Hello, welcome to the Elsevier Assistant, which is used by 200 million iPhone users.
For a long time, many of apple's releases have been praised by the industry and consumers, such as the AirPods Pro, iPhone 13 Pro and M1 MacBook Pro, which are definitely one of the best products the company has launched in recent years.
However, with the arrival of 2022, some of Apple's old products and failed products that have not been asked about since they were launched have no meaning to exist this year.
Now let's take stock of these products that are about to be eliminated by Apple.
Apple Watch 3 （2017年）
This isn't the first time we've said Apple should stop selling the Apple Watch Series 3. The product is still great for people who already have it, but we would never recommend buying it now or next year, even if the price is relatively cheaper.

The main problem here is that its storage is so small that the Apple Watch Series 3 only has 8GB of free space and doesn't even have enough room for you to update to the latest version unless you're using the 16GB cellular version.
If you're thinking about buying an Apple Watch but don't want to spend more on the new Series 7, the faster and more powerful Apple Watch SE, which comes out in 2020, combines all the benefits of Series 4 and Series 5 at a very affordable price and should be a better fit for you.
iPod Touch (2019)
Once a great product, the iPod Touch has been forgotten, and now it's hard to find even in a more obvious place on Apple's website.
Apple touted the iPod touch product is to "enjoy the fun of music and games", but the iPhone in the user's hand can also do all this, and the screen is larger, the battery life is longer, which is why the iPod touch is doomed to failure.

In fact, I hope Apple can update this now forgotten device with a bigger and brighter display, larger storage capacity, and improved camera. While I think buying just an iPhone or iPad mini is also a good option, there are still people who just want the device to listen to some songs, have some games and apps, and not be disturbed by other information and incoming calls (isn't that what pure entertainment should be?). ）。
Mac mini (2018)
Apple has been in the process of transitioning from Intel to its own Apple Silicon for the past two years, and apple is still selling Mac minis equipped with Intel processors. It sells more expensive than the M1, so there's a reason you shouldn't buy a Mac with Intel right now — Apple will give up Intel sooner or later.

Intel Mac mini features 8th Gen Intel Core i5 processors, 8GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, up to 3.2GHz 6-core 8th Gen Intel Core i7, 64GB of RAM, up to 2TB of SSD storage. Although it can still be a great computer today, it doesn't meet the requirements of its entry-level Mac, as it is nearly double the price of the M1 Mac mini.
Beats Solo3 Wireless （2016年）
Since Apple owns Beats, we can't exclude the Beats Solo3 Wireless headset. Since Apple recently discontinued the Beats Solo Pro, it is very likely that the next step will be Beats Solo3 Wireless.
Despite its up to 40 hours of battery life, the Beats Solo3 Wireless has the inexpensive look of Beats' past products, and the Bluetooth versions and features are too old and the latency is high. Unlike solo Pro, the latter has a better and premium look and detail, as well as excellent sound quality (although it is not at all comfortable to wear).

In our opinion, these are four products that Apple should stop producing, because these products have seriously lagged behind this era and have even been abandoned by Apple itself.
