As 2023 comes to an end, now is the time to look back at some of the devices and accessories that Apple discontinued during the year. Apple products that will be discontinued in 2023 include iPhone 13 mini, 13-inch MacBook Pro, MagSafe battery, MagSafe Duo charger and leather accessories.

iPhone mini

Apple stopped production of the iPhone 13 mini in September following the launch of the iPhone 15 series, marking the end of the iPhone mini altogether, but the updated iPhone 12 mini remains available on Apple’s online store in the US.

iPhone mini, which has a 5.4-inch screen with thin bezels, was the favorite of small smartphone fans, but research firms stated that the sales of the model were low compared to other iPhone models. Last year, Apple decided not to launch the iPhone 14 mini but kept the iPhone 13 mini available as a cheaper option.

The smallest iPhone Apple sells brand new is currently the iPhone SE, which has a 4.7-inch display, but it has a fairly dated design with a home button and thicker bezels, and the next iPhone SE is expected to have a larger 6.1-inch display It is said that it will happen.

13 inch MacBook Pro

Last week, Apple finally discontinued the 13-inch MacBook Pro following its “Scary Fast” event. The laptop was designed seven years ago and was the last Mac to feature a touchpad instead of physical function keys.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro was replaced by the new entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with the standard M3 chip, but the former started at $1,299 and the latter at $1,599. The 14-inch model offers a few upgrades over the 13-inch model, such as an M3 chip, a 120Hz ProMotion display, a 1080p camera, and more ports.

MagSafe battery

Apple discontinued the MagSafe battery pack in September following the launch of the iPhone 15 series. The “MagSafe Battery Pack,” released in 2021, costs $99 and magnetically attaches to the back of the iPhone 12 and newer, providing hours of battery life. While all iPhone 15 models now have a USB-C port, the battery pack has a Lightning charging port, making it obsolete now.

MagSafe Duo charger

Apple discontinued the MagSafe Duo charger in September following the launch of the iPhone 15 series. Launched in 2020, the MagSafe Duo Charger was a $129 folding charging mat that came with a MagSafe iPhone charger and Apple Watch magnetic charging pad. Like the MagSafe battery, it also had a Lightning charging port.

leather accessories

In September, Apple stopped selling leather accessories, including leather versions of iPhone cases, the MagSafe Wallet, Apple Watch straps and more, as part of the company’s environmental responsibility efforts. Apple has introduced its new FineWoven fabric material for accessories, which it says has a “significantly lower” carbon footprint than leather, but customers have complained that the new iPhone cases are prone to scratches and smudges.
