If all goes well, Apple will announce the iPhone 12 series in October. It has been reported that when the new iPhones arrive, Apple will discontinue some.
The source of the info is the Twitter account @iAppleTimes, and according to the leaker, Apple may discontinue the iPhone XR after the iPhone 12 launches. They cite the availability of the more powerful iPhone SE 2020 as a better alternative rather than reducing the price of the XR again.
Apple to discontinue iPhone XR and iPhone 11 Pro models after iPhone 12 launch.
iPhone 11 at $549— iAppleTimes (@iAppleTimes) August 20, 2020
For those who want a bigger display, the source says the iPhone 11 which is actually the successor to the XR should get a price cut and start at $549. The phone currently has a starting price of $699 and $150 off does sound like a good price slash.
It has also been reported that Apple will discontinue the iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max seeing as they now have successors. Apple took a similar decision last year when it launched the iPhone 11 series as it discontinued the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
The new iPhone 12 series will come with more powerful processors and better cameras.
