Yeah why are these chips still produced at all? The iPhone 16 just came out and the 14/15 stockpiles will be sold off for cheaper just to get rid of them. What am I missing?

The iPhone is not the only product Apple makes.

The Apple Watch, TV, iPad, Studio Display, etc. all use variants of older A series SOCs.

AppleTV, HomePod, a new display. Could be anything. There could also be government or corporate contracts requiring the mass production of a slightly older chip for something.
