Last Updated on September 15, 2021 by Asif Iqbal Shaik

At the ‘California Streaming’ event last night, Apple unveiled a slew of devices including the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 7, iPad Mini (2021), and iPad 10.2 (2021). With the introduction of these gadgets, the Cupertino-based company has decided to retire some of the older devices from its product portfolio. Just to clear things up, Apple will no longer manufacture these devices, but you may still be able to purchase the existing stock from retailers. We had exclusively reported a few days ago that Apple will discontinue the iPhone 12 Pro series smartphones and drop the price of the iPhone 11 in India.

List Of Apple Products Discontinued In 2021 After September 2021 iPhone 13 Launch Event

• Apple iPhone XR
• Apple iPhone 11 Pro
• Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max
• Apple iPhone 12 Mini
• Apple iPhone 12 Pro
• Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max
• Apple iPad 10.2 (2020)
• Apple iPad Mini (2019)

The first phone to be phased out by Apple is the iPhone XR. The handset has been quite popular due to its competitive price tag. It is currently available for ₹47,900 on some e-commerce websites. However, we are not sure how long will that last.

2019’s flagship duo, the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max have also been discontinued by the US-based company. Surprisingly, the iPhone 11 continues to be on Apple’s roster. Its starting price has come down to ₹49,990 on the official website. This makes it a good replacement for the iPhone XR. Moreover, the iPhone 11 comes with an upgraded OLED screen as opposed to the LCD panel on the iPhone XR.

Moreover, Apple has dropped the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max from its smartphone line-up. The iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 are still available at starting prices of ₹59,900 and ₹65,900, respectively. However, the iPhone 12 Mini will soon go out of stock.

Moving onto tablets, the iPad Mini (2019) and iPad 10.2 (2020) have made way for the latest 2021 models. The iPad Mini (2021) price in India starts at ₹46,900 for the Wi-Fi-only model. The Wi-Fi + Cellular variant comes with a starting price of ₹60,900. The iPad 10.2 (2021) Wi-Fi-only model has a starting price of ₹30,900. The price of the Wi-Fi + Cellular model starts at ₹42,900. Since the Apple Watch Series 7 is set to launch later this year, Apple will continue to sell the Watch Series 6 for now.
