Which iPhone models may face discontinuation?
The iPhone 12, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 14 Pro, and Pro Max are some of the models that are expected to be discontinued after the iPhone 15 series launch. Apple rarely keeps any iPhone for more than three years, and the iPhone 12, which was launched in 2020, is more likely to face the axe.
Apart from the iPhone 12, the Pro models like iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may also be on the discontinuation radar as Apple usually discontinues its Pro models after a year of sales. However, despite rumors that this year’s Pros will be the company’s bestsellers, the trend is likely to persist.
The iPhone 13 mini may also face discontinuation, as mini iPhones have not been very popular over the years. The iPhone 12 mini was discontinued just two years after its launch, and it is expected that the iPhone 13 mini will be removed from the product line-up.

Discontinuation of iPhones simply means that Apple will not make them available for purchase on its website. However, you can still find them on several online retailers and e-commerce websites until the stock exists, and that too at very cheap rates.
