Apple kicked off 2025 with a bang, launching new iPhone and MacBook models. However, this also marked the end of the road for several older devices. The iPhone 14, MacBook Air M3, and other popular products are no longer available for purchase. Apple has updated its product lineup, discontinuing several devices permanently. Let's explore which devices are no longer available on the market.
MacBook Air M2 and MacBook Air M3 Discontinued
Following the recent launch of the new MacBook Air with the M4 chipset, Apple has discontinued the MacBook Air M2 and MacBook Air M3.
• Apple has removed these devices from its official website.
• However, remaining stock may be available for sale at retail stores for a limited time.
• Customers now only have the option of purchasing the MacBook Air M4.
Three iPhone Models Also Discontinued
With the launch of the iPhone 16e, touted as Apple's most affordable iPhone yet, the company has removed three other iPhone models from the market.
• iPhone SE
• iPhone 14
• iPhone 14 Plus
The iPhone 16e is now Apple's cheapest iPhone offering.
Lightning Port Completely Removed from iPhones
Apple adopted the USB-C port with the iPhone 15 series and is now using it across its entire iPhone lineup.
• The iPhone SE 3 was Apple's last iPhone to feature a Lightning port.
• Apple no longer uses the Lightning port in any of its new iPhones.
• This change was driven by the mandatory adoption of USB-C ports in several countries, including the European Union.
Home Button Removed from All iPhones
With the launch of the iPhone 16e, Apple has also completely removed the home button.
• No new Apple iPhones will feature a physical home button.
• The iPhone SE 3 was the last Apple device to include a home button.
• This marks the end of an era for Apple, after first introducing the home button with the original iPhone in 2007.

These Apple Devices Are No Longer Available
Apple upgrades its product lineup annually, discontinuing older devices. This year, the iPhone 14, MacBook Air M3, iPhone SE, and features like the Lightning port and home button have become things of the past.
It remains to be seen what other significant changes Apple will make to its new devices and what decision the company will make regarding its foldable iPhone.
