The iPhone 14 and iPhone SE series will leave the EU before the end of 2024, other products are also in "danger".
Apple will stop selling the iPhone 14 series , iPhone SE, and several other devices in the European Union on December 28. The company's move is to comply with EU regulations - all new smartphones will have to have a USB-C port for charging.
The company also plans to stop selling some other products using its old proprietary Lightning port in the EU. Apple was forced to integrate USB-C ports into the iPhone 15 generation after pressure from the region, and that was seen as a welcome change in the tech industry.

The EU also asked Apple to do a number of other things. The company responded by making the required changes only within the EU, leaving its products unchanged in other regions. This included third-party NFC support and alternative app stores. Apple Intelligence remains unavailable in the EU to date due to conflicting policies.
Interestingly, the iPhone SE 4 will have a USB-C port but still use the iPhone 14 body. At the same time, the affordable iPhone will also be able to run Apple Intelligence.

Stores in the EU will be allowed to sell the remaining iPhone 14 and iPhone SE, so if you live in the EU, this may be your last chance to own an iPhone 14. In addition, "Apple" will also stop selling the above iPhone models in Northern Ireland, even though the country is not part of the EU.
Apart from these two iPhone models, iFans will still have many other options. The iPhone 15 is still a great phone to choose from, and users can always wait for the new iPhone SE 4 if they are on a tight budget.
If you plan on using an Apple device with a Lightning port in the near future, stock up on some device accessories before they run out.
