I doubt any of the "Mini or nothing" crowd will ever buy another phone.

Grab a refurbished SE instead of new for about half the price. Nobody should buy the 2022 SE new when there’s refurbished models.
And the Apple Store offers me $480 Canadian ($353US) for a 15 model with 256GB…pathetic … thanks penny pinching Tim!

Yeah, and not only that. With the big technological gap (A15/16 vs A18, Absence of Apple Intelligence, Lightning vs USB-C…) between the iPhone 14 or 15 and the new 16 is really big. An honest move would have been leaving the SE 3, the 15 and the 16/16Pro. Or even just the 15 and 16/16Pro, despite how much I love my SE 3.
Maybe they want to clean stock before releasing the SE 4.
Yes, when the 1st Gen iPhone SE was introduced in March 2016 the iPhone 5s that it was based on was discontinued. When the 2nd Gen iPhone SE was introduced in April 2020 the iPhone 8 that it was based on was discontinued. Since this iPhone SE is supposed to be based on the iPhone 14 it would make sense for the iPhone 14 to be discontinued when it is introduced.
Indeed you are correct
Apple Discontinues 5.4-Inch iPhone 13 Mini, Still Sells iPhone 13 and iPhone 14
With the launch of the new iPhone 15 models, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 13 mini, the last remaining flagship iPhone under six inches. Apple...

As many have said in this thread, last version pro's are always discontinued when the new model pro's arrive.. This has happened every year going back to the X. The 15Pro/ProMax will still be sold by cellular carriers and 3rd party suppliers for awhile even though Apple stores stop selling them
You’d be hard-pressed to tell the difference between the 13 and 16 if they were fully encased and you didn’t know which one you were using.
Yeah after I posted I scrolled through the thread (And I probably should have done it in reverse) and was surprised this was a common occurrence. It does make a little sense.
They're still selling iPhone 12 in my country for $500. Hopefully they'll stop selling it, but I wouldn't count on it since they still sell iPhone 11, but at least now we get rid of iPhone 11.
is this your first year of phone releases? every year, they do this. Pro goes, most recent regular gets a price cut.
Dude. ‘Full AI’ is mostly hype. We won’t get full AI for around a decade.
It makes perfect sense when you consider the gigantic profit margins they make on the pro/max versions.
Agree. Besides, in the EU plans for AI are for the next year. So, I guess I have my iPhone 15 Pro for two years more. And by then Apple will launch the foldable iPhone 18, which will remind me of those lovely times when I discreetly had my flip phone in any pocket.
And probably paying top dollar subscription! There is no such thing as a free lunch!
just curious. What are you doing on the phone that requires always on display? I, myself, keep trying to avoid it and use as little as possible. Procrastination is strong with this one..
By the time the Se4 is released they will likely drop the 14 line.
That woild make the most sense. The se3 and the 14 will both be dropped at se4 release.
Here’s a reason
Multiply that $100 by a few hundred of millions. You got a proper marketing scheme
It's such a pity that they stop iPhone 13 production because it's still a viable phone for many new users.
They should drop the SE, because it's ancient, and keep the 13 at the SE price.

With the launch of the new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple has discontinued some of its older iPhones. As of today, Apple is no longer selling the iPhone 13, and the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have been replaced with the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The iPhone SE remains as Apple's most affordable device, with the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus each receiving a $100 price drop as they replace the iPhone 13 models. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are also available for $100 less than their equivalent iPhone 16 models, with pricing starting at $699.
While the iPhone 13 and iPhone 15 Pro models have been discontinued by Apple, they may still be available from the refurbished store while supplies last, and third-party retailers will also have some stock available until it sells out.
- iPhone SE - $429
- iPhone 14 - $599, down from $699
- iPhone 14 Plus - $699, down from $799
- iPhone 15 - $699, down from $799
- iPhone 15 Plus - $799, down from $899
- iPhone 16 - $799
- iPhone 16 Plus - $899

the 13 will morph into the new SE in a few months...
EDIT: so how can someone Down button the fact the 13 will become the next SE? That's why phones become obsolete and slip off the release list... so they can be reborn as the low end device sometime later. That's just a fact. The next SE is going to be a big step up from the current one and surely that's a good thing for everyone.

but Apple like to have a $100 price point gap between cheapest to newest.
something for everyone.
and no need to do any R&D.
customers find value at somewhere on the scale...
Some people may value a larger display and battery over the features that the Pro provides.
Also, the price difference is actually only $70 e.g., $929 for the 128GB Plus versus $999 for the 128GB Pro.
