As usual, after releasing their latest devices, Apple discontinued a number of the most popular iPhone models.

iPhone13 Pro and Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max
The company may also discontinue the ‘Pro’ models in the Apple iPhone 13 lineup because the ‘non-Pro’ models in the Apple iPhone 14 series are powered by the same A15 Bionic chip. The company also killed the Apple iPhone 13 Pro models as the new iPhones don’t have a huge price difference from the current models.
The iPhone 14 Pro starts at Rs 1,29,900 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max at Rs 1,39,900. This is Rs 10,000 more than what iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max cost at launch. Apple retired the iPhone XR last year. This year it’s the iPhone 11. This means the iPhone 12 is now the cheapest entry-point option if you’re looking to buy a modern-day iPhone. There is no iPhone 12 Mini either. The iPhone 12 starts at Rs 59,900.
