As Apple continues to roll out its latest devices, the company is also pushing older iPhone models into retirement. With Apple's iPhone 16 announcement less than a month away, here’s the official scoop on which iPhones are being taken off the shelves in 2024 and what that means for consumers.
Discontinued iPhone Models in 2024
The iPhone 12 Series:
The iPhone 12 family, including the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, has been officially discontinued. Launched in 2020, these models were celebrated for their introduction of 5G connectivity and Super Retina XDR displays. As of now, they are no longer available directly from Apple. (Keen readers of Apple Scoop will remember that the iPhone 12 was the first iPhone we ever covered here on applescoop.org when we launched in 2020. Time flies!)
The iPhone 13 Series:
With the advent of the iPhone 15, the iPhone 13 series will be officially retired and unavailable for purchase from Apple online or in-store. This includes the iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Older Generations:
In addition to these recent models, older iPhones such as the iPhone 11 series and the iPhone XS series have also been discontinued from Apple’s lineup. These were discontinued at the end of last year with the introduction of the iPhone 15.

Though these models are no longer sold by Apple, they might still be found through third-party retailers or in refurbished condition.
Impact and What’s Next
In the coming years, Apple will no longer issue software updates for these devices — making them officially obsolete. As new iPhone models launch, Apple tends to phase out older ones to streamline its offerings. The discontinuation of these models reflects Apple's ongoing strategy to encourage upgrades while making way for the latest technology. Consumers might find these discontinued models at discounted rates through other channels, but they should also be mindful of the risks associated with using outdated hardware.
Looking Ahead
If you’re using a model that’s no longer supported, it’s worth considering an upgrade to ensure you’re getting the latest features and security updates. iOS 18 is set to bring a wide range of changes to hundreds of millions of iPhone users around the world — click here to dive deeper into the upcoming changes.
