Currently, Apple has many iPhone models on sale. The cheapest is the newly released iPhone SE 3, which starts at $429. If you have more money, though, you can pick up the $499 iPhone 11, the $699 iPhone 12, or even the $785 iPhone 13 (with a price cut in China). According to iDropNews, Apple has begun planning to integrate its product line after the fall iPhone 14 release. Not only will the company discontinue the iPhone 11, it will also cut the price of the iPhone 12 from $699 to $599. As for the iPhone 12 mini, the device starts at $499.
Such marketing routines have been reflected in previous generations of new iPhones. Judging by the latest report, Apple doesn’t appear to be planning to change course this year. Coming back to the iPhone 14 series, according to recent reports, the four models this year are quite different. The first is that the company will discontinue the 5.4-inch mini model. However, it will now have two 6.1-inch and two 6.7-inch models. The four models will be the iPhone 14, 14 Max, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
In addition, Apple’s iPhone 14/14 Max will continue the small bangs design of the iPhone 13 series. However, the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max will now feature a dual punch hole for a higher screen-to-body ratio. Again, only the 14 Pro display is exclusively supplied by Samsung, the other three are supplied by LG and even BOE.
