With the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, Apple’s lineup of smartphones has been updated. However, with the introduction of the newer devices, some of the older ones have been let go of. Starting today, you will not be able to officially buy the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max.

The iPhone 7 series is quite a few years old now and thus it makes sense to kill it, and even more sensible to drop the prices of the iPhone XR and iPhone 8 series. However, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max were released just last year. Then again, given their high starting price tags and the fact that they wouldn’t be a compelling solution if Apple discounted, it might explain why they have been discontinued. Of course, you might still be able to find them through unofficial channels, but as far as Apple is concerned, these products are no longer available.
