Key Points:
- Apple has discontinued several older products, including the iPhone 15 Pro/Max, Apple Watch Series 9, and Lightning-based AirPods.
- Third-party retailers are offering deals on these discontinued products, which can be a great opportunity to save money.
- Some of these products, such as the iPhone 15 Pro/Max, are still worth considering due to their support for Apple Intelligence and other features.
In this fast-paced tech world, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the latest and greatest. However, sometimes it’s worth taking a step back to consider the deals on older products that have been discontinued. With Apple’s recent wave of updates and new releases, several older products have been put to rest, leaving room for newer and, in some cases, significantly improved alternatives.
One of the most notable updates is the new iPad mini 6, which features support for Apple Intelligence, compatibility with Apple Pencil Pro, and a fix for the jelly scrolling problem. For those who don’t care about Apple Intelligence, the last generation model is still available for $349 with 64GB of storage.
Another highlight is the discontinuation of the FineWoven iPhone cases, which received a lukewarm reception due to their scratch-prone material. If you’re still interested in the FineWoven case for your iPhone 15, there are deals available on Amazon, including one for the iPhone 15 Pro for only $21.
Moving on to laptops, the M3 MacBook Pro is available at a few retailers, including Best Buy, for as low as $1199. The M2 Mac mini is also available for $499 on Amazon after clipping the on-page coupon. However, it’s worth noting that the outgoing Mac mini model is available for $469 but lacks half the RAM and processing power of the new M4.
Other discontinued products include the M3 iMac, which can be found for $1149 on Amazon after clipping the on-page coupon. In terms of iPhones, the iPhone 15 Pro is no longer available, but refurbished options can be found on Amazon, starting at $719 for a 128GB model.
Finally, there are deals on Lightning Magic Accessories, such as the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad, which are no longer supported by Apple. It’s worth noting that these products are no longer receiving software updates or support, so I wouldn’t recommend purchasing them.
When considering these deals, remember to weigh the pros and cons of each product. With all the excitement around new tech, it’s easy to overlook older products. However, there are often great deals to be found on these discontinued items, which can be a great way to save money or get your hands on a product that still has a lot to offer. So, take a moment to explore these deals and see what’s right for you.
