Apple has discontinued several iPad and Mac models following the launch of the MacBook Air (2025), iPad Air (2025), and other M4 SoC-powered products last week. Popular models such as the MacBook Air (2024), iPad Air (2024), and the 10th generation iPad (2022) have been phased out to make room for the newer models. The Cupertino-based company also appears to have removed the Mac Studio (M2 Max, 2023) and (M2 Ultra, 2023) from its website following the launch of the new model which can be purchased with an M4 Max or the newly launched M3 Ultra SoCs.
