Apple's gadgets that are being phased out were introduced in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Apple will also abandon several earlier iPad models, including the iPad mini 4, iPad Air 3, iPad (fifth-generation), and the 2015 iPad pro models, according to the French website. Apple introduces fresh new features and fixes issues in every software update to improve the user's experience.

The new iOS versions also include security enhancements that guard against device hacking. Only a few weeks ago, the business released a new iOS 15 version, and it is currently preparing to release the iOS 16 update.
