Following the widely anticipated release of the iPhone 16 series on September 9, 2024, Apple has officially retired the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 models, marking a dramatic shift in its product lineup.

Three of Apple’s most popular and distinctive smartphones will no longer be produced as a result of this decision, as the company unveils its next-generation gadgets and raises the bar for mobile technology.

These models gained recognition for their cutting-edge features, such as the A17 Pro chip and a sophisticated camera system, even though they were only around for a short time. This action is a component of Apple’s strategy to zero in on the future, particularly in light of the release of the iPhone 16.

Due to its balance of performance, battery life, and camera quality at a comparatively cheaper price point than the Pro models, the iPhone 13, which was released in 2021, was an enormous hit. It proved popular among regular users who wanted to improve without going over budget.

Even after the iPhone 14 series was introduced, the iPhone 13 was still accessible via Apple’s official channels. However, it’s evident that the business now wishes to reduce the variety of products it offers and encourage customers to use the newest technologies. The iPhone 16 series has a lot to offer, especially the entry-level devices. Its enhanced processing capacity, increased battery life, and fresh design cues establish it as the obvious successor to the iPhone 13.

Apple decided to stop making these models in accordance with their standard product lifecycle plan. Every year, Apple improves its selection of smartphones by removing older models to make room for the latest releases. Even though they are still very good phones by today’s standards, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13 have been superseded by the iPhone 16 range, which features better hardware and software.

Apple also hopes to cut expenses associated with production, simplify its product lineup for customers, and optimise its supply chain by eliminating older devices. Additionally, the business intends to persuade people to upgrade with the debut of the iPhone 16 series by stressing the sustainability of recycling old devices and providing trade-in possibilities.

You might be wondering what the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max’s discontinuation means for customers. It only indicates that they can no longer be found on the Apple website or in physical Apple stores. These models might still be offered by independent merchants, though, and some customers might decide to pay less for them.

For a few years, Apple will keep providing software updates for these devices. This action guarantees that current users won’t fall behind. But the discontinuance makes it quite evident that Apple is fully committed to the future, which the iPhone 16 series represents.

With upgraded hardware, such as a more potent and efficient A18 Bionic chip, improved camera systems, and—for the first time—under-display Face ID technology, the iPhone 16 Pro models now replace their predecessors. Apple’s decision to retire the earlier variants of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max is further justified by these advancements, which place the devices as the most innovative smartphones today.
