After the 2025 Apple autumn press conference ended, the official website immediately launched the iPhone 17 series.
New products will be launched, and old models will be removed from Apple's official website.

There are many old iPhones removed this year, including iPhone15, iPhone15Plus, iPhone16Pro, and iPhone16ProMax.
According to the normal removal process, Apple should actually only remove iPhone16Pro and iPhone16ProMax.
The removal cycle of iPhone15 and iPhone15Plus should be September 2026.
But in February this year, Apple's official website released the iPhone16e, removed the iPhone14 and 14Plus, speeding up the product iteration cycle.

At present, the old models on sale on Apple's official website are iPhone16, iPhone16Plus, and iPhone16e.
According to the removal cycle of Apple's official product, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16Plus are expected to be removed from the shelves in September next year.
But this year, the situation seems a bit special. Ji Ge noticed that Apple has also removed the 256G, 512G iPhone 16 version, and 512G iPhone 16 Plus.

There are only 6 models left in the iPhone 16 series on sale on the official website, of which the 128G version of iPhone 16 is reduced by 600 yuan, and is currently priced at 5,399 yuan.
iPhone16Plus has been reduced by 1,000 yuan on Apple's official website, the 128G version is priced at 5,999 yuan, and the 256G version is priced at 6,999 yuan.
The price of iPhone16e has not been adjusted, and the models on sale are 128G, 256G, and 512G versions respectively.
Removing iPhone16Pro and iPhone16ProMax, Ji Ge actually understands the reason. This is a normal product iteration and update process, and it is necessary to give way to iPhone17Pro sales.
Some models of iPhone 16 have been removed from the shelves, and they are also giving way to the standard version of iPhone 17.

This year's iPhone 17 standard version is priced at 5999 yuan, with a starting capacity of 256G, and a 512G version is priced at 7999 yuan.
If the 256G and 512G versions of iPhone 16 are not removed from the shelves, the price reduction will inevitably affect the sales of iPhone 17.
When the 512G version of iPhone16Plus is not removed from the shelves, it will affect the sales of iPhone Air.
Currently, there are only two 128G versions of Apple phones on sale on Apple's official website, namely iPhone16e and iPhone16.
And Brother Ji also found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the price of the 128G version of iPhone 16 is only 100 yuan different from the price of the 256G version of iPhone 16e.

More dramatic is that the 256G version of iPhone 16e is priced at 5499 yuan, the 256G version of iPhone 17 is priced at 5999 yuan, and the official website difference is only 500 yuan.
Similarly, the difference between the 512G iPhone 17 and the 512G iPhone 16e is only 500 yuan.
You should know that although the prices of these two Apple phones are only 500 yuan different at the same capacity, the gap is even greater in terms of hardware configuration and functions.
The iPhone 16e has been on sale for more than half a year, and it has encountered such an embarrassing situation.
Ji Ge thinks that Apple's official website might as well directly remove the 256G and 512G version of iPhone 16e.

In fact, this angle can also show how cost-effective the iPhone 17 is.
