After ditching the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus in 2020, then the iPhone 12 Pro and XR after introducing the iPhone 13 a few months ago, Apple decided that a new model would leave its catalog at the end of the year. According to information from @LeaksApplePro, iPhone 11 should be removed from Apple Stores.
Thus, the release of the iPhone 14 in September 2022 will mark the end of one of the most famous smartphones of the manufacturer. So, it was suggested at $499 on the official website, and it was a good alternative to the newer models that sell for a few hundred dollars more. The iPhone SE 5G 2022 should particularly benefit from this new abandonment.

Apple will stop selling iPhone 11 after the launch of iPhone 14
Although the iPhone 11 does not have an OLED display and its components are now a few years old; The device has always destabilized iPhone SE sales. In fact, some customers preferred to spend a few dozen extra dollars to enjoy the phone; With a much larger screen and better battery life. As a reminder, the iPhone SE 5G 2022 still comes with the same 4.7-inch LCD screen as the older iPhones.
We know that Apple will sell fewer iPhone SEs 5G than expected in the coming months due to the war in Ukraine, but sales may rebound once the iPhone 11 is removed from the store. However, we know that Apple will also lower the price of the classic iPhone 12, which could thus become an interesting new alternative for smaller budgets. It remains to be seen what price the iPhone 12 can offer once the iPhone 14s is announced.
