Yesterday\u2019s Apple Event<\/a> was comforting. For an hour and a half, Tim Cook and others soothed me. They introduced \u201cthe best iPhone ever\u201d and gave me a brief respite from this hellworld.<\/p>\n

That feeling couldn\u2019t last though. On one hand, due to my crippling anxiety, and the other because I get paid to write about companies like Apple.<\/p>\n

So, when I rolled out of bed this morning I began digging. And something made me double take: Apple stopped selling its iPhone 11 Pro models on its site.<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/a>WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yep, if you go on Apple\u2019s website<\/a> you can no longer purchase last year\u2019s top models, instead you have to buy the iPhone 12 Pro range instead. This is pretty weird \u2014 especially because the iPhone 11 Pro models are fantastic phones<\/a> that\u2019ll still be relevant for years to come.<\/p>\n

Why has Apple stopped selling the iPhone 11 Pro models?<\/h2>\n

I think it\u2019s about two connected things: supply chain and muddling its phone range.<\/p>\n

The first one we can brush past quickly. The more different phones Apple sells, the more complex manufacturing and shipping them becomes. Discontinuing the iPhone 11 Pro nips that in the bud.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t adequately answer why<\/em> the company would get rid of some of its best phones so quickly. And, to understand that, we need to look closer at yesterday\u2019s announcements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This was the first time Apple introduced four different iPhone models \u2014 this brings the current number of iPhones it\u2019s selling up to seven. Now, let\u2019s have a look at how much the base models cost:<\/p>\n
