List of discontinued Apple iPhones
With the launch of the iPhone 16e, Apple officially discontinued three smartphone models: the iPhone SE 3 (2022), iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Plus. Alongside iPhones, Apple also said farewell to some features, such as the Home button, Touch ID, LCD screen, and sub-6-inch screen, as these were quite old practices that users in the premium segments did not opt for. Therefore, now the Apple lineup includes the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 16 series. However, keep in mind that Apple could also discontinue the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus during the new iPhone 17 series launch. This could occur due to the hardware limitations for Apple Intelligence and two-generations old A16 Bionic chip.
