Apple to Cease Sales of iPhone 14 and iPhone SE in EU Due to USB-C Mandate

The move aligns with new EU regulations requiring USB-C charging ports for all smartphones sold after December 28, 2024.

Apple will stop selling the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and third-generation iPhone SE in the EU starting December 28, 2024, to comply with new USB-C charging port regulations.
The regulation applies to all smartphones sold in the EU, including older models manufactured after the law takes effect.
Apple Authorized Resellers in the EU can continue selling existing inventory of these models until stocks are depleted.
A fourth-generation iPhone SE with a USB-C port is rumored to launch in spring 2025, potentially replacing the discontinued model in the EU market.
The decision marks the early end of Lightning port-equipped iPhones in the EU, with Apple fully transitioning to USB-C across its device lineup.
