Apple prepares to kill a series of iPhones

Discontinuing some iPhone models is a traditional activity of Apple when preparing to launch new products. It is expected that in order for the iPhone 16 to sell smoothly, the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 13 products will be discontinued.

Previously, last year after introducing the iPhone 15 series, the company discontinued the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max as well as discontinuing the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max in 2022.

However, even if the company stops production, the highest-end iPhone 15 models will still be sold by third parties instead of being sold at Apple's official stores and websites. Moreover, these are all smartphones equipped with Apple Intelligence features, so they will still be sought after by users.

In addition to the iPhone, Apple also announced the death of some smartwatches such as the Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch SE 2. The reason given is that the company will introduce some new wearable devices such as the new iPhone SE, so its predecessors are forced to stop selling.
