iPhone Discontinue: Apple Drops 3 Old Models After iPhone 17 Series Launch
Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone 17 Series — which includes the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Alongside the launch, the company has quietly discontinued three older models from its lineup:
-
iPhone 16 Pro
-
iPhone 16 Pro Max
-
iPhone 15
These models have been removed from Apple’s official website. This means they will no longer be manufactured or sold directly by Apple. However, you can still purchase them through offline retailers and online platforms like Flipkart and Amazon
Even though Apple has discontinued the iPhone 16 Pro, its price has dropped sharply after the iPhone 17 launch.
-
Listed price on Flipkart: ₹1,12,900
-
Instant discount: ₹7,000
-
Bank card discount: ₹4,000
-
Exchange offer: Value depends on phone’s condition/model
With all offers combined, the effective price can drop below ₹65,000 — making it a solid deal for those eyeing last year’s flagship.
