Apple has refreshed its product range following the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro series, new Apple Watch models and the AirPods 5. As part of the change, several previous-generation devices have been taken off the company's online store.
The list includes the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 3, Apple Watch SE 2 and AirPods 4. Their removal from Apple's website, however, does not mean they have completely disappeared from the market. Retailers with remaining inventory can still sell these products.

iPhone 17 Pro And iPhone 17 Pro Max Removed
Apple's iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have made way for the newer iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. With the new generation now occupying the top end of the iPhone range, the older Pro models are no longer available directly from Apple's online store.
In India, the iPhone 18 Pro is priced from ₹1,64,900 for the 256GB version, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max starts at ₹1,79,900. Both models are available with up to 2TB of storage and come in Black, Burgundy, Glacier and Silver.
Apple will begin taking pre-orders for the new Pro models on September 12, with sales starting September 18.
The new generation brings several hardware changes, including the A20 Pro chipset, iOS 27 and Apple's C2 modem. The camera setup has also been updated, with a 48-megapixel main camera featuring variable aperture. The Dynamic Island has received an update as well.
The iPhone 17 Pro models could still be worth considering for buyers who find them at a lower price. Since Apple's own store is no longer selling them, availability will depend on remaining stock at other retailers.
Apple Also Clears Out Older Watches
The same transition has happened with Apple's smartwatch range. The Apple Watch Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 have been removed from the company's store after the launch of the Series 12 and Ultra 4.
The Apple Watch Series 12 starts at ₹56,900 in India, whereas the Watch Ultra 4 is priced from ₹1,09,900. The newer Series 12 introduces a new health sensing system, higher-frequency heart rate and HRV tracking, along with a Readiness Score. The Ultra 4 now takes over as Apple's highest-end smartwatch.
The Watch SE lineup has also received a new generation. Apple has stopped listing the Watch SE 2 following the arrival of the Watch SE 3, which starts at ₹29,900. The newer model is available in 40mm and 44mm aluminium case sizes.
Among its upgrades are an always-on Retina display and the S10 chip. The Watch SE 3 also adds wrist temperature sensing, sleep tracking, sleep apnea notifications and improved cycle tracking.
As with the older iPhones, the discontinued Apple Watch models may remain available through other sellers until their existing stocks are sold.
AirPods 4 No Longer Part Of Apple's Current Lineup
The AirPods 4 have also been removed from Apple's online store following the launch of the AirPods 5.

Apple's new earbuds start at ₹14,900 in India, while the variant with a wireless charging case costs ₹17,900. The company claims that the latest model delivers 1.5 times better Active Noise Cancellation compared with the previous AirPods 4 version that offered ANC.
The AirPods 5 also bring features such as Live Translation and Siri AI support.
For now, the AirPods 4 are in a similar situation to the older iPhones and Apple Watch models. They are no longer sold directly through Apple's current online lineup, but remaining units can still show up at third-party retailers until their stock runs out.
