With the launch of the iPhone 14 series at Apple's 'Far Out' event on 7 September, Apple has officially discontinued several iPhone 14 discontinued models — including the beloved iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, and the entire iPhone 13 Pro line. Here is a complete breakdown of which iPhones got the axe and how prices on surviving older models have changed.
Which iPhone 14 Discontinued Models Were Removed From Apple's Lineup?
Apple has quietly removed the following iPhones from its official website and Apple Store following the iPhone 14 launch:
- iPhone 11 — powered by the A13 Bionic chipset with a strong battery life
- iPhone 12 Mini — the compact option in Apple's 2020 lineup
- iPhone 13 Pro — launched in September 2021 at a starting price of ₹1,19,900
- iPhone 13 Pro Max — introduced alongside the 13 Pro with a 120Hz ProMotion display, triple-camera system, and A15 Bionic chipset
While these models are no longer sold through Apple directly, stock may still be available through third-party retailers including Amazon India, Flipkart, offline stores, and Croma.
iPhone 14 Series: What Apple Launched Instead
The Apple iPhone 14 series comprises four new models:
- iPhone 14
- iPhone 14 Plus
- iPhone 14 Pro
- iPhone 14 Pro Max
The Pro models bring upgraded cameras, the new Dynamic Island cutout, and an always-on display, making them a significant step up from the discontinued iPhone 13 Pro series.
Older iPhone Prices After the iPhone 14 Launch
One immediate benefit of the iPhone 14 launch is a price drop on older Apple models that remain in the lineup. The 128 GB iPhone 13, for example, has dropped from its original launch price of ₹79,990 to ₹69,990 — a saving of roughly ₹10,000.
Current Discounted Prices on Older iPhones
| Model | Storage | Launching Price | Current Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 13 Mini | 256 GB | ₹79,900 | ₹74,300 |
| iPhone 13 | 128 GB | ₹79,900 | ₹69,900 |
| iPhone 13 Pro | 128 GB | ₹1,19,900 | ₹1,07,900 |
| iPhone 12 Mini | 128 GB | ₹64,900 | ₹54,999 |
| iPhone 11 | 64 GB | ₹49,990 | ₹41,999 |
Should You Buy a Discontinued iPhone?
If you were eyeing an iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, or iPhone 13 Pro, the discontinuation actually presents a buying opportunity. Prices have fallen noticeably, and these devices — especially the iPhone 13 Pro Max with its A15 Bionic chipset and ProMotion 120Hz display — remain highly capable. Just ensure you purchase from a trusted seller and verify the device comes with a valid warranty.
