Apple’s decision to discontinue the iPhone 14 isn’t exactly surprising. The 14’s most recent starting price, $599, is the same as the new iPhone 16E, which comes with several upgrades over the three-year-old phone, including an A18 chip that supports Apple Intelligence, Apple’s first in-house C1 modem, and a USB-C port instead of Lightning.
Last December, Apple began pulling the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and the iPhone SE from its online stores in several European countries, including Austria, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, and many others, as the European Union began enforcing its new law mandating USB-C charging ports on most devices.
