Maybe pick up an iPhone 14 or SE

Apple is preparing to discontinue the iPhone SE and iPhone 14 series in Europe as the EU's USB-C mandate takes effect in January 2025. This move is necessary to comply with the new regulations that require all mobile phones sold in the EU to use a USB-C charging port.

​

While this might seem like a minor inconvenience for some, it marks a significant shift for Apple, which has long championed its proprietary Lightning connector. The company has opted not to update these models with USB-C, likely due to the cost and complexity of such a redesign.
The SE  model appeals to many as it’s one of the smallest smartphones on the market and is pretty feature rich to boot!

Soon, there will be USB-C models to keep the small size phone alive.

Incidentally the iPhone14 is not too shabby either for a larger size iPhone.

What this means though is Apple will be running out Lightning port models over the next little while and I expect there will be drastic discounts never before seen in the Apple-verse.

So, keep an eye on online retailers and physical stores for potential discounts on the iPhone SE and iPhone 14 series - and maybe buy a few spare charging cables 🙂
