Apple’s 2026 autumn conference will be held in the early morning of tomorrow (10th) and is expected to bring new products such as the iPhone 18 Pro series and the first foldable iPhone. With the debut of new phones, Apple’s official website may simultaneously remove 4 old models from the shelves. If Apple fans want to go back and buy previous-generation models, they can only go to the channel to find them in stock.
iPhone 17 Pro series estimated to be removed from shelves
According to Apple’s past practice, after the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro series, most of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will be taken off the official website directly. However, Apple has begun to tighten the supply of the iPhone 17 Pro series in recent months, and the current channel stock is also obviously tight, especially the capacity above 512GB is more limited. In other words, if you want to go back and pick up the previous generation after the new phone comes out, the capacity and colors are no longer available, so you can only “buy what you can get”. If it is too late, there will be fewer choices.
In addition, it is rumored that only the iPhone 18 Pro series and folding iPhone will be launched at the early morning conference tomorrow. The standard iPhone 18 will be postponed to the spring of 2027 and will be unveiled together with the iPhone Air 2 and iPhone 18e. Therefore, the standard version of iPhone 17 and iPhone Air are expected to continue to be sold. However, due to the rising cost of components such as memory, it is not ruled out that Apple will also increase the prices of existing models while raising the prices of the iPhone 18 Pro series.
The iPhone 16 series may also be completely eliminated
As for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, although foreign media have previously pointed out that there are still variables whether the two models will be removed from the shelves at the same time, it is understood that the iPhone 16 series is actually almost completely out of stock in the channel. Therefore, it is estimated that Apple’s official website may also officially remove the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus in the early morning of tomorrow, allowing the standard version of the iPhone 17 to fully take over.
