Historically everything from Fall and Winter gets discontinued when the Spring colors launch (with the exception of mainstay colors like Black). Last year was different though, with Apple keeping the Fall 2019 colors around for the whole year. There has been some speculation that may have been because Apple had tons of retail stock they couldn’t sell due to the COVID shutdowns and so they kept the Fall colors around online to clear out inventory. But, nobody really knows for sure.With regard to the March event I am getting anxious as to which bands/sport/solo loops are going to be discontinued as I still have a few of the braided/solo loops I want to get 😬
In the past, Winter and Summer releases have been small (around 3-6 new bands) and are usually an addition to the previous season’s lineup. The Fall and Spring releases tend to be much larger and usually completely replace the bands that had been available the day before.
