Apple has officially stopped production of these three iPhones

Apple unveiled four new iPhones this week at the company's “It's Glowtime” event. Shortly afterward, as is customary after announcing a new iPhone, Apple discontinued several older iPhones.

On Monday, Apple announced the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max – joining the existing lineup that includes the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and the third-generation iPhone SE. To make room for the latest iPhones, Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 13, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The discontinued iPhone models will still be available from third-party retailers for a while. In some cases, they may be sold at significant discounts. Even though Apple no longer offers these phones for purchase, they will still receive iOS and security updates for a long time. For example, Apple's upcoming iOS 18 update will support iPhones from 2018 models onwards, including the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR.

Before buying an older phone, it is important to note that Apple Intelligence is only supported on the iPhone 16 series and the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It does not work on other older iPhone models. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max also have larger displays.

The iPhone 16 series will go on sale starting this Friday, September 13, with the first orders shipping a week later on September 20. These phones offer several new features, including brand new chips, a new camera control feature, new colors, and more. All four models also feature camera improvements.

In addition to the new iPhones, Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 10 and AirPods 4, as well as slight improvements to the Apple Ultra 2, AirPods Max and AirPods Pro 2.
