iPhone 15 Pro no more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"iPhone<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were you waiting for the iPhone 16 announcement to decide between the new iPhones and last year\u2019s best iPhone, the iPhone 15 Pro? Well, you might be out of luck, as Apple has discontinued the iPhone 15 Pro and its bigger sibling, the iPhone 15 Pro Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this isn\u2019t necessarily a shock, considering Apple discontinues its Pro model iPhones every year, it does handcuff new buyers wanting to use Apple Intelligence<\/strong>, Apple\u2019s suite of AI tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until this week, the only iPhones capable of the upcoming Apple Intelligence features like proofreading, Genmoji, and Siri\u2019s overhaul were the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, but now you can\u2019t buy them from Apple anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Apple\u2019s lineup of iPhones now includes the iPhone SE, iPhone 14<\/a>, iPhone 14 Plus<\/a>, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Of these, only the 16 lineup can use the new AI technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth noting that you\u2019ll be able to pick up the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max for the same price as last year\u2019s 15 Pro and Pro Max, although it would\u2019ve been nice to see Apple include the old Pro devices to offer an extra option for those who don\u2019t want the iPhone 16, but don\u2019t want to fork out for the Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s still hope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it stands, you can still pick up the 15 Pro and Pro Max from carriers, but the offers on the older models might not last for long, with emphasis pushed towards Apple\u2019s new shiny smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of Apple Intelligence capabilities, expect all but one of the same features on the new iPhones and last year\u2019s offering. Visual Intelligence, Apple\u2019s Google Lens competition, is activated from the new Camera Control side button, which is exclusive to the iPhone 16 line, so iPhone 15 Pro owners will miss out on that particular AI tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
