Key Points:
- Apple launched a wide range of new hardware in March, including the iPhone 17e, multiple M4 and M5 iPads and MacBook Airs, new MacBook Pro models, Apple Studio Displays, MacBook Neo, and AirPods Max 2, alongside new accessories and a Beats-Nike collaboration.
- The company discontinued several previous-generation products, mainly to replace them with the new models, including older iPhones, iPads, MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros, the 2022 Apple Studio Display, and AirPods Max (USB-C).
- Apple fully discontinued two entire product lines: the Pro Display XDR, a 32-inch 6K monitor, replaced by the smaller 27-inch 5K Studio Display XDR, and the Mac Pro desktop line, which was retired in favor of the Mac Studio models with M3 Ultra and M4 Max chips.
- The highest RAM configuration for the Mac Studio was also discontinued, likely due to global memory shortages driven by AI server demand, limiting availability of the previously highlighted 512GB RAM option.
- Despite speculation about a successor, the A16 iPad remained available, signaling Apple’s decision to keep it in the lineup for now.
