The 13 mini was already discontinued last year.
Agreed. So they can move to an all-AI capable iPhone lineup.
That's not unusual. Apple typically discontinues previous generation Pro and Pro Max models after the new model comes out.
New regular 15 and 15 Plus models are still available, though.
I guess they'll get discontinued the moment the new SE arrived.
If you go to a physical Apple Store they should still be selling the 15 Pro at a bit of a discount until Sept. 20th when they get 16 Pro stock. Not available from the online store any more though.
Edit: Also 3rd party retailers and carriers will also have some stock that they are selling off for a while too.

The iPhone Pro models are only ever around for a year, is it any surprise that the same thing happened to the 15 Pros that happened to the 11 Pros, 12 Pros, 13 Pros and 14 Pros?

The rumor is the SE4 will be on the iPhone 14 chassis but with an A18 chip, a single camera and the new apple modem. Once the iPhone SE4 is introduced I would Suspect additional iPhone models will stop being sold by Apple. With the iPhone SE3 and 14 (and possibly the a 15) being eliminated, there is lots of headroom for pricing an iPhone SE4. And you know, Apple is just waiting to be able to claim, “Look! We have an all AI capable iPhone lineup.”
The 14 will most likely be discontinued when the SE4 is released. There is precedence for this with both the iPhone 5s (which was discontinued when the 1st gen SE was released) and the iPhone 8 (which was discontinued when the 2nd gen iPhone SE was released). The iPhone 15 will be in a weird place with an older chip and no Apple Intelligence support, but probably with a better camera and better screen (brighter with dynamic island).

Not true, I bought my wife's 14 Pro a few days after the 15's in-store release, a year ago.
It's been discontinued for a year already.
The 15 Pro Series is Apple Intelligence enabled so they don’t want it to potentially cannabalize the 16 series sales
Is it possible for that to happen? Yes. Is it probable? No.
Has Apple ever discontinued an iPhone midway after introducing a new flagship or when an SE iPhone was introduced? I can't remember that ever happening.
Love my SE 3, but it feels a little bit outdated these days. I've been waiting for the SE 4. What are you using that is keeping you from upgrading right now?
The 15 Pro Max has only been out for a year. Hell, it didn't even make the full year (I bought mine like September 22nd). I thought this was a typo but apparently it's not.
Rest in peace to my 15…
Which I will probably keep until iPhone 23.
Which I will probably keep until iPhone 23.
Why is this news and a surprise to anyone? They do this every year with the previous Pro phones so they can boost sales of the new iPhone pros.
Who in their right mind will get the iPhone 15 plus over the 16 for that same price 😊
Nothing new, but it does feel like a very crowded lineup of basically identical products to most people.
Exactly, they want to upsell every last customer
