iPhone 15/Plus Will Iphone 15 be removed from apple.com once the 17 series are out in September?

[MyPhone99]

I am looking to get 15 . Currently they are available for 699$ (+29$ for unlocked version) on apple.com
Usually when a new phones launches, the prices of existing models will go down by 100$ on apple.com

But at the same time, they will remove the oldest model from the listing and currently iPhone 15 series are oldest models that are being sold on apple.com so does that mean 15 series wont be available once 17 series are out ?

Also the 14 Series were available when 16 Series were released last September but were removed when 16e is launched. So i am assuming 15 to be available on apple.com for 599$ but i am not sure on this.

P.S: I am getting this unlocked version from apple.com as i wanted this phone to be used in my home country so please dont suggest me to get this phone from a carrier deals/ Third Party Sellers. I wanted to get it from apple.com

I'm thinking that once the 17 is released, the 15 will only be available on Apple's refurbished store, where it is available now for US$619 unlocked, but you'd have to keep watching for the model you want to show up there.
