Not surprised. Pro devices are not offered for sale when new ones are released. Also the price cut for the 16 was bound to happen.

Haha, this is so greedy. They just scared of this “progress”
...what part of this is greed? They've discontinued the Pro models every year after the launch of the new ones since they existed.

If people still want them, most carriers will knock $100 off the price and sell the remaining stock once the new models are in store.
