Yesterday, Apple officially unveiled the iPhone 14 series at its ‘Far Out Event’. The latest iPhones were accompanied by AirPods Pro 2nd Gen, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch Ultra. Unsurprisingly, the American tech giant also announced the discontinuation of select older iPhones.
Just like every year, the incoming Pro models have replaced the outgoing Pro models in Apple’s iPhone lineup. In other words, the company has officially discontinued the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max from 2021.
The iPhone 13 Pro series brought some major upgrades. It introduced features like a 120Hz LTPO display, an improved triple camera system, much better battery life, and more.
Further, the firm discontinues the iPhone 11 from 2019. It was the first base iPhone with a dual-camera setup, 4GB RAM, 18W wired charging support, and more.
Lastly, Apple also discontinues the iPhone 12 Mini from 2020. It was the first Mini iPhone, one of the first 5G iPhones, and the most affordable iPhone with an OLED display at the launch.
Therefore, the current Apple iPhone family looks something like this.
- iPhone SE 3rd Gen (2022)
- iPhone 12
- iPhone 13 Mini
- iPhone 13
- iPhone 14
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro
- iPhone 14 Pro Max
Anyway, it is worth noting that though Apple has officially stopped selling the aforementioned older iPhone models, they will be still available for purchase from retailers around the world while stocks last.
Last but not least, with the discontinuation of the iPhone 11, Apple now only sells 5G-enabled smartphones.
