Whenever Apple releases a new model of its smartphone, it also adjusts its availability table to offer the latest models and discontinue sales of older versions. Apple has been consistently offering at least five purchasing options in recent years, and it is expected that the company will continue this strategy with the arrival of the iPhone 15 in 2023.
In this article, we will speculate on which devices Apple should keep in its catalog this year based on its past practices.
As the release of the new iPhone 15 models approaches in September, Apple is likely to discontinue the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max production due to poor sales performance. Additionally, we anticipate the discontinuation of the iPhone 13 Mini, while the iPhone 12 released in 2020 is also expected to be phased out.
However, Apple should maintain the availability of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, as well as the iPhone 13 and the iPhone SE (2022), at reduced prices. At this point, it is unclear how the company will adjust pricing for these models.

In September, Apple is set to release the iPhone 15 series, which is expected to change the company’s smartphones significantly. This will include a sleeker design with rounded corners, Dynamic Island, and a USB-C port on all models. In addition, the premium duo will have a titanium finish and a more efficient A17 Bionic processor. Here is everything to expect from the upcoming iPhone 15 line.
It is important to note that Apple will continue to provide hardware support and major iOS updates for discontinued products. You can learn more about how long Apple has supported iPhones and which products are vintage, obsolete, or discontinued.
