According to phoneArena reported that Apple last year after the launch of the iPhone 13 series discontinued the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone XR, LeaksApplePro A new report said that Apple may stop production after the release of the iPhone 14 series in September iPhone 11.
Apple discontinued the iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus in 2020, and is now considering phasing out the remaining iPhone 11 phones.
Apple has yet to conclusively decide on this decision, and it will largely depend on the iPhone SE 3 5G phone. The iPhone SE 2022 came out last month, and while it comes with a new A15 Bionic chip and offers 5G connectivity, it’s proven less attractive due to its vintage design. The phone starts at $429, and Apple doesn’t want its sales to be cannibalized by one of the older models.
iDrop News said that after the launch of the iPhone SE 3, the demand for the iPhone 11 has risen, possibly because people would rather spend an extra $70 on a phone that looks better, has two cameras and a fairly fast chip, rather than buying the iPhone SE 3, which now supports a 5G network that doesn’t just need it.
The iPhone 12, starting at $699, may not be discontinued because it has performed well so far and is said to be cheaper to manufacture. The Cupertino giant could cut the price to $599 after the release of the iPhone 14 series. It’s unclear if the iPhone 12 mini will continue to exist. The report also said the iPhone 13 will continue to sell.
The iPhone 14 series could be released in September this year, considering that the Pro model will eventually ditch the lack of notched screens for a more modern design, and will also get new camera hardware, which may make them more popular than the current iPhone 13 Pro series.
