Apple Discontinues iPhone 14 and iPhone SE (2022) but Still Sells Refurbished Units
The removal of the iPhone 14 and iPhone SE (3rd generation) from Apple's website marks a significant shift in the company's product lineup. This move comes as Apple introduces its new iPhone 16E model, which is now its most affordable option. The discontinuation of these older models may signal a larger trend towards a more streamlined product portfolio.
- As consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility, Apple's decision to continue selling refurbished units of discontinued devices could be seen as a step in the right direction for reducing electronic waste.
- How will the rising popularity of refurbished electronics impact the resale market and the profitability of companies like Apple that sell used devices?
