Apple no longer sells new iPhones with Lightning ports

Apple has stopped selling new iPhones with Lightning ports with the launch of the iPhone 16E and the removal of the iPhone 14 and the third-generation iPhone SE from its website. All new iPhones have a USB-C port. Finally.
This change isn’t a surprise. Apple has slowly migrated its products to USB-C from Lightning, which it introduced more than a decade ago with the iPhone 5, with updated iPads and newer accessories like the Magic Mouse and keyboard. Even the Siri Remote for Apple TV is available with a USB-C port.
Apple still sells some accessories that rely on Lightning, including the first-generation Apple Pencil and a handful of adapters.
While I have written about why I like Lightning — I’m still holding onto my iPhone 12 Mini, after all — it’s really coming time for me to jump up to a USB-C iPhone. And now I have lots of different options to pick from.
