A full list of iPhones that Apple could discontinue post-iPhone 15 series launch

As the launch of the new iPhone series nears, a new report by Tom's Guide suggests the discontinuation of certain iPhone models. Before we learn what those phones are, note the expected newcomers are iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or Ultra).

Apple currently officially sells the iPhone 14 series, iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12, and iPhone SE (2022). If we look back at the strategy around the iPhone 14 series launch, the company scrapped the Pro models of its predecessor to induce higher sales for the new models. 

Similarly, iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 mini were also removed from the line-up within 2 years once the new series was launched. 

Going by this trend, iPhone 13 could be the best option under the mid-range category.

Taking this into consideration, we can analyze that Apple might ditch iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 12, and iPhone 13 mini post the iPhone 15 launch. 

The report also suggests the same leaving us with iPhone 13, iPhone SE (2022), iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Plus. While the ones that will remain intact in the line-up might see a price cut of approximately $100 or about Rs.10,000 in India.
