Companies often stop selling older models when newer versions arrive.
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are especially likely to be replaced.
Apple may keep the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus available for longer.
Reports say newer base iPhones could be delayed until early 2027.
Keeping older phones could give shoppers less expensive choices.
Apple has not confirmed which products will be discontinued.
The final decision should become clear after the September event.
Apple could discontinue 11 products after its September 9, 2026 event, according to 9to5Mac.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are considered likely to leave Apple’s lineup after newer models launch.
