See why Apple discontinue the sale of iPhone 7?

Apple made major announcements to its iPhone lineup last month, but you probably missed one. There were the major announcements — an iPhone 8 and an iPhone X coming this fall — but the company also revised its iPhone 7 offerings. Apple discontinued selling of a 256GB iPhone 7, previously the largest capacity, leaving consumers with three options: 32GB, 128GB, or the 256GB iPhone 8.
As We also talked to an Apple customer service rep, who confirmed that the company no longer directly offers a 256GB iPhone 7. A spokesperson for the company didn’t respond to our request for comment.

While you can’t buy a 256GB iPhone 7 directly from Apple anymore, you may find it’s available via your wireless carrier. Verizon still offers a 256GB iPhone 7 for $749.99, compared to $849.99 for the 256GB iPhone 8, for example.
Even if people aren’t so hot on the iPhone 8 — which counts among its new features simple wireless charging and a more powerful processor — Apple can encourage purchases by making it the only way to get a 256GB iPhone.
Of course, the iPhone 8 isn’t the only new device Apple’s launching this fall. A considerably more advanced iPhone X (with up to 256GB of storage!) is on its way next month, potentially depressing interest in the less spicy iPhone 8.
