhone 16e<\/li>\n<li>iPad Air M3 (11-inch)<\/li>\n<li>iPad Air M3 (13-inch)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Air M4 (13-inch)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Air M4 (15-inch)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Pro M5 (13-inch, 512GB)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Pro M4 Pro (14-inch)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Pro M4 Pro (16-inch)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uniladtech.com\/apple\/apple-quietly-discontinues-15-devices-two-years-old-961601-20260312\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple quietly discontinues 15 devices and some are only two years old https:\/\/www.uniladtech.com\/apple\/apple-quietly-discontinues-15-devices-two-years-old-961601-20260312 Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":223074,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/resizer.ladbiblegroup.com\/ogimage\/v3\/assets\/bltb5d92757ac1ee045\/blt8a534a86a8f8e85c\/69b3cade58d407a17e9d2a78\/apple_products_discontinued_2026.png?crop=1200,675,x0,y0","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[50,51],"class_list":["post-223073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-macintosh","tag-macbook-air","tag-macbook-pro"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223073"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223073"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":223075,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223073\/revisions\/223075"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
