Apple has also said goodbye to the iPhone 13 small, which debuted in the 2021 iPhone lineup as a cheap option, with a starting price of Rs 69,900 for the 128GB storage model.

Can you still buy the discontinued models of Apple iPhones?

However, those still looking for these older iPhone models can be found through third-party shops and big e-commerce sites like Amazon and Flipkart. Brick-and-mortar businesses will continue offering these models until their current stock runs out. Apple's decision to retire specific models demonstrates the company's dedication to introducing new and innovative products to the Indian market, ensuring consumers can access the most up-to-date technology and features in their devices.
