This softer finish will be restricted to just the iPhone SE. This is the regular Apple routine and has the advantage this year that all the Face ID iPhones will have a uniform design language with flat screen and straight edges instead of pillowed glass and rounded antenna band.

What’s also likely is that the oldest iPhone on sale just now, the iPhone 11, will also slide into retirement in September as well. Apple’s routine is interesting: the Pro and Pro Max are the most expensive iPhones so you might expect a company to keep those in the range as long as possible but Apple chooses to delete them after just one year. So, if it’s a Pro you’re after, snap it up before September 13: Apple retires phones on the day of the announcement, not day of release of the new models.Īlternatively, if you want a Pro iPhone, you may do better to wait until the iPhone 14 Pro goes on sale.

It suggests, and I agree, that the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max will be removed from sale with the announcement of the new models. It also speculates on other details of the release schedule, specifically on which iPhones are about to be cancelled. Meanwhile, Tom’s Guide today confirmed that it also believes September 13 is the most likely date, working this out from the same leaks and information-and the recognition that Apple is a creature of habit so is likely to fit with what it’s done in the past.
