| Apple discontinues iPhone XR and iPhone 12 Pro |
With the advent of a large number of new iPhones, many models have appeared on the market. Apple halted production of the iPhone XR, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max this year to make way for the iPhone 13 series.
The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max have disappeared from the company's online store. When the lineup is updated, this is a typical feature of the Pro model. Although it was sold less than a year ago.
If you are looking to spend over $1,000 on a brand new iPhone along with the iPhone 13, third-party suppliers and retailers are yours now.
While devices may appear elsewhere at discounted prices from time to time, the company's retail options reduce the choice to buy last year's flagship models rather than go for the newer and larger ones.
Outside the range of products is the iPhone XR, which was launched in 2018 and is a cheaper alternative to the iPhone XS with an LCD screen. This is a mid-range device with a neural engine, second generation Face ID, and a variety of colors.
The arrival of the iPhone XR coincides with the demise of the last iPhone with a headphone jack. Although this year's turnaround wasn't that dramatic. But this includes switching to cheaper options in the lineup.

The iPhone XR is priced at $499. But the price of the iPhone 11 dropped by $100 to make up for the shortfall. At the launch of the iPhone 11, Apple said the latest device could offer up to an hour of additional battery life compared to its predecessor, a super-fast U1 chip for finding items, and the latest A13 bionic processor.
The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini will also have $100 cutoffs starting at $699 and $599, respectively. The retail price of the iPhone SE is still $399.
The new Pro devices aren't the cheapest. However, once the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max start shipping on day 24, they will have a higher refresh rate display, a new camera system, and CPU and GPU improvements.
The iPhone 13 model has 128 GB of storage, which is more than 64 GB, and the price has not increased.
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max can be ordered with up to terabytes of storage. The new iPhone will receive pre-orders on Friday and will be officially launched on September 24.
