About this tag
The product lineup simplification tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about companies reducing the number of product variants or SKUs they offer. Recent content focuses on Apple's 2025 discontinuations, where the company removed roughly two dozen products, including the iPhone SE line and several MacBook Air M3 variants, to streamline its offerings toward newer technologies like Face ID, OLED, USB-C, and newer chips.

Topics may include SKU rationalization, model retirements, and the strategic shift to fewer, more focused product lines.
