JAKARTA In accordance with the USB-C rules that were inaugurated in the European Union recently, all mobile phones must use the cable model as a charger. This rule also applies to iPhones.

According to the official journal published by the European Commission, this rule will be implemented from December 28. This new policy is actually not difficult because most devices already use USB-C cables, but not with Apple-made products.

Although the company has left the Lightning port since its release, some of the phones are still being sold under a cable version made by Apple. This will certainly make it difficult for the company if they keep selling cellphones with the iPhone 14 model down.

Therefore, Apple began to attract the last iPhone model with a Lightning port on the Swiss Apple Store. There are three cellphones that have officially disappeared from the online store, including the iPhone SE, iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Plus.

So far, the stock of the three models has only been removed from Apple's existing online stores in Switzerland. People in the European Union can still buy their devices from the Apple Store online in France or Spain.

Some shops that still sell iPhone SE and the iPhone 14 series will follow in the near future. All stores in the European Union may stop selling phones with Lightning ports in the next few days or just as the rules apply.

This is bad news for people in the European Union who are still interested in buying the three models. After December 28, residents in the region can only buy the iPhone 15 or the iPhone 16 series.
