Apple’s September showcase is here, and all signs point to a packed “Awe Dropping” event with four new iPhones and fresh accessories. As usual, a big reveal also means a quiet reshuffle of what Apple keeps in its online store. Here’s what’s expected to bow out as the next generation arrives.
What’s likely leaving Apple’s store
– iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max: Apple typically retires last year’s Pro models once the new Pro lineup lands. Expect these to make way for the next-generation Pro devices.
– iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus: With the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus sticking around at lower prices, the iPhone 15 pair is poised to exit. The upside? This streamlines the lineup so every current model supports Apple Intelligence.
– Apple Watch SE (2nd gen): Now three years old, the SE 2 is likely to be replaced by a third-generation Watch SE with upgraded internals.
– Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch Series 10: Apple generally phases out older Watch versions when new ones arrive, and this year should follow the same pattern.
What to expect from the event
– A new family of iPhones, with the spotlight on the next-gen models.
– A simplified iPhone range afterward, making it easier to choose and ensuring wider Apple Intelligence support.
– A refreshed Apple Watch lineup, including a new SE and updated flagship watches.
How to watch

Bottom line
If you’ve been eyeing an older Pro iPhone or specific Apple Watch model, now’s the time to decide. Once the new lineup drops, Apple’s store will likely refocus on the latest iPhones and the streamlined Watch family. Check back after the event for the full breakdown of what’s new—and what’s gone.
