6 and 6S tiny screens half GB RAM, 6 Plus all the way to 8 Plus lack of Dual SIM and relatively smaller screen with dying tech, XR at $450 it makes sense not at $800! XS, Plus ridiculously priced with Dual SIM without Dual WhatsApp or Dual iMessage....Apple devalued its brand by selling old tech.

There is no premium thing on iPhones anyway. It's lack of feature and harder to use. But people think paying extra means premium? Simply stupid

The only flaw I see with this strategy is the assumption that IPhones are on a premium category above any android phone.
You can call this a personal preference but IPhone's got nothing on Flagships of the likes of the S10, P30 or Mate 20. Heck even One Plus 7 pro is one heck of a contender to the IPhone.

It seems Apple will be focusing production of apply newer models at India. Since many factories move out from China. If India indeed can succeed as production basis of Iphone, It seems Indian government are quickmoving to grab the opportunity from trade war

Real headline: Apple stops selling their old, overpriced phones so they can sell their newer, even more overpriced phones in India.

It's more that landfill options are nowadays much more decent than it was merely 3 years ago and people just go for it instead of saving for a pricier option. So Apple can't really compete there so they just cut their losses and abandon this segment altogether, and avoid losing profit from wealthier customers who might consider buying older iPhones. This, honestly, makes perfect sense to me

I never thought that apple is still giving their devices premium prices even tho its clearly outdated compared to this year's phones. No wonder they're going down so fast.

"The new cheapest model you can now buy from Apple in India is the iPhone 6s, but it's around INR 8,000 ($116 or €103) **more expensive** than the previous entry-level handset, the iPhone SE, used to be.
Emphasis added.
But on the topic, that's actually a fairly sound strategy. It's no use to compete in the landfill segment in India (and Asia as a whole). So forget about it, stop diluting your sales and upsell.

Why apple do not mass produce 6s? It is the best contender in 2019 or even 2020. Better than 6 or 6plus.
