Starting with the biggest surprise here, Apple tree has discontinued terminal yr's iPhone X, a device which popularized the whole 'notch' blueprint trend that has been carried over to the freshly announced iPhone XR, iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max trio. Moreover, Apple has as well discontinued iii others iPhone models which flaunted a 3.5mm headphone jack: the iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus and the iPhone SE.

Apple tree has removed the iPhone X, 6S duo and the iPhone SE from its official US website.Not simply does the iPhone X withal pack a very capable hardware and delivers an excellent experience, the device is merely ane year old.

The iPhone X was the world'southward best selling smartphone in the last quarter of 2017 and connected its hot streak in Q1 2018 to retain the crown, which makes it all the more surprising as to why Apple chose to discontinue it.

As for the iPhone 6S and the 6S Plus, their discontinuation in the US market can be explained because they are at present over three years old.
