The iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Mini, and iPhone 11 are among the oldest iPhone models that Apple has discontinued. In order to prevent the phones in its portfolio from duplicating each other, Apple typically stops making its older iPhones when the new generation is released.
These iPhones have been taken down from India’s and the rest of the world’s Apple e-stores(opens in new tab). And after the existing stockpiles are depleted, they will gradually disappear from other retail outlets. These phones are still available for purchase from shops as well as online sellers like Amazon, Flipkart, and Croma. Due to the fact that these phones are no longer being manufactured, you can anticipate significant price reductions during the next Amazon Great Indian Festival and Flipkart Big Billion Days sales.
Here is the updated Apple iPhone range following the iphone-14-pro-max
These are the phones getting discontinued
Apple iPhone 11
Due to price reductions over time, the Apple iPhone 11 was a particularly popular choice among Indian consumers. The phone won’t be available from shops, so if you want to purchase an iPhone 11 and find a good bargain on it during the next discounts, don’t think twice; just do it. The phone might not be available for purchase on Flipkart or Amazon in the upcoming months.
Apple iPhone 12 mini
The mini-series of the iPhone were retired with the release of the iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 13 mini is the sole device in the company’s range that belongs to the mini-series after the iPhone 12 small was discontinued.
Apple iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro
There are little differences between the Apple iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are powered by the same Apple A15 Bionic chipsets as the iPhone 13 series. And should these two phones exist, they should receive a price reduction, which might put the sales of the more recent phones in danger.
Apple Watch Series 3
Along with the new Apple Watch SE, Apple has also discontinued the Apple Watch Series 3. Since it has been available since 2017, and the new Apple Watch SE directly competes with it, the demise of this watch has been long overdue.
Why are these goods being withdrawn from the market?
Apple frequently does business by discontinuing phone models. After releasing a new iPhone, Apple refreshes the models that are currently on the market. To prevent older phones from affecting sales of newer devices, it would entail eliminating previous models.
Apple has made the choice to force you to purchase the more expensive versions as opposed to an earlier model that is less expensive.
For instance, which model would you choose if you could choose between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 13 Pro and paid the same amount? Over the iPhone 14, I’d always go with the iPhone 13 Pro. However, you are unable to do so at the moment because Apple has removed our option.
